Mechanical World Lyrics

Cover art for Mechanical World lyrics by Spirit

I remember this from grade school. I thought it was about a really depressed young guy who did too many drugs and was dying from an overdose. Unintentionally. Was thinking back while fading out. About his Dad, Mom,and girlfriend. Song really blew me away. I was a young kid and this was definitely different than most top 40 stations would play. Spirit went on to become one of my favorite bands back then. Always called Mechanical World the doper song. Psychedelic awesome tune.

@CjTom The haunting music sets the feel of the dying GI on the battlefield not wanting his loved ones to not know what happened to him (sometimes their body was in too many pieces to bring home) πŸ’”πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸ•ŠοΈ
