Cosmonaut Lyrics

Cover art for Cosmonaut lyrics by Wolfmother

To me it seems to be about people who are in search of answers, philisophically, psychotropically, or even just meditatively, and their eventual enlightment/transcendence from human form.

or it could be as simple as being about tripping, although i like to think there's as much depth as i interpret when i listen to songs like this.

"We traveled far off into space, <-----------> within you without you, space is in the mind, and beyond us as well, so it would then mean to travel deep within yourself, and search the world around, too. no longer part of any race; <--------> evolve past differentiating between ethnicitys, other belief systems/ways of life. just be, and be human. All worldly pleasures left behind, <------> one of the answers i found was to leave behind glutony and materialism. i've noticed when i'm not constantly yearning for things i don't need i'm a lot less unsatisfied all the time, ya dig? and i'm able to focus on things i should be bothering myself with. pretty much this applies to any trivial desire. no longer part of our own kind." <------> energy/matter can't be created or destroyed, so when we "die", our human body (a vessal)decomposes in one way or another (recycling), and where does the energy (soul, spirit, other?) go? transcendence!

ahh, the universe, what a beautiful space to try to wrap ones mind around. but nobody's mind wraps that far without being blown.

That! is what Wolfmother is all about! Enlightenment!

I completely agree. The song must be about two people's need to understand life and the world and their journey and their discovery of what they were searching for!
