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. General CommentLike everyone else is saying. 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. There was something so pleasant about that placeĮven your emotions have an echo in so much spaceīut it wasn't because I didn't know enoughĪnd I hope that you are having the time of your lifeĮver since I was little it looked like fun I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
