    he he just reading about everyone tripping makes me want to trip..!! God how fun that shit was.. It's been quite a while since I could afford that escape, but oh well. As for the Severed Hand part I almost wonder if that was a personal recollection for him. As if he's saying that partof shit is over..I don't know but I have never taken it to the literal point of assuming that it was a hallucination. Though It could be.. but in all my tripping days, I've neverseen such a lucid hallucination as what you guys have read into that line. I think more than anything like I said it's more metaphoric than literal. As for the big man standing behind an open door.. Some people trip with what they asume are spirit guide, kinda like they don't feel safe enough to trip alone so they create this "person" to trip with in their head.. maybe that's the symbol of the trip's beginning
    Just a guess. ok gotta go for a bit bye!!

    I always thought it was about tripping on acid....it was clear from the first listen.

    I've tripped alot, and have indeed seen some vivid hallucinations of things that simply were not there, so I can see it.

    actually from what I had gathered I always just it assumed this song got it's life's breath from Ed's experiences tripping on X though I know fro positive he has an affinity towards acid too or did.. So I guess for the moment either answer would work but It's just that the song came out so relatively close to the end of his trips on X. So naturally that's what I'd assume it was about.

    You don't "trip" on X

    So, lets go with the premise that temptation is war.

    does this make any sense to anyone besides me?

    No.

    You have quite an imagination though, I mean you're an interesting cat but I can't see (not that it matters wth I think) what you see...I would need psychotropics I think just to understand where you are coming from.
