The title is a twist on a Joseph Campbell quote (if you google my title, you'll find the OG quote). It's long been a favorite of mine as a longtime enthusiast of deliberately triggered mystical experiences. When I fed it to the #AIOracle, it spit out this magnificent bastard, and it felt predestined that this was going to Be An Important One for the album.

Honestly, the "acid" elements ended up pretty low in the mix, relatively speaking, and too murky/weird to be actual "acid" so it's not terribly important. In any case, by the time I was this far into the song I had a pretty good idea what it was going to be/what image I'd pair it with. The title is a phrase I've been working on/with for a while, and it generated such a great image I knew it would be on the album.

I ended up generating way more good images/titles than I could possibly use on the album (45+ at this point) so I essentially had a lot of direction/framing without songs attached yet, and a song that I had abandoned because it lacked a clear direction or narrative framing to guide it to the finish line... A nice fit.
