So Long
Wet Cactus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your brain′s pollution doesn't let you look around
And the sky open up, closing your mind
Needing for change while everything is painted black
Long road, the truth
So long the truth
Needing for change while everything is painted black
So long the truth
Run away from it
Break the chains and feel free
Evil rising is the clearest and dirty thing
Strange feeling, at my funeral... big nebula!!
In the song "So Long" by Wet Cactus, the lyrics depict the struggle of being stuck in a negative state of mind. The first two lines "Who feels under the rain a pain like in the sun, Your brain's pollution doesn't let you look around" suggest that the singer is feeling pain despite the pleasantness of the weather. They blame their own "brain's pollution" for not allowing them to see the beauty around them. The next two lines "And the sky open up, closing your mind, Needing for change while everything is painted black" suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed by their negative thoughts and wants to change but doesn't know how.
The repetition of "So long the truth" could suggest that the singer is saying goodbye to their current state of mind and accepting the need for change. The line "Run away from it, Break the chains and feel free" suggests that the singer wants to break free from their negative mindset and feel liberated. The line "Evil rising is the clearest and dirty thing" could suggest that the singer sees negativity as something that is clear and obvious, but also dirty and unhealthy.
Finally, the line "Strange feeling, at my funeral... big nebula!!" is a cryptic line that could suggest the singer feeling overwhelmed and confused. The mention of a funeral and a nebula (a cloud of gas and dust in space) could suggest a feeling of isolation and detachment.
