  • Travelling swallowing Dramamine
    Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine
    I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya
    And that you'd killed the better part of me
    If you could just milk it for everything
    I said what I'd said and you know what I mean
    But I still can't focus on anything
    We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves

    Travelling swallowing Dramamine
    Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
    And you think you've figured out everything
    I think I know my geography pretty damn well
    You say what you need so you'll get more
    If you could just milk it for everything
    I said what I said and you know what I mean
    But I can't still focus on anything Writer/s: Eric Judy, Isaac Brock, Jeremiah Green

  • Marcus Mcculloch from Orcas Island, Washington.For me, he is lamenting about a narcissistic relationship. Just that simple......for me.
  • Stump from Gulf Shores, AlHAHAHA oh the bulls--t people will post just because no one knows them. . You guys are getting f--ked up on DRAMAMINE?? I mean, Ive seen some desperation, but I would NOT be proud of that! HAHA "Oh look at me Im depressed worry about me Im taking dramamine it's a crazy drug you never know what I'm gonna do next cause Im so f--ked up on dramamine!"-- Pretty ridiculous. . .
  • Shannon from Lynchburg, VaSummer 1989(or '90) My first year as a east coast beach bum. Us locals tripped most every night on one hallucinogenic or another. One night with no real trip to be found someone mentioned dramamine, and off we went on the wierdest....I'm sorry what was I, hey that shoes a phone,why won't this(invisible)kitty drink milk? It was like that. Not recommended!
  • Wyatt from Winthrop, Wawhat you guys are it does to reminds me at night when i was a preteen i used to wake up and just wander around not knowing much it is not very pleasent
  • Tim from Seattle Right Now, Wait is the definitive song for me in my early Seattle days of residence - sweetness - dour tone and sense, terse, so good...
  • Elle from Chattanooga, Tnwhile it's not considered a psychedelic (thanks, it's with an E), it does produce hallucinations which is generally accepted as a psychedelic if any sort of drug produced psychedelic mindsets.

    i took a full pack (it's between 10-12 in a pack) last year and i tripped extremely hard. even then i was using a lot of psychedelic drugs (actual psychedelics, LSD, psilocybin mushrooms and the like) and it was one of the hardest trips i had had. it felt like searching for a radio station but not being able to stop on just one frequency.

    i had many auditory and visual hallucinations on dramamine. i feel as if this song captures the mood and essence of a dramamine trip quite well. as mentioned, the lyrics not being lengthy or detailed suggest that isaac brock was tripping on dramamine while writing this song - and i agree, it's plausible. it was very hard to muster up the energy to move, and by the time i had gotten the courage to try and speak or move, i had forgotten what it was i was going to say or do.

    quite the amazing song. in my opinion, it's one of the songs that proves that modest mouse is the led zeppelin of our generation.
  • Elle from Chattanooga, Tnit's not considered a psych>>>E<<
    i took 12 last year and i tripped very hard. the first thirty minutes i spent lying on a couch feeling as if i was turning a radio knob but couldn't focus on just once frequency, as if i was hearing frequencies. i rationalised that i was probably hearing the neighbours speak (which wasn't true at all, it was an auditory hallucination).

    i had very vivid visual and auditory hallucinations when i tripped on dramamine, i feel as if this song captured the feeling quite well.
  • Aaron from Phoenix, AzI would like to point out the first fact is false...dramamine is not an opiate, and opiates do not cause flash backs (Quite the opposite, actually)

    Also, Dramamine is considered a Delerient, not a psychadelic.
  • Destiny from Chicago, IlI took 18 and overdosed when I was 13. ITs true your thoughts and speech is higly impaired. Why would you be afraid if you only tookone
  • Kathleen from Brownsville, TxI LOVE THIS SONG!! When I took one pill of Dramamine, I became "dead" for a day and a half causing people around me to quickly hate me. Wow. I'm afraid to take that pill. Never take it with Zoloft, it really slows down everything.
  • Eli from Canton, United StatesI took 16 dramamine once, I tripped balls, I would talk to someone for like 20 minutes, and then they would jest disapear, and i would try to grab my pesi, but my hands would pass right through it, it was so awesome, oyea, this song is sweet too
  • Jake from San Fran, CaYah, dramamine is pretty crazy drug that a lot of people under estimate. It can lull you into a meditative state.
  • Amy from Lawrence, KsThe Best song ever. By Far.
