MANTRA Lyrics
Do you wanna start a cult with me?
I'm not vibrating like I ought to be
I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing
Through this existential misery
Now we're gonna need some real estate
But if I choose my words carefully
Think I could fool you that I'm the guru
Wait, how do you spell epiphany?
Before the truth will set you free, it will piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
Could I have your attention, please?
It's time to tap into your tragedy
Think you could use a new abuser
Close your eyes and listen carefully
Imagine you're stood on a beach
Water gently lapping at your feet
And now you're sinking, what were you thinking?
That's all the time we have this week
Before the truth will set you free, it will piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense
But do you really wanna think all by yourself now?
All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith
You know it's easy to believe
And I know this doesn't make a lot of sense
You know you gotta work the corners of your mind now
All I'm asking for's a little bit of faith
You know it's easy to, so easy to believe
Before the truth will set you free, it will piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Before the truth will set you free, it will piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
I'm not vibrating like I ought to be
I need a purpose, I can't keep surfing
Through this existential misery
Now we're gonna need some real estate
But if I choose my words carefully
Think I could fool you that I'm the guru
Wait, how do you spell epiphany?
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra
It's time to tap into your tragedy
Think you could use a new abuser
Close your eyes and listen carefully
Imagine you're stood on a beach
Water gently lapping at your feet
And now you're sinking, what were you thinking?
That's all the time we have this week
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one

Before the truth will set you free, it will piss you off
Before you find a place to be, you're gonna lose the plot
Too late to tell you now, one ear and right out the other one
Cause all you ever do is chant the same old mantra

The lyrics of “Mantra” focus on a number of subject matters, mostly on how human beings unfortunately devote their lives to following others blindly. This of course often leads them to very unpalatable & even tragic situations (Jonestown Massacre for example). Aside the subject of religious indoctrination, the lyrics also touch on issues ranging from betrayal to deceit to misery.
I can relate to this... wanting for a purpose. Wanting to be a con man, or to be somebody's else's con man.
We who see the truth tend to piss others off. But what if we point that laser sharp eye at yourself?
