Although they might sound like they could've appeared on the original Nuggets compilation, Jacuzzi Boys are most definitely a product of the 21st century; Gabriel Alcala (guitar) and Diego Monasteri (drums) teamed up to form Jacuzzi Boys in Miami, Florida in 2007. Bassist Danny Gonzales was brought on board soon after to round out the group's sound, and the newly formed trio quickly attracted the attention of the Orlando, Florida-based indie label Floridas Dying (at the time home to a number of like-minded acts, including Yussuf Jerusalum and Cop City Chill Pillars). Jacuzzi Boys' debut full-length on that label, No Seasons, was released in 2009.

The band's profile enjoyed a healthy boost following some favorable media coverage (the band's 2009 split 7" with Woven Bones was featured on Pitchfork) and an endorsement from none other than Iggy Pop, who dropped the band's name in an interview with Urban Outfitters, and it wasn't long before they found themselves on the roster of Sub Pop offshoot Hardly Art. Jacuzzi Boys' sophomore album, Glazin', was released in August of 2011. After spending a bunch of time touring and getting a song in the Seth Rogan movie 50/50, the Boys headed to the Key Club Recording Co. to lay down their third album. The results were mastered by legendary sound wizard Kramer and released to the public as Jacuzzi Boys via Hardly Art in the early autumn of 2013.
After taking a bit of a break, the trio hit the studio in Miami with Torche's Jonathan Nunez in the producer's chair. The resulting batch of back-to-basics garage rockers arrived on the six-song EP Happy Damage, which the band decided to release on its newly formed Mag Mag label in September of 2015. Their next album, the '90s indie rock and grunge-leaning Ping Pong, was recorded in Los Angeles and similarly self-released in late 2016.

I never realy knew the way
So my mind kept on spinnning
Talking with a good friend
Who just can't stop his critting

Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass

My dream today had me going up the wall
That old ship sailed over
My hand couldn't reach it all
I stood right on his shoulders

Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass
Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass

My dream today had me laying on the floor
The sun kept on shining
I couldn't take anymore
But my friends kept on buying

Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass
Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass

My dream today had me going up the wall
That old ship sailed over
My hand couldn't reach it all
I stood right on his shoulders

Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass
Cosmo grass
Pigs made out of glass

My dream today
Aaaahhh
Dream today
Aaaahhh
Dream today

Overall Meaning

"Planet Of The Dreamers" by Jacuzzi Boys is a psychedelic rock song that explores themes of dreams and imagination. The opening lines "I never really knew the way / So my mind kept on spinning" establish a sense of confusion and uncertainty, suggesting that the singer is lost in their thoughts. The lyrics suggest that the singer is discussing their dreams with a friend who is critical of their ideas, as seen in the line "Talking with a good friend / Who just can't stop his critting."

The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Cosmo grass / Pigs made out of glass" multiple times, which is a reflection of the vivid and surreal elements present in the singer's dreams. These lines conjure images of a strange and otherworldly place, where the normal rules of reality no longer apply.

The second verse of the song describes the singer's dream where they are unable to reach a "ship" that sails over them, further emphasizing their feelings of being lost and unable to achieve their goals. The final chorus repeats the same lines as before, conveying a sense of patterns repeating and the cyclical nature of dreams.

Overall, "Planet Of The Dreamers" is a reflection on the power of imagination and the ways in which dreams can transport us to other worlds, both beautiful and unsettling.

Line by Line Meaning

I never really knew the way
I lacked direction in life

So my mind kept on spinning
I couldn't stop overthinking

Talking with a good friend
Engaging in conversation with a close companion

Who just can't stop his critting
Who keeps on criticizing

Cosmo grass
A type of plant that exists in outer space

Pigs made out of glass
Glass sculptures of pigs

My dream today had me going up the wall
My recent dream was overwhelming

That old ship sailed over
A metaphor for missed opportunities

My hand couldn't reach it all
I was unable to seize the opportunity

I stood right on his shoulders
A friend helped me to reach higher

My dream today had me laying on the floor
My recent dream had me feeling defeated
