I Am The Cosmos Lyrics

Lyric discussion by HagenDos 

Cover art for I Am The Cosmos lyrics by Chris Bell

The song is about Chris and his struggles with repressed homosexuality and his attempt to use his newfound christianity to help him though it.

His words are basically:

I thought I found christ… (Just when I was starting to feel okay) then a old lover of the sinful male sex calls me

(You're on the phone I never wanna be alone)

(But My feeling's always have been something I couldn't hide, I can't confide)

A part of me wishes you'd go away ("I never want to see you again") I wish you didn't make me feel the way you do. I wish I didn't make you feel that way either.

(I hate to have to take you home Want you too much to say no, no)

I need to rise above this satanic behaviour so

(Every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos, I am the wind" But that don't get you back again)
