Cover art for Crucify Your Mind lyrics by Rodríguez

To me this song is all about Ego. The lyrics are genius. By Huntsman or player I think Rodriguez is referring to the people we dream of becoming. However, the large majority of us do not become the person we dream of and are "tortured by your own thirst in those pleasures that you seek." Those of us with Ego's, assume we have something to offer, "secret shiny and new". But in the end, your ego will only make you unhappy especially when you do not acquire the things you dreamed of. The song is called crucify your mind because Rodriguez wants to make it apparent to us that we are not living in reality "con, convince your mirror"..."giving substance to the shadows" because our ego's are clouding our vision. I just nailed this m@therf*cker. #AndyOut

I think you nailed it too. I listened to it tonight for the first few times and I thought, damn, this sounds like a song about the masks that we wear in society, how we strive to be what we think society or parents or peers think we should be. And maybe about how that path is one in which we cope with our sadness by indulging in "pleasures." I dunno. But I do believe the track is disguised as a love song, but it's surely something else.

Absolutely, the 'born for the purpose that crucifies your mind' is such a clear hint that I have no doubt that Rodrigues is sharing with us the path to, say, nirguna brahman.

You are right.
