===== 4. Psychedelic Themes: Ego Death and Transformation =====

From a psychedelic perspective, both Fidgety Queen and Little Boy deal with transformation and loss of innocence—key themes in psychedelic experiences.
* Psychedelics often lead to an ego-death experience, where one questions identity, time, and reality.
* The transition from a "little boy" to a "young man grown older" could represent the dissolution of the self.
* The "makeup" could symbolize the false self or the many faces people wear in life.

The Down to Earth album itself plays with circus and performance themes, making both songs part of a larger narrative about the illusions we construct, the performances we adopt, and the difficulty of reconciling identity with expectation.
