Cowgirl Lyrics

Cover art for Cowgirl lyrics by Underworld

I always thought he was singing about transcendence, that moment when you leave your every day mind, and become everything, invisible, connected to the universe totally. Like when you're totally in the moment at a rave.

"I scream so much you know what I mean this electric stream"

~~ he's talking about what it's like to sing on stage, electric stream = the music

and my tears in league with the wires and energy and my machine this is my beautiful dream"

~~ The tears are the overwhelming emotion the music creates in that moment ~~ Wires and the energy and the machine is the music set up/ DJ equipment



"why don't you call me I feel like flying in two" 
 ~~~ talking about getting high, or reaching unimaginable heights in the moment 

"I'm hurting no one
hurting no one"  
~~~ when you're at a rave, enjoying the music, you're not hurting anyone, you're pure love  

"I want to give you everything
I want to give you energy
I want to give a good thing 
I want to give you everything " 

~~~ he's talking about connecting to everyone in that moment and giving all he can to the audience and vice versa - everyone is pure love in that moment

"everythingeverythingeverythingeverythingeverythingeverythingeverything"

~~~ Becoming everything in that moment, transcendence of self 

"in one final scream of love who could climb
this high she looks beautiful like a child" 

~~~ In that moment you become like a child, enchanted with the world again, again climbing to the highest of highs 

"I feel tears
and I want to scream"  

~~ because it's so amazing and emotional 

"you know what I mean cause this is hurting no one
an eraser of love"

~~~ an eraser of love, erasing your identity in that moment, as you transcend, it erases both everything you love, and hate - become one with the universe
