When you dream , you hallucinate because your brain gives you DMT which is incredible the strongest hallucinogen known to man but perfectly normal. In fact , you can smoke DMT to go back to the "dream world" and you can't overdose or die. You see the definition of drugs mean "a substance absorbed into the body". You take drugs everyday including food and drinks or even being outside the trees give you a high which is why we say the smell is "mother nature". There are good and bad drugs
Not really , he became schizophrenia before he even took LSD as it cleary shows. Do some research as scientists use LSD to cure cluser headaches as well... LSD has minimum physical affects and only mental affects like hallucinating... health has clearly brainwashed you all as they used it as scare tactics because they didn't want anyone using illegal drugs. The creator of LSD was Albert Hoffman and he died at 102 years old in 2008. You didn't see his brain fried did you?
@evilmario36 there is a major difference between scientists using lsd and people ABusing it! you can never know what it does to such an unsayably complex mechanism as the brain -- and how do you now so much about barrett´s actual mental state??
Because pink floyd was interviewed about syd barret and they even said he wasn't acting right before he even went on LSD. Why are you getting cautious? LSD can't be abused no matter how much you take because you can't overdose on it. Actually the definition of overdose means "over the dose of the recommendation of dosage". Let's say I recommend a friend of mine to take 50ug of LSD but he takes 100ug instead. He overdose on the recommendation of how much he should have taken.
and by saying he overdose on the recommendation of how much he should have taken , I mean it not by death. Overdose does not always mean you can die. It means you took "over" the dose of recommendation because there's a high chance of a bad trip. "and how do you now so much about barrett´s actual mental state??" I should ask you the same thing...
one more thing "you can never know what it does to such an unsayably complex mechanism as the brain" your right but what we do know is that the majority of people who took LSD did not have any problems later on or died. "there is a major difference between scientists using lsd and people ABusing it!" You see , the definition of abusing is "misuse: improper or excessive use". You can't misuse LSD as there's no possible way to do that or improperly use it.
@evilmario36 i took it myself, quite a FEW times, and it pretty affected me,- not negatively, but i had weeklong hangovers from a few little trips back then you know -- it all depends on the individual psyche as i said<<
When you say it can destroy your brain , your talking about acid... LSD is not actually acid as the word "acid" was a street name for LSD. One of the smartest mathematicians took LSD and DMT and they are very well educated and not insane. If you want to know what DMT is , it is a stronger hallucinogen drug than LSD , in fact not even comparable to LSD. Now you may think you don't want to take DMT but your body produces DMT when you go to sleep in order to "dream"
If there's any symbolism in Barrett's music, it's that the child like view of the world should never go away. I'm not a big fan of this Pink Floyd, but I'll never deny that Barrett was a genius in his own right.
@UltimatePineapple Lol yeah, I mean if it's inspired by LSD, there's probably not a lot in this song that makes sense, or can be taken to actually mean something....XD
I stole this from a lyrics page comments, but it says it perfectly:
Talking about the "Bike" it's a nice and childish way to convince a girl that you like her.. So it makes it simple and at the same time bizarre cause it's a grown up that is convincing the "girl" oferring her everything she wants. SYD = GENIUS
I couldn't believe my ears when this came on the local classic rock station that usually doesn't play any Barret-Era Floyd. People at work were looking at me like I was insane because I was rockin' out to this.
Wow. Really? "Black brat"? Had to lower yourself to the racism bit? "What are you implying? That you're more intelligent than me? I highly doubt that." Sounds like someone is a tad on the sensitive side. Get over yourself please. I made my point very clearly sans insults. Have enough respect for yourself to do the same. Glad that ForsakenTank saw what I was saying.
There was always meaning to to Syd's songs, especially the most simple ones. Check out Waters and Gilmour and the rest on what they have to say regarding this song and others written by Syd. The man was a profound genius. It's a shame that you people have to limit yourselves to take away any meaning from the song in order to enjoy it.
@UltimatePineapple personaly i feel like the parts where hes talking about bike and ginger bread mans and mice.is his lovely life then when it gets all tripy with YOUR THE KINDA OF GIRL THAT FITS IN WITH MY WORLD he refers to divine energy or a cosmic truth. idk alot of psycheldelic writers were into that kinda of stuff espacially with the help of some ACID:D

@valaurwen Of course your correct to a point. But to another point they did alot of drugs and im sure they Influenced some of there songs. Call me dumb but the whole song seems to be the cause of a drug trip not saying it has a greater meaning behind .
I totally agree, it could totally be just a rambling acid trip bit, but I just never understand why people always seem to feel the need to separate a song that has meaning behind it from a song that is for pure enjoyment. It seems that Syd was always combining the two. Fortunately for me I've never really thought to separate them.
@valaurwen Could not agree more half the enjoyment is from the meaning of the song, and that could be bright and cheery or meloncholy and dark. If a song makes you feel a certain way Its a win in my book. Nice debate very valid points im happy It was not a flame fest like most of the people feel like they have to have. Its like jees can't people have a intelligent discussion not drop the F bomb or insults every 5 secs.
I know what you mean -_-. The internet seems made of flames burned by trolls lol. People unfortunately don't have enough respect for themselves and others to have a simple discussion of opinions sans insult. Well one thing we can all happily agree upon, I hope, is that Syd was a tremendously beautiful mind - the sort that one often only gets the chance to read about in textbooks. Always great to "meet" an intelligent Barrett aficionado (who is also as young as I, lol)! Cheers :).
@valaurwen Yes I would agree, thanks for the comments it was fun reading and discussing them with you! Have a good one! (Also just think of everyone dressed in white at are age group, well we get to walk around dressed in whatever damn color we want. Its called opinion and being intelligent, and alot of are peers seem to have lost that skill.
The song shows how hope is carried as a battle flag through the predicament of man. The messenger, the carrier of that which breaks the illusion of passing time, is the player on the clockwork as we get to meet in the last verse. A whimsical landscape of arbitrary objects, sounds, names all entailed by the clock. As this profound reality is being unveiled another level of chaos unfolds. We meet the usual surroundings of gods: noise. The choir of revolt in the end tells us that we must slay them!
its hard not to appreciate the "musique concrète" of oscillating brilliance after the last verse. It definately shows off Syds genius and how it "fit into his world". Thank you for the post blestemp.
This is the first time I've heard this song. After hearing the lyrics I decided to try to figure out "WHOA MAN, WHAT COULD IT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAN???" the only thing I could think was.
"Poems everybody, poems. The boy fancies himself a poet!"
@thebooshismighty1 chillll. all i'm saying is that it sounds similar in the sense that of montreal use to have that older sound before they progressed. obviously pink floyd was around first so i don't even see why i'm explaining this.
ya think?????? it could, or maybe should be about a bike, i think!!! .... i borrowed it... mAYbe think if the world is going. going gone on a good trip kiss kiss lovely bliss
I got this C.D back in 1991 (P.A.T.G.O.D)...Yeah Sid Barrett Rocks,timeless crazy cool!...I remember cracking up laughing at the noises with my mates,Great Memories.Oh all you 26 fuckers better not like other Pink Floyd songs, cos if you dont like BIKE you cant like Pink Floyd!
Regardless of how you feel about the various incarnations of Pink Floyd, you've gotta admit that Syd Barrett's PF was alot more fun than Roger-Gilmour era Floyd (I'd argue they were more unique and innovative as well, but that's JMO). This song makes me smile so much :) Shine on, Syd!

@thebooshismighty1 chillll. all i'm saying is that it sounds similar in the sense that of montreal use to have that older sound before they progressed. obviously pink floyd was around first so i don't even see why i'm explaining this.

Regardless of how you feel about the various incarnations of Pink Floyd, you've gotta admit that Syd Barrett's PF was alot more fun than Roger-Gilmour era Floyd (I'd argue they were more unique and innovative as well, but that's JMO). This song makes me smile so much :) Shine on, Syd!
