Ineffable Mindfuck
Transcendent Odyssey: The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Ineffable Mind
Lyrics
There's something in the air
There's a noticeable presence or influence in the atmosphere.
Smell it everywhere, getting in your hair
An identifiable scent is pervasive, affecting everything, even clinging to your hair.
It gets in your dreams, it's in everything
This presence permeates dreams and is omnipresent in all aspects of life.
And you can't get clean
Despite efforts, one cannot rid oneself of this influence, and cleanliness becomes elusive.
And it's wrecked the scene
The situation has negatively impacted the environment or atmosphere.
Try, and you got to move
Effort is required to cope or navigate through the challenges posed by the influence.
And you look in sync with time
Being in sync with time is essential, and there's a connection between movement and mental state.
As you move your mind coming end the world
The mind is active in facing the imminent end of the world.
As you sail this sinking ship
Metaphorical reference to navigating a troubled situation, possibly with a sinking feeling.
As it kiss your lips, and it drags you down
An experience that may seem appealing but ultimately brings one down.
In the flames and sound
In the midst of chaos and noise, possibly alluding to challenging circumstances.
Time, did you take a trip
Reflecting on the passage of time, possibly involving a journey or altered state of mind.
As you start to climb and you take a sip
Climbing suggests progress, and taking a sip could symbolize experiencing something new.
And you feel so free
A sense of freedom is felt at this point in the journey or experience.
This is where you should be
Expressing contentment with the current state of being, lost in the sounds of the surroundings.
Being lost in sound, looking all around
Observing the environment with a sense of curiosity and wonder.
Flying through the air, going everywhere
A metaphorical flight through life, exploring various places and experiences.
Everywhere you should be
Being present in all the places where one should be, indicating a sense of fulfillment.
Anywhere that's free
Freedom is found in any place that allows one to be unrestrained.
