Lyrics
Tommy joined the cult, started smoking dope
Tommy joined a cult and started using drugs.
Nicky came along, Tommy got it wrong
Nicky joined Tommy, but Tommy made a mistake.
Staring at the fire in the guru's eyes
Both Tommy and Nicky are captivated by the guru's eyes and presence.
Burning with a message from the other side
They feel inspired by a message or revelation from a spiritual source.
She says you're out of time
The guru warns that time is running out.
She said you're out of time
Reiteration of the warning that time is running out.
And this might blow your mind
The upcoming revelation might be shocking or mind-blowing.
You're gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
Repetition of the ominous message that they are going to die.
Die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
-Die, gonna die, gonna die, you're gonna die
-And you know why
A hint or question about the reason for their impending death.
Nicky got a glimpse on a sinking ship
Nicky sees a problematic situation on a sinking ship.
Tommy had to go do it on his own
Tommy decides to face challenges independently.
Spiked a serotonin, wasn't that a surprise
Tommy takes a drug that affects Nicky's perception.
Something new for Nicky's dilated eyes
Nicky experiences something surprising with dilated eyes.
She says you're out of time
The guru repeats the warning that time is running out.
She said you're out of time
Reiteration of the warning about running out of time.
And this might blow your mind
Repeating the anticipation of a mind-blowing revelation.
You're gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
Repetition of the ominous message that they are going to die.
Die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
-Die, gonna die, gonna die, you're gonna die
-And you know why
A repeated question or statement about the reason for impending death.
Tommy joined the cult, started smoking dope
Recapitulation of Tommy joining the cult and using drugs.
Nicky came along, Tommy got it wrong
Reiteration of Nicky joining Tommy, but Tommy's mistake is emphasized.
Staring at the fire in the guru's eyes
Both are still captivated by the guru's eyes and a message from the other side.
Burning with a message from the other side
Reiteration of being inspired by a message from a spiritual source.
She says you're out of time
Repeating the warning that time is running out.
She said you're out of time
Reiteration of the warning about running out of time.
And this might blow your mind
Repeating the anticipation of a mind-blowing revelation.
You're gonna die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
Repetition of the ominous message that they are going to die.
Die, gonna die, gonna die, gonna die
-Die, gonna die, gonna die, you're gonna die
-And you know why
A repeated question or statement about the reason for impending death.
