Hmm, again I think it could be the contrast. Reed's work was always the more macabre and downbeat, extending to his solo career. When you consider what he wrote in 'The Gift' and 'Sister Ray', I think Reed always was the menacing part of VU.
Speaking of 'Godiva', its interesting to note the approaches in their vocal contributions. Cale sings it somewhat sweetly and innocently, whereas Reed chimes in menacingly, almost yelling 'Sweetly!' (of all words), and Reed's vocals in general are abrasive.

This clearly inspired Drunk Girls by LCD Soundsystem.

great song and a great slide show. Rip to lou reed,nico,sterling morrison and andy warhol. The velvet underground one of my favorite bands of that era.

The song is about injecting amphetamines. I'm not sure where your confusion arises. The lyrics are straight forward. He's describing the effects the drug has on him, "White light, it's gonna drive me insane." Further describing the effects, perhaps of too much amphetamines manifesting itself in a stimulant psychosis, "Sputter mutter everybody gonna go kill their mother." As for it perhaps being figurative, you could see white light as representing overindulgence in any number of activities.

god bless john cale and his experimental edge. without him the velvet's first records wouldn't have been more than good rock and roll albums (as you can see after his departure)

A day without Lou Reed is a like a day without overcast skies

Also take into account Reed's quote about his 'Metal Machine Music' album - '[its the only record I know that attacks the listener]'!
I think Cale was openly experimental with music, whereas Reed was entirely subversive, with deceptively 'upbeat' tunes.
His lyrics were always the real recesses of VU. I think that Cale wrote music that could be interpreted as dark, but was generally a milder personality, whereas Reed wrote subversive pop tunes because he was the real vampire of VU. Haha.

I love how this always makes me think of the New York Dolls. Loose and dangerous.
Randy Karnell
I love how shabby it is, like it was poorly recorded in someone's basement

When I first heard this album I listened to it 6 times in a row, and twice a day ever since. It is and always will be my favorite album of all time.

I'm reminded of Ray Manzarek's line in the movie The Doors (at a Warhol/Underground party):
"Come on Jim, this isn't our scene, these people are vampires."
Tyreese Smith
Lou Reed the coolest guy in the rock history :)

I have a bad habit of bursting out, “Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit. It was now mid-August...,” once the song ends.
Maurisio Gomez
Lou Reed is my spirit animal, absolutely
Таня Кузнец
iggy pop-funtime

First thing I did when I got to Uni in Manchester in 1971, go to Pandemonium Records on Oxford Rd and buy this album. One month later, saw the band (Yule and Tucker, anyway) for 55p.
Them were t'days!
