Lyric discussion by robwes1 

This song is about taking psychedelics and becoming childlike again. Specifically about a particular substance DMT: The Spirit molecule that is on the back colorado river toad. The river toad also has 5-meo-DMT, Bufotenine and n-n-DMT. When you play with the frog it excretes these juices from its back. It is definitely not about LSD. These things do not happen on LSD. Believe me. This is a classic case of a DMT trip. DMT is the chemical released when you are born, go into REM sleep, and die. It is released through your pineal gland. When you take it you see beings from other dimensions of existence. You are no longer an atheist if you have done DMT. Please research DMT or watch the documentary DMT: The Spirit Molecule to understand M83. It is the only way you will understand what is really going on right now...Please do it. rickstrassman.com/index.php en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyltryptamine thespiritmolecule.com/

Spot on! Thanks for posting!

I must admit, at first I thought it was about Kambo, the skin secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog. But your explanation is more logical, as Kambo is more of a detox and not primarily a psychedelic drug. :)
