Smells Like October
Embracing October's Bold Transformation
Lyrics
The sun seems so far away on a day like today
The sun feels distant on today's day.
The chilly air creeps into the cracks of my shoes
Cold air penetrates my shoes through cracks.
As I march this daily grunge, I gaze off through the clouds
In the routine grind, I look through the clouds.
But to me it's all empty
Everything appears hollow to me.
And it smells like October
A sense of October permeates the atmosphere.
Bold crackling electricity
Powerful, crackling energy is a key.
Is the skeleton key
This energy unlocks escape from a dreamy landscape.
To escape this dreamy landscape
A landscape of wandering boredom.
Of wandering boredom
An existence in a dull plain.
Dull plain of existence
Encourages breaking from the routine.
Snap out of your everyday routine
Move beyond the familiar.
And bypass all that you know
Bypass your known world.
Go get struck by imaginary lightning
Experience the impact of imagination.
And flow down the street
Flow through the street transformed.
With orange laser-beam eyes
Eyes radiate with an orange laser-beam glow.
Become your primitive counterpart
Revert to a primal self.
Speak inaudible gibberish
Speak in unintelligible gibberish.
Discover the meaning of life
Seek the meaning of life.
Put your belt on the other way
Symbolic act: wear your belt differently.
Then go and buy some ugly cream-colored sunglasses
Buy unconventional, ugly cream-colored sunglasses.
And say you're me
Claim a new identity as "me."
The swampy hazel color returns to my eyes
Eyes reflect a swampy hazel color.
And my soul is placed back into my body
The soul returns to the body.
Somehow I've changed, but I don't know how
Transformation occurred, but it's unclear how.
And it smells like October
The scent of October persists.
