Mystery of the Brain Lyrics

snap out of it,
make a dash for it,
it's all in your head.
it's all in your head.

tip-toe up close enough to taste the weather...
we meant to get our feet wet,
but instead in we dove in our clothes and soaked from head to toe.

a blueish green,
silver glistening,
paint splattered past where the shadows casted...
we're drifting.
we're drifting.

Great song and band, definitely needs more comments and fans.

Personally, lyrics seem very left open to interpretation.

First section for me is telling people to throw away the mental blocks they have in their lives and go for their dreams. The barriers are just in your head.

Second part is about diving in head first instead of taking it careful. When you are passionate about something, you seem to throw inhibitions away and go in full force.

Last part is once you are in the water just drifting where it takes you. You don't have as much control as you think, but the lyrics describe the environment as beautiful. There is even paint past the shadows.
