Waste the lines on all the sex
Intercept your intellect
Nothnig's left to erase inside your mind
Open up, open up, open up your mind
Your mind!
The lyrics to Crossbreed's song Pure Energy are about the dangers of focusing solely on physical pleasure and neglecting one's intellectual and mental growth. The first line, "Intercept your intellect," suggests that the singer is speaking to someone who is ignoring their mental capabilities. The next line, "Waste the lines on all the sex," indicates that this person is instead focusing on sexual gratification at the expense of furthering their knowledge and understanding.
The chorus, "Nothing's left to erase inside your mind/Open up, open up, open up your mind/Your mind!" underscores the importance of being open-minded and constantly learning. The repetition of "open up" suggests that the singer is urging the listener to break down their mental barriers and embrace new ideas and perspectives. The final "Your mind!" emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in intellectual growth - it's up to the individual to actively seek out new knowledge.
Overall, the lyrics to Pure Energy are a call to action to prioritize mental growth and curiosity over short-term physical pleasure.
