Hallucinations are a common side effect to taking shrooms.

Eminem is explaining to the kids that if they take shrooms it will seem as if everything is moving very slowly and they might begin to have an acid trip.

This sparks the curiosity of the kids, causing one of them to belch out asking what types of things he’d see.

Marijuana has no reputation to cause something like this, but it is a reference to how people make weed sound worse than it is, especially those in the education system. Bob is a sick individual but weed is getting blamed when it should not. much how Eminem was blamed for Columbine by some for his violent music when his music didn’t really have that effect, it was simply two mentally unstable kids.

Cam Meekins is talking about those days where one does not want to leave their bed because they are scared of what the day may bring. Sometimes, people can be scared of the outside world and the troubles of what could happen to them and thus would prefer to stay in an area that they associate with safety.

This could also relate to the idea of taking risks versus doing the safe thing to do as we associate our bed with safety from a young age when we use it to “hide from monsters”. Also, Cam is most likely associating his bed with dreams versus the real world of harsh reality once he leaves his bed.

TRIPLE ENTENDRE!

The incredible amount of time that Cam spends thinking keeps him up at night and therefore greatly interferes with his life.

#Double Meaning:

  • Cam wants to escape all of the problems in his life by simply flying away above the world so that he doesn’t have to deal with it all anymore. It’s similar to running away from your problems, but Cam wants to escape quicker than running, feel care-free as he escapes, and get as far away from his problems as he can.

  • Also, some of his problems are the world in general thus he would need to fly in order to escape these problems.
