about

"Turn on" meant go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. Become sensitive to the many and various levels of consciousness and the specific triggers that engage them. Drugs were one way to accomplish this end. "Tune in" meant interact harmoniously with the world around you - externalize, materialize, express your new internal perspectives. "Drop out" suggested an active, selective, graceful process of detachment from involuntary or unconscious commitments. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity" –Timothy Leary

lyrics

Blind, you shut out what you can't take.
Hide from your regrets, go numb, become displaced.
And run to the water’s edge, they'll meet you there.
You'll draw pictures in the sand of all the times from when you didn't care.
Grow up, remain in safety living in the crowd.
Grow old, refraining from the life you want to call your own.
Don't close your eyes off to the world surrounding.
All too often we die feeling that we have died alone.
Don't die alone.
So run to the water’s edge, I'll meet you there.
But I refuse to look back.
The nights call us as we watch them pass.
Do not live life in fear of the end because you did not savor your breath.
Don't close your eyes off to the world surrounding.
All too often we die feeling that we have died alone.
And I can't imagine anything worse than watching it go,
As I verse on what I should have done.
I vow to never waste another rising sun.
And I can't imagine anything worse than wasting eternity
Waiting for others to decide for me.
I ask of you all, whose life are you living out?

“I’m just saying, you only get one life. There’s no god, no rules, no judgments except for those you accept or create for yourself. And once it’s over, it’s over. Dreamless sleep forever and ever.”

So I'm asking of you now, how long will you live in doubt?
Turn On. Tune In. Drop Out.
So I’m asking of you now, whose life will we live out?
Turn On. Tune In. Drop Out.
