I Am The Cosmos Lyrics

Cover art for I Am The Cosmos lyrics by Chris Bell

When you're down in the dumps I think it's common practice to try and build yourself up with some positive statements. For Chris Bell he calls himself the cosmos. However, the song also goes on to say how it doesn't help much, because he's still alone and weak and doesn't know what to do.

So basically it's about how internalizing to yourself and building yourself up is ultimately hollow because what's going on in your life still sucks. It's a pretty down message, illustrated in his cries of 'I never wanna be alone' and his inability to figure out whether he ever wants to see this person again: 'I really wanna see you again'...next line...'I never wanna see you again'.

This is one confused bastard.

@mrpieeater He actually says "I know I wanna see you again" not "never wanna" one of those last times after "I really wanna see you again." Unless it's suddenly changed Berenstein Bears-style, which is always possible in this crazy world.
