My pretty oh oh prisoner
Tiny lights bob what star you from
She wants to fly and they think she's insane
But she knows what she know
Give that girl wings and that's all she wrote
I'm floating in the dark alone and
Is there any love out here let me know
Then through my body
As if Scotty's beaming up a wayward soul
Mutant races in an ancient universe
Dark shadows humans rhymin' in a raggae verse
I can see it as soon as you think it
On sidewalk malls
Psychic people outdoors reading palms
To survive the dimension if four
My pretty oh oh prisoner
Trapped in a world that's hurting
So bad it makes her cry
But I won't let her say good bye
I'm floating in the dark alone and } (2x)
Is there any love out here let me know }
No way (2x)
I believe this song is about divine consciousness being trapped in the physical plane, in human form.
It also seems to reference a future society, as reflected by the Burning Man festival (where people set up and live in domes, laser lights are everywhere, and streets with psychics). I wonder if the men from 311 have been to the playa.
I agree with your interpretation... Spirits stuck in the material world...

"trapped in material plane" I think is referring to the idea that we are souls that have come down and been trapped here I'm the 3rd dimension and this causes some problems for us on planet earth here.
Kind of like that Sting song "we are spirits trapped in the material world"
I Love The Chorus I The Whole Song But I Don't Kno What It Means Directly
This song is about being an enlightened individual wanting to escape the "material plane". Wanting to go to the fourth dimension, where thought and subjectivity take place of objects and set physics.

A beautiful song.

i think this songs about pasing thru the void going to the fourth dimension. the dome, our lightbody, is guided by angelic light pulling us upward out of the third to the fourth.... just my 2c
This is deffinently one of my favorite songs by 311. I think the song is about a girl thats traped in a world that hurts so bad it makes her cry. And she wants to accomplish great things but no one believes in her."She wants to fly and they think she's insane" I feel I can relate to this song a lot and 311 did a great job with it.
this was my favorite song off transistor until running grew on me. i think it's about trying to connect with people on a spiritual level, deeper (or perhaps higher?) than the materialistic and physical world in which we live.
have you ever done mushrooms? you dont think anything is real. and you know what you know. when you do shrooms you are in your own world. "floating in the dark alone" bad trip. "trip the shrooms fantastic, shit gets drastic.." its true. and then you become a prisoner to drugs.....
that, or a prisoner of this world, always wanting to be high instead. lol
i think this songs title pretty much self explanitory if you think about like your a prisoner to verything like somethins always trying to keep you down or confined hence the "I'm floating in the dark alone and Is there any love out here let me know' which means they feel alone is there any love out there
Very mellow and smooth. Like an aging whiskey almost.
