No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#1 by scotty 2 hotty at Nov 24, 1984 at 12:16 PM EST
	As www.phish.com posted an official memo from Trey announcing the end of Phish, this song finally makes sense. We should have seen it coming. Trey claimed he had been feeling the band was burning out and didn't want to push it, but rather accept it and move on before they became a "nostalgia act." These thoughts are probably the demons he refers to that "dance in his head" In this song, he acknowledges that fan base that Phish has accumulated ("a thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn"), but then also shows desire to leave the band ("waiting for the time I can finally say that this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way.") The lyrics then go on to express his anxiety that he can not escape the band, the fans "step on his rhythm" and "steal all his lines." He just wants "go on his way..." RIP Phish, I will love you forever.

No Picture Mauricio Wanna Be	#2 by Mauricio Tonon at May 20, 1986 at 7:03 PM EST
	Scarletbegonian has some good ideas, but I disagree. The lyrics are written by Tom Marshall, not Trey. The song itself was released on the Hoist album, which came out in the early 90's. At this time, Phish was fairly successful and the band was touring like crazy, it is unlikely that Trey had these feelings yet. Rather, it seems to me that the song is simply about being sick. Most of the lines are clever metaphors for what it feels like to have a headache, and to be ready to get better, trying to psych yourself out of being ill, but finding that you just have to wait it out.

No Picture edwin Wanna Be	#3 by edwin henrriquez at Mar 25, 1989 at 3:14 AM EST
	I think this song could be about depression or some other mental stress someone is trying to deal with. Basically you can't overcome the thoughts in your head and you can't make it go away. It overwhelms your life and even things you can easily do are being disturbed. You think about how great it would be to tell those thoughts goodbye and move on.
