Ok when I first heard this song (in an episode of Malcom in the Middle) I absolutely loved it, it just sums up salvia so brilliantly to me. Ok I know what the song is actually written about, it's not salvia, but songs can have more than one meaning and this fits Sally D so perfectly. The whole song and even the music that accompanies could be in the dictionary beside the words Salvia Divinorium. I couldn't find a link to the whole song, but here are the lyrics. There also an amazing band, so many great original songs, it's a shame they never got the recognition they deserved. They Might Be Giants - Spiraling Shape Down, down, down you go No way to stop As you fall, hear me call No, no, no Listen to this warning and Consider these Simple words of advice Stop, stop, stop Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiralling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strange The spiralling shape will make you go insane (everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what its really like But everyone says its great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes This could lead to excellence Or serious injury Only one way to know Go, go, go Go ahead, wreck your life That might be good Who can say whats wrong or right? Nobody can Put out your hands and you fall through the window And clawing at nothing you drop through the void Your terrified screams are inaudible drowned In the spiral ahead and consumed in the shape The spiralling shape will make you go insane (everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (everyone wants to see that thing) And now that youve tried it, youre back to report That the spiralling shape was a fraud and a fake You didnt enjoy it, you never believed it There wont be a refund, youll never go back The spiralling shape will make you go insane (everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (everyone wants to see that thing) And nobody knows what its really like But everyone says its great And they heard it from the spiral in their eyes (spiral in their eyes) Fogging the view, cupping face to the window In darkness you make out a spiralling shape Putting all reason aside you exchange What you got for a thing thats hypnotic and strange The spiralling shape will make you go insane (everyone wants to see that groovy thing) But everyone wants to see that groovy thing (everyone wants to see that thing) Dont spend the rest of your life wondering (everyone wants to see that thing) Dont spend the rest of your life wondering (everyone wants to see that groovy thing) Dont spend the rest of your life wondering (everyone wants to see that thing) Uncanny no?
Not nescessarily salvia, but any psychedelic drug really. Basically saying, be careful with psychedelics, it's not all some groovy "Yellow Submarine" style hippy wonderland, it can be fucking scary and you might feel like you're going insane.
