V.A.L.I.S. Lyrics
When in motion
While it's frozen
Talks in circles
And Greek
He's into epiphany
He's into philosophy
He's into methyl amphetamines
He's into science
But he's lost his way
Oh oh
He is not the real me
But I can hear I can hear I can hear I can hear him
From my future
Show show show show me
Show show show show me
You got to show me the way
You got to show me the way
Oh the present
A super impulse
He has seen this
Before
He's into conspiracy
He's into the theophany
He's into phenomenology
He's into deeds
He don't mix his words
Oh oh
He is not the real me
But I can hear I can hear I can hear I can hear him
From my future
Show show show show me
Show show show show me
You gotta show me the way
While it's frozen
Talks in circles
And Greek
He's into philosophy
He's into methyl amphetamines
He's into science
But he's lost his way
He is not the real me
But I can hear I can hear I can hear I can hear him
From my future
Show show show show me
Show show show show me
You got to show me the way
Oh the present
A super impulse
He has seen this
Before
He's into the theophany
He's into phenomenology
He's into deeds
He don't mix his words
He is not the real me
From my future
Show show show show me
You gotta show me the way

Official lyrics
When in motion World is frozen Talks in circles and Greek He’s into epiphany He’s into philosophy He’s into methyl amphetamines He’s into science But he’s lost his way He’s not the real me, but I can hear I can hear, I can hear him From my future
Show, show, show show me You gotta show me the way
Past and present Are superimposed He has seen this before He’s into conspiracy He’s into theophany He’s into phenomenology He’s into deeds He don’t mix his words He’s not the real me, but I can hear I can hear, I can hear him From my future
Show, show, show show me You gotta show me the way
Seeing as Philip K. Dick himself was addicted to meth, I'm pretty sure this song is about him
Something to do with Philip K. Dick, because V.A.L.I.S is the name of one of his books
He's into the? = Theophany
I think it's about how a lot of us try to show/claim we're into things that are highbrow or popular, but really we're just organic beings that have very basic desires and needs(the 'real' me).
Or maybe it's just Kele's interpretation of how Philip K. Dick really felt.
