Okay perhaps my choice of words were a bit mischosen. I am not telling anyone what to believe, because that would be pointless.

I have stated that this is not a "OMG!1! this dude is trippin on LSD!" song.

But, I do believe that relating it to any sort of actual alien expierence is a injustice to such a great song. I personally don't believe that the narrator is in area 51, no does the fact that it is mentioned in the song mean that it has anything to do with it.

It's caotic nonsense, I believe it is used to make a visual example of how strange and odd his state of mind is. If you have ever taken LSD, you would know that often times reality can become so distorted and lost that you have no idea where you are, things look very different then normal, much like "Area 51"

But.. I give up, I have my opinion, you have the right to yours as well. No matter how misguided it may be.

Re: Not about Alien Abduction. (Worth reading IMO)
