the "smoke" mushroom (royksopp in norwegian) is not a reference to taking drugs. the smoke mushroom is actually a puffball mushroom, which is edible and not hallucinogenic. the reason it "smokes" is because when the fruits go past the edible stage and mature, the mushroom is hollow and filled with millions of dusty spores that come billowing out in a puff of smoke when you step on it. http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/aug98.html |

| Röyksopp – What Else Is There? Lyrics | 15 years ago |

i think this is a lost love. she has just one wish, to be with a man she cannot have. she is jealous, and spies on him, and he doesn't see her because of the lights destroying his night vision. but he can't be with her because she is consumed by jealousy. she is the storm, the wonder of nature that would burst into fits of rage over any perceived infidelity. he couldn't take it and moved on. and she can't move on to someone else. and so, as you see in the video, she is going into decay. the fruit is molding. she is spilling her milk, losing her ability to bear children. she becomes a spinster, and wears the puritan collar of celibacy. the only thing left for her is spying, stalking, and saying spiteful things. it's a very sad song. loss compounded on loss, because she is stuck and can't move on. |
