It was that "we will walk through the fire" one. But I know when I wrote it down, when I was tripping, in my head I was writing down the meaning of life and the universe and the nature of consciousness. Acid is weird. I never did it again, it's not that it wasn't (mostly) enjoyable per-se, it's just I was so relieved when I woke up the next day and everything had stopped moving.

Edit: Just for a nostalgic laugh, for any of you who've never taken acid, here are a few bits I vaguely remember from my trip (was about 20 years ago now):

  1. At one point, I believed I'd become a cartoon character. The whole world looked to me like a quite crudely drawn, 2D Family Guy style animation.

  2. For a while, people's faces were morphing in to long, rat-like features and it looked like they were laughing at me in a very sinister way. I didn't enjoy that part.

  3. I was a genie for a while too. Like, I wanted a sandwich and suddenly I had one and I was eating it. No sense of any time passing or any memory of doing anything between wanting a sandwich and having it in front of me. I realised I'd run out of cigarettes, then suddenly boom a fresh pack of cigarettes were in my hand. I named my genie self Barok the Great.

  4. In a later part of my trip, I experienced going and making the sandwich, just completely out of place in time. Like splicing a video in the wrong order or something, only that's what I actually experienced.

  5. I could see sound waves coming out of speakers. That was really cool. And you can just be looking at a wall or something and it just melts and blends and becomes the coolest looking kaleidoscope thing, or something like that. The visuals are a very unique experience.

  6. Trails. If you ever do take acid, you'll 100% have this happen. You move your hands and you just see an after image of your fingers, like a duplicate, trailing for a few seconds.

  7. It can be bad too. My trip eventually went a bit sour, I can't remember why but I had some negative thought and it just manifested in some way and I remember I really wanted the trip to end and to just sober up but I couldn't. That's the downside of acid, once you're in, you're in for as long as it lasts and it lasts a long time.

  8. The mental part. People don't often talk about this bit but it's not just hallucinations and weird philosophical thoughts and feelings, when you come up it feels like you've done about 20 bong hits back to back. It's intense. That bit does seem to mellow out later though.

I did it once and can attest to a few of these things.

When it first kicked in I was about half way through a song, laying on the lounge. It felt like I had sunken into the lounge and was stuck. The song felt like it was playing from 3 speakers inside my head, but all were playing at different volumes, timings, and speeds.

I have a couple freckles on my arm, which were bouncing and jumping off my skin like fleas.

My friend had a yellowish light in the corner of his room, but it was changing colours from green - orange - yellow.

We also had some universe solving thoughts. I wrote down "Life is a 360° tug of war". I kinda remember what I meant but like wtf. Lots of other stuff we "came to realise" that isn't worth mentioning because when you sober up its just stupid, lol.

It started to lightly rain about half way through, and standing out in it felt really good for some reason lol. So did eating sour/bitter foods, made me see heaps of vivid colours and stuff like my senses were blended. I could see what pineapple tasted like.

When I was outside at one point, it started going bad and I just felt like my chest was tight and I was freaking out, not even sure why. I went back inside after about 10 minutes of freaking, and just went back to normal.

Going to bed at like 5am, after it was wearing off I became slightly paranoid and heard footsteps in the hallway and knocking at the window, even though no one was there. I'm not sure if I would do it again, but it was fun for the most part.

And now that’s stuck in my head. It’s going to be on the adhd radio until another song gets stuck. I once had it stuck for a few weeks. Lol.
