Cosmo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just gonna sleep here,
on my hands and knees,
back on the mainland,
the grey reaching trees.

Am I just getting what I deserve?
God, it hurts.
And the shadows at the shows,
enormous and moving to the music.
I can imagine I
was at seven different places all at once.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

And I still see you on that windowsill
my whole life, what a heavy drop to fill.
Was that just a place to lose it?
One way or the other, you have to break through it

And the shadows at the shows,
enormous and moving to the music.
I can imagine I
was at seven different places all at once.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

And I still see you on that windowsill
my whole life, what a heavy drop to fill.
Was that just a place to lose it?
One way or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other, or the other!

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,
it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

The Coliseum or the Concert Hall, the city or the sea,
the bedroom or the ballroom, makes no difference to me,




it's all just a place to lose it.
One way or the other, you have to break through it.

Overall Meaning

The song starts with the singer mentioning that they have reached a point where they have given up and fallen to the ground, exhausted. They talk about being back on the mainland amidst dull and depressing surroundings. The singer wonders if the pain they are feeling is because they are getting what they deserve.


The song then moves to the 'shadows at the shows,' where the singer talks about being able to imagine being at different places at once, like the coliseum or the city. They say that the venue doesn't matter as long as it's a place to 'lose it' and break through the pain.


The lyrics return to the person the singer sees on the windowsill, someone who they have carried with them for their whole life. The singer asks themselves whether that person was just a place for them to lose it. The song then ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that the destination doesn't matter; the only goal is to break through it.

"Fantasy"
(feat. Franc Moody)

Take a seat
Sit back, recline and lose your mind
Fantasy
Distort the time in paradise

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't leave
I can't turn off the flow

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't leave
'Cause I'm caught in the glow

You're my all night safari
You keep gettin' me wild
You keep gettin' me wild
Now with that body

My all night safari
Keep bringin' the vibe
Keep bringin' the vibe
All 'bout that body

You're my all night

Joyride, we can take it slow
Exhale, unwind, enjoy your time
Warm nights in the afterglow
Don't think, just feel, we come alive

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't leave
I can't turn off the flow

I can't sleep
I can't eat
I can't leave
'Cause I'm caught in the glow

You're my all night safari
You keep gettin' me wild
You keep gettin' me wild
Now with that body

My all night safari
Keep bringin' the vibe
Keep bringin' the vibe
All 'bout that body

You're my all night
All night safari
You're my all night
All night safari

Oh my god, I can't stop, I'm too high
Can we drive, drive, drive through the purple skies?
Oh my god, I can't stop, blow my mind
Can we ride, ride, ride? Cali sunset time

You're my all night safari
You keep gettin' me wild
You keep gettin' me wild
Now with that body

My all night safari
Keep bringin' the vibe
Keep bringin' the vibe
All 'bout that body
