Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Kaleidoscope of love
Ophidians dance as the shifting occurs
We are stars and electric animals
Nurtured by the mothers of prostitutes
Floating in a mushroom universe
Swimming in a sea of cyclostomes
And as we surface through the tide
You open up and I come inside
I must be in limbo
‘Cos Purgatory’s always felt like home
And as the world spins round and round
We fornicate upon the cotton clouds
That rain down sulfur smiles
On the children at play in the poppy fields
Sinking for what seems like forever
Like Atlantis into the sea
To forget the shore and wash away
Wash away my memory
I must be in limbo
‘Cos Purgatory’s always felt like home
Inside the moon lives the high priest of the mushroom cult
Upon the altar are the ashes of the Pharisees
I sold my soul, sold my soul, sold my soul away
I’m free of guilt, free of sin, free of everything!
Inside the moon lives the high priest of the mushroom cult
Upon the altar are the ashes of the Pharisees
I sold my soul, sold my soul, sold my soul away
I’m free of guilt, free of sin, free of everything!
Ophidians dance as the shifting occurs
We are stars and electric animals
Nurtured by the mothers of prostitutes
Floating in a mushroom universe
Swimming in a sea of cyclostomes
And as we surface through the tide
You open up and I come inside
I must be in limbo
‘Cos Purgatory’s always felt like home
And as the world spins round and round
We fornicate upon the cotton clouds
That rain down sulfur smiles
On the children at play in the poppy fields
Sinking for what seems like forever
Like Atlantis into the sea
To forget the shore and wash away
Wash away my memory
I must be in limbo
‘Cos Purgatory’s always felt like home
Inside the moon lives the high priest of the mushroom cult
Upon the altar are the ashes of the Pharisees
I sold my soul, sold my soul, sold my soul away
I’m free of guilt, free of sin, free of everything!
Inside the moon lives the high priest of the mushroom cult
Upon the altar are the ashes of the Pharisees
I sold my soul, sold my soul, sold my soul away
I’m free of guilt, free of sin, free of everything!

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

hey knave you misspelled brain, you put my name instead, thanks! you should feed your brian at least 3 times a day. :) i think this fucking song is about smurfs, think about the title, mushroom cult... the smurfs were a group of ummm things that lived in mushrooms. and that LA LALA LALA LA LA LALA LALALALALA part sounds like something they would sing. yeah but the rest of the song doesnt fit so it probably is about shrooms.
