1000 Homo DJs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to touch the sun but I don't want to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain on the moon
And find the dish that runs away with the spoon
Supernaut
Supernaut
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years it never bothered me
Bothered me
Supernaut
Bothered me
Supernaut
They all sing the same refrain
It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins
Twenty-five seconds
Twwenty seconds and counting
Fifteen seconds, guidence is internal
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine
Ignition sequence starts
Six, five, four, three, two, one
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've leave it behind

An exultant cry indicating the attainment of a goal

Having discovered something beautiful and rare at the end of a hard journey

Twenty-five seconds
Counting down to an exciting and potentially dangerous event
Twwenty seconds and counting
Getting closer to the moment of action
Fifteen seconds, guidance is internal
Relying on one's internal compass and intuition for direction
Twelve, eleven, ten, nine
The tension and anticipation building up to the launch
Ignition sequence starts
The beginning of a thrilling ride or journey
Six, five, four, three, two, one
The countdown to the moment of takeoff or explosion
Got no religion, don't need no friends

Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Being content and satisfied with what one has, without the need for pretense or false appearances
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
Warning against trying to change or influence me, as it would be a futile and dangerous endeavor
I've seen the future and I've leave it behind
Having a vision and moving forward without hesitation or regret

Back in the mid 90s, Q101 Radio in Chicago had a nightly call in song battle. 2 songs, vote for your fave. Supernaut won one night, and the next, and the next, and the next. I recall it staying for weeks before the station had to essentially retire it from competition.
@johannalewellyn3439
I am from Chicago and totally miss Q101!! Glad to hear someone else that was a fan!
@rjf.49047
They played the Reznor vocals. I had it recorded on a tape off the radio. I lived in southwestern michigan and could barely get the station in but was so happy when it came in
@Pullo83
Exactly what happened and it was like appointment radio every night to hear if Supernaut would keep winning lol. Same energy as watching young Mike Tyson fights.
@vinylsolution2522
Excellent
@Sickman979
I remember calling in and voting every night for that. Once they played me asking to play burn by nine inch nails.
@SuperKready
I love that he actually yells "Supernaut!"
