This reminds me of the time me and some friends took LSD at a zoo.

We ended up realising we were way more fascinated by the signs than any of the animials.

Then ended up hysterically laughing when we realised that we were at a zoo mesmerised by everything but the things we planned to be mesmerised by

Signs are quite potent signals, static objects designed to inform and direct. It's only by long habituation that we ignore their power. I'm not at all surprised that they captured your attention!
Harry Nilson once took LCD and realized when looking at the trees that they all ended in points. They are points on points and that was the point.

This was the inspiration for his part story album "The Point".
