Supersonic Lyrics
Well am I making haste or could it be haste is making me
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in
I gotta go faster
Keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race
I could go supersonic
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate
Into oblivion
Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan
Now here I go again
everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change
My deeds are senseless
and rendered meaningless
When measured in that vein
I could go supersonic
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivion
I won't lie
it's exciting
When I try
to decide things
I just want to live
decently
meaningfully
I'm in misery
I could I go supersonic
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in
I gotta go faster
Keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate
Into oblivion
Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan
everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change
My deeds are senseless
and rendered meaningless
When measured in that vein
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivion
it's exciting
When I try
to decide things
I just want to live
decently
meaningfully
I'm in misery
the problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it
When I need to sate
I just accelerate into oblivion
Into oblivi yah yah yah yah yah yah yan

There is more to life than increasing its speed. - Mahatma Gandhi
i think it's about everyones lives becoming centered around trying to keep up with the society we live in
It's about struggling to maintain one's humanity and authenticity in a modern world.
yeah its about trying to strenously manage your life in the modern technological world we live in today.
The harmony on the bridge pretty much sums up this song.
pace setters, go getters rat racers, forgetters researchers, berserkers strategies to help the workers new time saving devices quick vices, no crisis brevity dependency digital efficiency
I think people are looking at this song too deeply.
Supersonic is a song about a Blue hedgehog collecting all the Chas Emeralds, and becoming... Super Sonic. In the song he mentions how fast he wants to go.
Obviously this song is about Sonic the Hedgehog.
I think the song is about giving into emotions.. be it anger, fear, love, greed. basic strong emotions. To me its about being fully aware of your emotions but not letting them rule your life
I figured it was about an addiction. Like, he gets so used to living so fast he can't slow down again. Also look at the lines Tell me does life exist beyond it and I won't lie it's exciting
im not sure, but the addiction idea might be right. its known brett had a drug problem. "when i need to sate" can be seen as sating your addiction, "...into oblivion" oblivion could be a reference to the high "when measured in the vein" is perhaps a more obvious to IV drug use
personally, i think the song could be about addiction, as a response to the horror of the modern world. "i just want to live decently, meaningfully..." suggests shame at using drugs as an escape. the song isnt an excuse for drug abuse, but just says why people turn to it
Well, chemical halo, I'm here to help!
I saw them at Reading a couple of days ago and they played this song. It rocked very hard.
