Inspired by an actual LSD Bike Ride during the summer of 2021 in Ottawa, Ontario with friends. I had some pretty profound realizations about boundaries on this bike ride.
Also the chemist, Albert Hofmann, who first sythensized and ingested LSD rode his bike home as he was beginning to feel the effects of the psychedelic. But I didn't know this when I wrote the song.
lyrics
I’d love to spend the entire day with friends
But winter’s calling and I don’t know if this one will ever end
I’m flying high with a hint of respite
Down the Ottawa river
With people around
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
I don’t know it came to be, but it seems as though it’s LSD
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
Summer vacation I guess it never really began
The wolves around me took a bite out all of my plans
Ruined them (yeah yeah yeah)
A whiff of freedom an epiphany’s the reason
That I’ll be fine and in 8 months time I’ll be cruising through the season
(Ohhhh)
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
I don’t know it came to be, but it seems as though it’s LSD
It’s an LSD yes LSD bike ride
I declare boundaries sacred
For all intelligence
For just a moment I wanna be naked
And not have it be big deal
But I get the boundaries of others
I love you.
I declare boundaries sacred
For all the living things
For just a moment I wanna be naked
Revealing all that I feel…
I declare boundaries sacred
For all intelligence
For just a moment I wanna be naked
And not have it be big deal
But I get the boundaries of others
I love you.
