Lose my head to the chemical freeway
Comin' up on overload
In a mystic new dimension
Purify and sanctify me
What so I'm in no end game
Move my piece right off the board
Losing sure is easy
So I am no more
But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway
In my head I'm a chemical dreamer
Speed up to burn out mode
Comin' up in the 5th dimension
Beautify don't crucify me, yeah
So I need no mind game poisoning my lonely soul
Losing sure is easy so I am no more
But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
And I take over, 'cause I'm no loser
And I'm in and you're not, bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up, a Cosmic Castaway
A Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
And I want but have not
Bad dreams, lust thoughts
In here with no pain, you hurt me again
And I want but have none
I should beat the alien
But here I'm no one, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway
Comin' up on overload
In a mystic new dimension
Purify and sanctify me
What so I'm in no end game
Move my piece right off the board
Losing sure is easy
So I am no more
But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway
In my head I'm a chemical dreamer
Speed up to burn out mode
Comin' up in the 5th dimension
Beautify don't crucify me, yeah
So I need no mind game poisoning my lonely soul
Losing sure is easy so I am no more
But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
And I take over, 'cause I'm no loser
And I'm in and you're not, bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up, a Cosmic Castaway
A Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
And I want but have not
Bad dreams, lust thoughts
In here with no pain, you hurt me again
And I want but have none
I should beat the alien
But here I'm no one, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
For those of you that don't know, this song is off the Titan A.E. soundtrack. I know that it sort of goes with the theme of the movie but I was wondering if someone could give me their opinion of the meaning of the song. Thanks a bunch. Later, Rev
this song rocks. anybody who says otherwise, well u suck. rock on...
haven't heard it in years... didn't like it so much the first time around but now i'm absolutely loving it. a real shame the band hasn't been able to continue putting stuff out.
you know, i was thinking about this song. and the verses give me the impresion of someone on an acid trip
"lose my head to the chemical free way" "i'm a chemical dreamer"
but i think its more about him striving for something, probably after someone, but then giving up on it...
but hell, what do i know.
i think that this song is talking about being lost in the world "In a mystic new dimension" and then like kinda being a kid you know like at 18 when you get a taste of the real world "But I'm not broken, in my dream I win In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway" and how some people can get lost and feel like your a drop in the ocean
It's "lost thoughts".
Certainly about being lost in an existence of cosmic influence and uncontrollable change; dreaming of heroism but drowned in inanity. Very fitting to the movie. And definitely the best song out of Electrasy.
I second the "lost thoughts" line.
that movie was awesome, i saw it again like 2 days ago and found it to be just as awesome as it was back when it first came out (i was like 12).
anyway, i think it may be about being alone in general and depressed and the term "cosmic castaway" just emphasizes the feeling of isolation that the subject is feeling (having the cosmos between you and everyone else). as for the chemical references, it could just be talking about medication (like antidepressants)
just my 2 cents
I think he's talking about getting high, probably on some kind of psychedelic drug, and seeing himself from two different perspectives.
He talks about a "chemical freeway", then shifts into talking from the perspective of a higher consciousness and loss of self ("So I am no more").
Then he starts talking about how this experience is different than his usual dreams. In his dreams he wins, but his experience showed him that he's "nothing". He talks about how his typical thoughts harm him (crucifying and poisoning him), but his experience showed him how pointless all of that is.
He also talks about how his experience has shielded him from the harm of others, and from desire. I think "beat the alien" might be a reference to him wishing to get rid of his other state of mind and live in the nothingness of that higher state.
Y'all sound like a bunch of bickering children. Do you really not get the meaning of this song? It's so obvious to me it pains me to write this. This is a story of a man who has lost complete faith with the world. He escapes into drugs and to fantasy so that he doesn’t have to deal with the pain of his real life. In his fantasy, he can be anyone – but yet he knows that he’s no-one – they’re just his thoughts He’s what you might call “too smart for his own good”. His own intelligence is the trigger that started his road to madness. He laments that he has power over nothing, and longs for all this to be over, but he can’t bring himself to kill himself, so he continues to play the game reluctantly. He’s a mess. He boasts that “I’m in, you’re not” suggesting that he understands more than anyone else, but then he crumbles “Bad dreams won’t stop” – he’s gone too far. Too far to come back. And he knows it. He’s caught in a self-destructive loop, and he can’t escape – not without help.
