Desert Buttons...

Well, its a popular interpretation that Third Eye is about drugs, and I've just noticed another piece of information that kind of supports this...

When Maynard says "phosphourescent desert buttons", could he be referring to peyote? Its a very valid possibility...

Re: Desert Buttons...

This is EXACTLY what i believe that line is about. It would be hard for me to consider any other possiblity, as i have done that already, and found this to be the best, I mean, it goes with the theme: drugs, opening the third eye.

I haven't thought about this song in a while, and this thread got me thinking again, so i went back and checked an old post on some dumb forum i found a long time ago, and decided i'd give you the link here:

http://www.sorabji.com/strangle/mess...ry2720040635pm

anyways check it out, yeah my opinions about the song have changed as of late, but for the most part, well what's important anyways, it's still the same.

Re: Desert Buttons...

I just finished with the teachings of don juan. It was a good book, however, it isn't a good endorsement for peyote. I don't think I'll try peyote, at least not for a long time. Seems tedious based n Carlos Castaneda's account. I don't think I'm ready for such a potent substance.
