Astral Traveller
Cales Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My time comes
When the night does
genius with his head in clouds
eccentric hunk
obscure weirdo
introverted visionary
Hemp's smouldering over the candle flame
Dark thoughts fill up the room
The bliss of the sensation
Fragments of time make up
A mosaic of the mystic beauty
Perpetuation of the splendid moment
I've mastered the tongue of the Earth
The metallic sound of the voice resounds into infinity
Seemingly insane
I'm just about to conclude my scientific research
Purification of the human spirit
Through prolonged seclusion
The state of mind opens the entrance gate
The time machine has been built
There's just a few tests ahead
Time travel almost drove me insane
If you don't tell anyone




We might set off on
An adventure into the unknown

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cales's song "Astral Traveller" portray the experiences of a person who has become a master of astral travel, which involves leaving the physical body and traveling through space and time using only the mind. The song depicts this person as being eccentric, introverted, and visionary, someone with their head in the clouds and who is often misunderstood by others. They spend time alone, contemplating and researching, and have mastered the "tongue of the Earth," which could mean that they have learned the language of the planet and its natural systems.


The song touches on themes of isolation, purification, and time. The singer has purified their spirit through seclusion, and is about to test their machine that will allow them to travel through time. They have already experienced the sensation of leaving their physical body and traveling, and describe it as a blissful and mystic experience. The lyrics suggest that the ultimate goal of this venture is not only to explore unknown territories but also to gain scientific knowledge and enhance the human spirit.
