i don't think you can take anything like that seriously. i'm pretty i read a long time ago an interview where someone in the band said the song Sober was about an upstairs neighbor that was an alcoholic. they lie about their song meanings. i guess alex grey could just as easily lie too, you can't really know for sure.

This might help. I like the song and it doesnt really bother me if its about ET or 'cid buts still a good song. This could shed some light however.
“I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.” -MJK
