Pow R. Toc H.

(instrumental)

Man, now I gotta be honest with you, I have no idea what is this song about. Well, I know how The Piper at the Gates of Dawn album works - if you dont understand something about the song, just blame the crazy acidhead. His lyrics are childish and simply stupid, maybe even artsy? I'ts obvious that someone on sweet trip couldn't write anything sensible anyway?

I hate the fact you can't listen to the album without noticing the drugs part. You laugh and say "oh they must have had so much good time while composing it!" because it is true. Still, majority of listeners seem to forget the deeper meaning, it's not all about getting high and staying there, or some cool background music to smoking pot. It's so much more about mind. Explore it, find it, hide it, clean it, ruin it. Both drugs and music help with that, they work with your mind and change it. In many ways. I found it rather interesting, even to the point it became way too interesting. They, however, keep me balanced. Money plays its own part, too.

Drugs, music and money. Key to victory

I also hate the fact drugs define you as a person. I havent met anyone who has had nothing to say after they find about my use. It's always the same mantra about how to quit and what to do and why to do and why is it bad and why is it wrong and other shit like that. Well tell you what, we arent that screwed up, dumb, homeless losers who have ruined their life shooting heroin 24/7. No one does that anyway, it's physically impossible. At least I would overdose pretty fast, dont know about the hardcore users. But my point was, that not everyone somewhere here is about to die. Most arent. Forget about the cliches, I'm fed up with people telling shit like that. So here comes another mantra. I dont need help, since there are no problems, and quitting is not an option, since there is no will to do that. This speech was inspired by what she said to me.

I love drugs.

Music defines you as a person. If you listen to rock, people want you to act like a badass. If you're into pop, you're either gay or cool, depending on who says. And if you dont listen to music at all, in my eyes you are nothing. Being a musician is even better. There is always someone to hate you and your music. Your lyrics and melodies are crap and stupid, lame shit. Nothing compared to Beethoven or other geniuses. But is that a surprise? You're not as famous as Beethoven is, either. And there must be a reason for that. Even though I have to admit... the popularity of music does not usually tell about the quality nowadays. It's easy to create a four chord song with dirty lyrics about "love". I wouldnt call this.. "thing" as music anyway. But I still love playing, composing, listening, anything.

I love music.

But what controls the most and defines everything... is money. If you are rich, you are not allowed to whine. If you are poor, you should start working. I happen to be rich/poor. Rich as the country I live in, is still rather rich and not part of third world countries, rich as my family is, and so on. Poor as  personally, I have no money. I wouldnt like to be inside its cold grasp, but I still am. Money controls us. Later on, I will tell more about that, when the time is right.

I hate money.

I just realized that typing like this, with great spaces, makes the text look very... wannabe cool. Artsy and stupid. Too bad I noticed it too late. Live with it
