Confusion
X-Code Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The starry veil of galaxies is the planet's winding sheet
The spherical blue is a crosshair on your crown
Fingers bending time and space as the sound begins to drown
When you vanish in the rhythm of the infinite roar
And the system is ready to blow
Ohh
We are waylaid at Ground Zero
And you feel yourself losing control
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
You try to sway with your maleficent beats of confusion
Do I obtrude upon your love of impairing delusion
And so the people dance and sing
They don't seem to care about anything right now
They're so invincible
So convincible
When you vanish in the rhythm of the infinite roar
And the system is ready to blow
Ohh
We are waylaid at Ground Zero
When the needle drops down and the club is on fire
And you feel yourself losing control
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
Round and round
Round and round
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Gravity and energy flow
When you vanish in the rhythm of the infinite roar
And the system is ready to blow
Ohh
We are waylaid at Ground Zero
When the needle drops down and the club is on fire
And you feel yourself losing control
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
Round and round she goes
Feel the energy flow
Round and round we go
Gravity and energy flows
When you vanish in the rhythm of the infinite roar
And the system is a-ready to blow
Ohh
We are waylaid at Ground Zero
When the needle drops down and the club is on fire
And you feel yourself losing control
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
When you vanish in the rhythm of the infinite roar
And the system is ready to blow
Ohh
We are waylaid at Ground Zero
When the needle drops down and the club is on fire
And you feel yourself losing control
Ohh
There's a superphreak in mission control
Now you are accountable

The lyrics of X-Code's song "Confusion" paint a vivid picture of a chaotic and hypnotic atmosphere. Initially, the imagery of "shadows on the starboard door dancing in the heat" and the "planet's winding sheet" of galaxies create a sense of otherworldly disarray. The line "fingers bending time and space as the sound begins to drown" suggests a sense of power or control over the environment, but also a feeling of being overwhelmed by the overwhelming chaos.
The chorus reveals the central theme of the song, as the singer is swept up in the energy of the club and losing control. The repeated mention of a "superphreak in mission control" implies a figure who is in charge but perhaps chaotic or unconventional in their approach. The line "do I obtrude upon your love of impairing delusion" could be interpreted as a questioning or challenging of someone's choice to escape into a state of confusion or intoxication.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense that the people around the singer are carefree and invincible, seemingly unaware or unaffected by the chaos. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the feeling of being caught in a whirlwind, as the system is on the verge of blowing up and the club is on fire. The final lines, "now you are accountable," suggest a moment of reflection or realization for the singer, as if they are forced to face the consequences of their actions.
Overall, "Confusion" explores the thrill and disorienting nature of being swept up in the chaotic energy of a club or party scene, while also questioning the motivations and consequences of seeking escape in such environments.
