	Even without the lyrics it's still an amazing instrumental. Beautiful, quiet, pensive.

	well, dramamine is used in dimenhydrinate, which is a crystalline antihistaminic compound (C24H28ClN5O3) used especially to prevent nausea. i think he's talking about a girl and how she makes him sick or he's sick because the relationship isn't working out, so he's "travelling, swallowing dramamine". that's just my two cents. :)

	Everytime I hear this song I get psuedo-flashbacks to Dramamine trips (NEVER TRY IT), it seems to me that the song is comparing a Dramamine trip (NEVER EVER TRY IT) to a relationship. A lot of the lyrics he uses in the song describes a Dramamine trip well: "Feeling spaced breathing out listerine I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya" "I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean But I still can't focus on anything" Those lyrics describe perfectly what a Dramamine trip is like, you can't focus, you get paranoid, and you have your own alternate reality and get pissed at people for not understanding it. I think the song is relating this experience in some ways to a relationship--a lack of understanding, an inability to focus, being pissed for someone not understanding. Final thoughts: Never ever, ever take Dramamine for the purpose of getting high, it really, really fucks with your head and makes you dumb.

	This song is more about what the first two posters said, its about the different up and down motions of a relationship. (hence needing the anti motion sickness drug dramamine)
