2) PLVNET is the new embodiment of the "universal song". It has been heard in many forms, with many names. It has always been and will be. It only comes at times when humanity is in great need and often pioneers the great shifts in the music paradigm. Friends, that time is once again upon us. This most recent incarnation of the universal song has chosen Curtis Anthony (Low Frequency), Wes Hartman (Chant/Voice), Red Souther (Pulse), Nathanimal Luttrell (Mid and High Frequencies) who was voted as Chattanooga's Best Guitarist 2009 at the FYI music awards. and James "DJ Kid Saturn" Wood (Sonic Ear Candy) to usher in the sounds of the new world.

Planet draws it's influences from these previous couriers of the song: Radiohead, Deftones, David Bowie, Beethoven, Pink Floyd, Silverchair, Led Zeppelin, Incubus, Muse, Weezer, Roy Orbison and many others.

Planet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been wasting
Tear me down some
Call me insane
I've been down low
I've been outweighed
Sinking further
Losing again
I went down into the water
I was blind I could have sworn
That it never ends
Imaginary friend
Imaginary
Caught out into the sunbeam
You were there I couldn't see
Or pretend
Imaginary friend
Imaginary
Leave me under
While you're up there
Hold me down too
'Nother nightmare
You won't need one
You won't feel it
Tell me something
How'd you see it
Anyway
I went down into the water
I was blind I could have sworn
That it never ends
Imaginary friend
Imaginary
Caught out into the sunbeam
You were there I couldn't see
Or pretend
Imaginary friend
Imaginary friend
It never ends
It never ends
I was hurting
And I was feeling
Everything between
Yeah, you've been alright
My mind's been made up
I don't wanna see
The lyrics of "Imaginary" by Planet describe a feeling of despair and the desire to forget about one's problems. The singer of the song is asking for someone to help them forget by tearing them down and calling them insane. The singer acknowledges that they've been in a bad place emotionally, feeling outweighed and sinking further. The phrase "losing again" adds to the feeling of hopelessness. The word "Anyway" interrupts the repetition of the previous lines and suggests that the singer is resigned to their fate.
The second verse of the song talks about going down into the water and being blind, creating a sense of disorientation and confusion. The phrase "imaginary friend" is repeated several times, providing a bridge between the two verses. The imaginary friend is a metaphor for someone who isn't real, but still offers comfort or support. The singer is caught out in a sunbeam, suggesting a sense of vulnerability and exposure. The line "you were there I couldn't see" creates an interesting dichotomy between presence and absence. The final lines, "it never ends" are repeated three times, emphasizing a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness.
