Their second album, Corridors of Blissterday, was completed live with an eight piece band in five days, and released in June 2009.

Whatever Happened To The Million Head Collide
Pond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't say
I think and i feel so it must be real, the holiest of holies comes out so surreal
I don't care, let's do it together
Smile on the face of the gods you made
I am, you are Buddha, Krishna, God
I'm gonna sleep for a week and not speak at all
Hold my breath and i'll not speak at all for a while
I heard the word and arranged the fall
So i ran into my bed and covered my head with oil and tin foil,
You're a fuck and good luck and god bless you all
(Dank an Geher für den Text)
The lyrics of "Whatever Happened To The Million Head Collide?" by Pond are both whimsical and enigmatic. The song suggests a desire for a collective consciousness where individual identities dissolve and people become part of something larger. The lyrics "I am, you are Buddha, Krishna, God" create this sense of unity, where all beings are equal and connected. The singer is curious about what happens when people's thoughts and emotions merge, forming a unique experience. The phrase "the holiest of holies comes out so surreal" implies that this experience is divine, beyond words, and impossible to fully comprehend.
The second half of the song seems to be about needing a break from this overwhelming experience. The lyrics describe a desire to disconnect from reality, escape into a dreamlike state, and forget all responsibilities. The line "I heard the word and arranged the fall" suggests that the singer is deliberately removing themselves from this collective consciousness. The use of oil and tin foil to cover themselves is bizarre and suggests a desire to insulate themselves from outside stimuli. The phrase "good luck and god bless you all" seems to be a sarcastic remark, as if the singer is mocking the very thing they were just celebrating.
