Disassociative Lyrics
I can tell you what they say in space;
that our Earth is too grey.
But when the spirit is so digital,
the body acts this way.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
The nervous system's down, the nervous system's down,
and I know...
The nervous system's down, the nervous system's down,
and I know...
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
Sometimes we walk like we were shot
through our heads, my love.
We write a song in space like we
are already dead and gone.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
The nervous system's down. The nervous system's down.
The nervous system's down. The nervous system's down.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
that our Earth is too grey.
But when the spirit is so digital,
the body acts this way.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
and I know...
The nervous system's down, the nervous system's down,
and I know...
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
through our heads, my love.
We write a song in space like we
are already dead and gone.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
That world was killing me, world was killing me.
Disassociative.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
The nervous system's down. The nervous system's down.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.
I can never get out of here.
Don't wanna just float in fear.
Dead astronaut in space.

i think this song is describing the state of the world we have come to, by bieng so materialistic and less in faith of our own beliefs what ever they may be.Also lonliness kills the mind like a cancer bec. of the way some societies imbarge on a person. so in conclusion i say to anyone feelling shung out of the world to embrace this song!!!
everybody needs to stop with this bullshit, ohh its not about drugs blahblah, i only listen to MM when im loaded and i gota tell you unless your loaded on drugs your not goin to be able to describe this music. when i listen to all of his music i do it after ive had absinthe or something he would have consumed prior to writing these songs, its not the meaning hes conveing its the emotional response hes lookin for. Trust Me. get loaded up on some drugs, drink some absinthe kick back and enjoy the felling you get. plus...

Spot on Creaper. You might thoroughly enjoy reading Richard Stiver's "Shades of Loneliness: Pathologies of a Technological Society". Interestingly, your comment predates the 2004 publication of his book which share your general thesis.

according to a good friend of mine, this song is about a bad trip on that Special K stuff. apparently the entire album was, in part, influenced by it.
Disclaimer: Never do drugs, stay in school. Just say "no"..... Listen to this song while on K or DXM, after that it will make more sense. Infact, while most of the album uses drugs metaphoricly, it makes more sense and is more profound while under the influence of various drugs.
I always thought I was the only one who connected DXM with this song.
This song is using a ketamine trip as a metaphor for the way he feels. K is a disassociative anaesthetic, hence the name. There lyrics involving space, and astronauts are refering to the effects of the drug, which make you feel dissociated from your body, and floating above it. They call this feeling 'Space Travel'
I believe it can be interpreted this way, and that Manson would probably agree.

This is one of the 7 songs on the album that are about Omega's personal side. It is about his life in "space", or HOLY WOOD, and he feels like he can't leave their because of his fame and money. Yet he hates it there, and wishes he could get out of there.
I know what this song is about, i personally ask Marilyn the other day when i found him in the bathroom in a restaurant in L.A., he stopped to explain very nicely, I guess because I did not ask for an autograph, he prefers that make you the talk rather than be asked for an autograph and idolize him, well he also likes that, he is a diva, but has become something more condescending with good conversationalists, well he tell me that he was talking about the serious problem which represents a polluted blogsphere and virtual discussions in the air,...

I think that this song is about being in a coma and not wanting to wake from it. The whole Mechanical animals cd has to do with drugs and life esp. comas
I really don't see where everyone gets "drugs" out of Mechanical Animals. Certainly drugs are used, but I'd always viewed them as symbolic of something else, or used to stimulate imagery.
Anyway, I'd thought that this song was supposed to be the beginning of Omega's regression from reality, following is realization that "Rock Is Dead" and that he was nothing more than a star in corporate music's "dope show." (i.e., the previous tracks).
this is his best song, methinks
