I think Jimi Hendrix was writing term papers when he wrote Purple Haze. Observe such snippets as:
Purple haze all around (blurring vision from so much researching and writing)
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down (like his GPA, y'know?)
Am I happy or in misery? (Not sure if he really likes his degree)
Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh (succumbing to unconciousness after being awake for 98 hours straight)
Don’t know if it’s day or night (do these papers ever end?)
You got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind (as in, blowing his brains out with a gun)
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time? (I don't think I'll ever finish this research/paper/course/degree)
I feel your pain man. Keep it real.
Time for another cup of hot chocolate. w00t!
