Then We Got Stoned

WEGST0ND

This is a song about getting stoned. It's the next song in the album about a fucked up school. (See below if you're unfamiliar with this project). The main character and her friend get baked and then they regret it - probably cuz it's some strong weed and it makes them all paranoid. They get stoned in the bathroom, but that isn't evident in the actual song. But they do - it's the bathroom where they get stoned.

 Here's last week's song if you turn it around backwards (I had to dork around with the timing of the rhythm track relative to the vocal track to make it all line up).

Here are the lyrics:

Then we got stoned

We do not know why we thought it was a very good thing

We wonder why we thought it was a very good thing

Why do you think we thought it was a very good thing

We don’t know why we thought it was a very good thing

Then we got stoned

One day, I started writing a song about a fucked up school. Then, a few days later, that lawsuit came out, involving those pervy professors in the Dartmouth Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. I was all, oh, my stars!!! That’s where I got my Ph.D.! Then I finished writing the song about a week later. I thought it was just a song about how the school system fucks up kids, but after I finished writing and recording it, I realized parts of it were about my experiences in that poopy psych department (the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways). In any event, I decided to write an album about a fucked up school in order to process my experiences of having been in that department and how the culture there impacted me. This album ain’t necessarily about Dartmouth, per se. It’s more of a weird, inner exploration where I’m, like, having a fucked up dialogue with my unconscious about my experiences at Dartmouth. Jung used to call that kind of stuff “active imagination.” So far, this album follows the story of a girl, whose guardian angels try to protect her, but often can't find her.
