Goin' Against Your Mind Lyrics
What it takes to want to be a man
I don’t know why
Hiding things that no one wants to find
I don’t care why
Floating high above the trees one night
Turned out to be just God
Who has better reasons to deceive
That's all they do
No he was there
Goin' against your mind is the perspective of a person who has come to the realisation that the actual truth is something other than what his mind informs him. This is something you can realise by meditation, by taking certain drugs or by experiencing mental illness. Our perceptions are always limited in several ways, but a huge number of people are under the delusion that what we perceive is actual reality. They do not realise that what we are fed by our minds at any moment, is just a small, selected part of a mirror image of reality, that our mind has created for us using various mental systems. If we could perceive actual reality, we would all agree about most things, but since our minds warp it for us, we get different perspectives and biases. To "go against your mind" is to try to see through the veil of delusion to find truth and actual reality. It could be about a particular drug trip or episode of mental illness, too. The perception of the 'unknown' differs between cultures and ages. Now that God/gods are going out of fashion, people who experience unexplainable stimuli will more often interpret them as aliens rather than as fairies, gods or demons.
thats why built to spill is so great, their lyrics are so much more simple and unpretentious than the other indie rock bands..they don't try to be philosophical and it turns out great
(off upcoming unreleased album that was leaked)
What an awesome new song for this band

its not leaked, its on myspace, and many indie radio stations....

(When you hear the early leaked album you will soon despise Mike Jones.)
WHO'S MIKE JONES?!?!

When I was a kid I saw a light Floating high above the trees one night
Thought ‘twas an alien Turned out just god

And he was there No he was there

Turned out to be just god...
