Mind Explorer
Paprika Korps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation

Past events, past lifes happened to you
More than just a feeling of a deja-vu
I feel like a onlooker into my past life
Cutting into previous times my mind the knife
When hallucinating seem things in dreams
Could I see into the future? It isn't what it seems
I say it's confusion the way that I feel
Chemical inside me makes it so surreal

Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation

They hold the strings, salvation is far
You'D like to see things the way that they are
They don't want you discovering your mind
They stay in power, while you stay blind
Wisdom, knowledge you must devour
Threaten convention, those in power
As will the opressors in authority
Who'd hate to see our land totally free

Explore the mind and reach salvation
Solve the puzzle of creation

Ragga technician is on the mission
Against those who stay in power while you stay in vision
Watch out a feel a reggae wide attack
Bad days now are gone, the rotten system gone out
So people people move your dancing bodies
Destroy the old statement make everything clear
Our mind shall burn, with or without cannabis
The time is incoming, and the prophecy is near

Overall Meaning

The song "Mind Explorer" by Paprika Korps is a reflection of the human mind's vastness and possibilities. The lyrics urge the listener to explore their mind and unlock the salvation within it. Figuratively, the mind is portrayed as a puzzle of creation that needs to be deciphered. The song implies that one's present life is connected to their past lives through the feeling of déjà vu. The vocalist feels like an onlooker into his past, cutting into his previous times with his mind. He questions his ability to see into the future and wonders whether it is real or just confusion.


The song also depicts a power imbalance between the rulers and the people, with the former trying to keep the latter in the dark. The establishment is against the idea of mind exploration, as it threatens their authority. The lyrics encourage the listeners to devour wisdom and knowledge and challenge the status quo. The vocalist believes that oppressors in power hate to see the land entirely free, but the path to freedom lies in exploring the mind.
