I remember, I remember when I lost my mind He's writing about his experiences with psychedelics. Let me enlighten everyone by explaining and assuring what this song is about. People need the ability to quesiton and defy social customs to find a truth or break a mold. To most it's that phase of youth where curiosity drives a naiive mind to wonder about a world around him that is initially so obtuse. The "place" is your own serene bliss of thought, where you have the freedom to think and express you're intellect, you're curiosity and individualizing, characterizing mind. You're not quite that smart, to really understand everything. Who are you to think yo'ure some genius to understand the universe? You begin to learn about the other people that are alike to you, that there are intellectuals out there that can relate to you at least partly. "And when you’re out there, without care"īut, really, once you've thought enough, you must think about all the others that have gone about that same train of thought. You therefore distance yourself from the world and from society, giving this feeling You lose interest and care, and iwth this loss of interest comes the loss of attention to your world. It's all typical, it's all been done before and it's all typical, all the same. You begin to develop a loss of care for the world. You're thinking consistently and with an obssessive passion in order to understand what few ever could. WIth this obssession in thought and deducive reasoning comes your abscense of mind, where, to the world, you seem out of it, you seem crazy, but for you, it's all in your head. These people distance themselves from others around them because of societies lack of an ability to understand this phase, for the most part at least. "But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough Reason for an event through deduction have an ability to understand without experiencing, an abiliyt most don't have and most can't understand. They are thought of as that typical stereotype who thinks they understand everything about the world without having experienced any of it.īut for those who can produce any material meaning or It's a phase that he's talking about, a post-adolescent phase in which one would think obssesively, contemplating and deducivly reasoning about the world, this reality, to find an answer or reason. well that phrase is oxymoronic anyways, an interpretation is completely subjective. I'm not saying this is an ultimately correct interpretation of a song because. We should all be dancing it instead perhaps that would do a lot more good!!! ![]() And yet when he speaks of freeing himself from his mind, he makes a point out of the fact that everyone else will see HIM as crazy.Įither way, the hundreds of possible interpretations of the song kind of prove his point. "I remember when I lost my mind, there was something so pleasant about that place, even your emotions have an echo in so much space."Ĭould he be talking about freeing one's self from the slavery of the mind, existing at a different level where one is not subject to the neurotic chitchat that goes on inside one's head, that doesn't allow us to fully experience what's going on around and inside of us? That's why we become out of touch: not because we don't know enough, but rather because we have way too much inside our minds, and this distracts us from the joy and intensity of life. If we consider that there are other options, and that our whole existence is based on a series of parameters and rules that exist only within our heads.is our day to day life actually real, or are we too lost in our own minds, and unaware of what's going on outside of them? Are we all crazy then.? What if there are other ways of going through our existence that don't rely exclusively on our neurotic minds? "I remember when I lost my mind, there was something so pleasant about that placeĮven your emotions have an echo in so much space, evenįrom the very base of how we construct our own identity (values, experiences, likes, dislikes, goals, expectations.), to what our understanding of how people are, how society works and how we fit into it.it's all, in the end, something that takes place in our mind. What life is all about, what we're doing here, who we are, what are we supposed to be, what we're supposed to do with ourselves, how we're supposed to act, treat other people, interpret what other do and say. Our whole interpretation of reality, how we interact with the world around us, with other people and with ourselves is all defined by our mind.
