i cant describe this feeling to the song
i like all their songs...but this one especially.
"You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go
Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows
The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue
It tastes like death but it looks like fun"

este grupo es bien bueno, pero le falta mas practica en los recitales... no suenan tan bien en vivo... pero en estudio son una joya.

its about lsd. cause like shaking a handshake and sealing the deal, once you put lsd on your tounge you should be ready to trip (:
hence i got the handshake on the tip of my tounge. and other refrences through out the song let on that its about lsd also

I saw these guys open for Pennywise and they were great.The lead guitarist kicks ass, he reminded me of Jerry Garcia with his improv,especially on this song.He added about 3 minutes of music to this song by himself...Awesome.
it's a double ... ( 22 hours ago by Saladin126)
it's a double entendre of a song, really... it's kind of about doing LSD to feel free, but also about "not selling out," in a sense. As if they're trying to say tripping makes you not interested in selling out, lol.
Just to throw it in there, the guys I know who call it handshake, make it every april in celebration of bicycle day. Their explanation for why they call it that is because LSD can be absorbed through the skin, and people used to dose people with a handshake.
