Cosmic Weed
Exploring Alternate Realities: Cosmic Revelations
Lyrics
Running all the time
Constantly on the move
And knowing time is running out
Aware that time is limited
And knowing all what time's about
Understanding the essence of time
Dreaming all those dreams so evil
Immersed in disturbing dreams
So evil are the dreams we dream tonight
The dreams are malevolent in nature
But the man in the moon sits tight, and he says:
The moon observer remains passive and distant
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
An invitation to experience a mind-altering substance (cosmic weed)
And glance a world so strange indeed"
Suggesting a bizarre and unfamiliar world
Fading little ones
Fading away, possibly referring to innocence or vitality
Not knowing they soon fade away
Unaware of their impending disappearance
The tiny mushroom houses of yesterday
Mention of nostalgic memories represented by mushroom houses
Dreaming all those dreams so evil
Reiteration of disturbing dreams
So evil are the dreams they dream tonight
Continuation of malevolent dreams at night
But the man in the moon he smiles, and he says:
The moon observer now smiles, possibly indicating approval
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
Reiteration of the invitation to try cosmic weed
And glance a world so strange indeed"
Re-emphasizing the strangeness of the suggested world
Knowing there's no evil down where I go
Awareness of the absence of evil in a certain place
Knowing there's no evil tonight
Confident in the absence of evil for the night
Knowing there's no evil down where I go to find it all out
Belief in the absence of evil while seeking understanding
"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
Repetition of the invitation to try cosmic weed
And glance a world so strange indeed"
Reiteration of the peculiar and unusual nature of the suggested world
