(don’t miss the Carlton Easter egg 🪺)

🌺 Poppies

they do grow in Indiana (we checked)

and they grow indoor, in a psychologist’s office…

we saw them even in a Cali sequence too!

poppies is The Wizard of Oz “sleepy” reference, but also they are the source of opiates (drugs)

Common Side Effects

by Finn Wolfhard

CG people stay with me there’s a reason I tagged this

I can't feel it fully Or anything that's in between

I am sinking slowly And soon I'd rather just hang it

I saw the light And the light is blinking(?) in and out Of my room Until the final time I finish and go back to bed

I took boomers Just to feel like George Clooney After dinner I walk home amid some pain again

Turn on commercials And flush with water Watch for common side effects

I feel drowsy Aggressive, angry Difficulty with speaking

Excitation Hives, itching or a rash Loss of pleasure Shaking, acute restlessness With some paleness and some nightmares and a higher risk of death

I feel better I feel better

Transcribed from promo for the CD and merch.

Notes:

Boomers is apparently slang for LSD which is why I settled for it (George Clooney apparently did quite some drugs back in the day)

I can’t figure out that one line after “Turn on commercials” for the life of me, but I did learn that there’s an animated series called Common Side Effects that’s about drugs, so I feel like it might be a reference to that show [edit: I think it might say "And flush with water" so I've changed it to that]

Pretty sure the ‘light’ lines refer to smoking (weed)?

The very last two lines might also be a repetition of the ‘I feel drowsy’, but visually it looks more like ‘better’ to me

edit: the 'blinking' could also be 'clinking' or 'clicking', but it doesn't really change the meaning anyways

So now for the CG truthers of us (just ignore this part otherwise): It’s a song about drugs… Referencing a show about drugs, more specifically mushrooms with healing effects that big pharma and the government try to keep secret. Do with that what you will — #trippygate?

higher than I thought you are…

Cerebro- is a prefix derived from the Latin cerebrum meaning "brain," used in medical terminology to connect words to the brain or nervous system.
