Are you missing us
maybe wanting to be kissing us
and if you must, please don’t be dismissing us
and when we’re gone, bailin' on the bus
Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
loosing yourself in the flavor of the month
gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
gotta be a better reason man’s come so far
Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea
is that you in this dream as see waving at me
closer with one hand, while the other shields your eyes
as if surprised to see the universe begin
Being up on the mindspin
are you still glad that it has been
six years and seven months
this is want you want, don’t front
I’m feelin’ it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span
Keeps things whole
we move out of the space where air flows
when all of a sudden
here we are, and here we go
The evolutionary mind
turns twist backflips
in space-time the continuum
real-life planetarium
It’s a natural fact
time is speeding up there isn’t much left
heart rate increasing
bustin' through your chest, compressed
Is your life in the physical
but out of memory
comes a vision which is a miracle
yeah, that
Normally we just can’t see
it’s not natural or typical
of our same old thing
livin' too fast, unable to grasp the past
or the future when at last we ripple
after our big splash
Being up on the mindspin
are you still glad that it has been
six years and seven months
this is want you want, don’t front
I’m feelin’ it right now
in this, the gold hour
part clock and part man
reconciling my life span
You remain
and refrain
from the pain
of wasted time
last thing on my mind is
running high
fuel supply
reason why
we just don’t quit
can you get with
a melding of two minds
what's the worst thing you could find
a paper trail
that prevails
in demystification
people
want to believe
in mysteries
people
want to believe
in mysteries
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?
is the truth so bad?

First of all i want to say that this is my favorite 311 song because of the crucial lyrics and drum technique (im a drummer myself), and also because it doesnt get enough attention. ---What I think this song is trying to say is that we as society are always ready to jump to the next stage of technology, that will enhance our environment and surroundings. And we do it so fast that we dont stop to try and realize how we have come so far since the beginning of time and creation, and instead of looking for practical terms of our advancement, many times we look for or "believe in mysteries" that we think are out there that will explain our advancement as society. When really the truth is right there , but we dont want that because its not fascinating enough to our minds eye. Is the truth so bad??? Talk to me online about it, XC8316 , is my screen name. And absorb 311 every day!
late, but happy! =)

I think your comment was well thought out and is right on with what 311 is trying to convey in this song. I give you a thumbs up.

the chorus is kickass.....
dude what i get out of it is that 311 is saying science absolutely proves certian things about our lives and why we are here yet people still believe in mythological bullshit to explain things. why? they know the truth, is it so bad?
I think this song is about a bunch of crazy things going on all at once in your life and the mix of emotions it can cause.
sounds good cheese. Wish the whole song was hard like the beggining.
Well the change in tempo in the song shows 311's diversity of style, plus it resembles "the mix of emotions" that Cheese311 mentioned
I love the ending.
Nick Hexum said it himself at the Fox Theatre concert in December that "Mindspin," to him, means that you can be a spiritual person without being religious...but then he said make your own interpretations.
I believe this song is about the dimensional shift in conciousness thats currently undergoing right now on planet earth.... "its a natural fact. time is speeding up. there isnt much left. heart race increasing.." ..I believe were coming to a point in history where we will evolve once again. Theres alot more to explain in this song but i cant put it all into words right now..
"..evolutionary mind.." "..a melding of two minds.." ..were starting to think differently and alot is going on within us that we cant understand.. im sure some people understand what im sayin.. ;)
I LOVE HOW IT ENDS
this song means a lot of things, i think how you interpret it shows a lot about you :)
i think of it as just living in the moment
