Cover art for 11th Dimension lyrics by Julian Casablancas

In the first part of the song he highlights the absurdity in the world. Then he tells you to be wiser and forgive their ignorence, because if you snap they are waiting at your door. You are looking for someone to say what's on your mind, but your thoughts are ahead of your dimension (or generation). You should speak your mind is the message. Then he keeps giving advice. Be wise but drop your guard, speak your mind and don't be shy. "That is how it once was done All the dreamers on the run" This means to me that in the past, the dreamers that had different ideas were persecuted and to not let yourself get discouraged by people not accepting your dreams. Finally Julians says to believe in this world, to not let yourself get depressed by the ignorence, and to have a plan if you're going to be leading the way.
