God and Mars (Album version) Lyrics

Cover art for God and Mars (Album version) lyrics by Days Away

the entire album is about tripping.

"mapping an invisible world" as in keith's best possible description of a psychdelic experience a.k.a. "the other world"

I'll point out some examples in this song alone

"I can't get my mind to stop running" when tripping your mind moves rapidly through many different thought processes

"I'm in a better place don't take this and turn it around. I've had enough don't speak don't make a sound" also, psychdelic experiences allow you to go to a better place in your mind without leaving where you are. for instance myself and 2 of my bandmates sat in a white room and experiences shared mind and we all went to various places in our minds and somehow miraculously we all described the same place.

anyway, your ears are EXTREMELY sensitive when tripping. don't speak don't make a sound because sometimes you want absolute quiet to literally hear everything existing

"I'm thinking that this isn't real, but I'm not concerned" tripping is very surreal. everything blows your mind because it seems so extraordinary. the joy it brings makes you not concerned, however.

"your lips keep moving but you're saying nothing" jet lagging. you see people talking, you hear it and know the words but sometimes you can't quite fit them together into sentences.

all this may seem ridiculous, it's hard to explain. you would have to have a psychdelic experience to truly understand but Keith describes it beautifully.
