Cosmic Freeway
YEEK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know what happened
Growing up that made me such a hopeless romantic
Then I met my first love
Four years flew by, then I dipped to live like a savage

Then I faded karma, had a bad fist fight
Bitch gave me a black eye
Gotta follow my dharma
Defeat my anger
Clean up my third eye

By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes I like to get deep in conversation
Sometimes my small talk means "fuck off"
Sometimes I'm philosophical when I'm wasted
Guess my ex-girl's ways rubbed off

But I still don't know what my purpose is here
I know enough to know
That what I think I know ain't clear
I just wanna go wherever my heaven is
It's far away from here (it's far away)

By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
Yeah, yeah
By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
Yeah, yeah

I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway, yeah

I winked at the universe today and she smiled back
The rays of her sun reflected on puddles that caught my attention
She kissed my skin on a June afternoon
While her trees shaded the perfected bronze
That's how she paints
Her tune isn't familiar to most
But the twigs do sway to her breeze
And the water ripples through her songs
And that's how she sings
Sometimes she's sad
Her blue skin dilutes to a dullness and she weeps
She can't control her actions
Bringing life to death in a blink of an eye
And she gets hurt by you and I, which makes her tense
The reflections of her ocean aren't strong enough to remind her of her beauty
And as Autumn peaks it's head, her nervousness grows strong
Stale and withered her limbs become
Pale and frigid her surface grows
Her wind is strong enough to tear a heart
And that's how she dances
But she's still a slither of perfection

Sometimes I try (better than art)
To be a normal boy that you want me to be
But I'm sorry, baby, I can't




'Cause I'm an alien boy
I'm an alien boy

I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin on a June afternoon


While her trees shaded the perfected bronze
The trees provided a bronze-colored shade


That's how she paints
That is how the universe creates beauty


Her tune isn't familiar to most
The universe's way of functioning is not understood by many


But the twigs do sway to her breeze
Nature responds to the universe's influence


And the water ripples through her songs
The universe's movement creates ripples in the water


And that's how she sings
That is how the universe creates its own music


Sometimes she's sad
The universe can sometimes be melancholic


Her blue skin dilutes to a dullness and she weeps
The sky becomes gray and it rains


She can't control her actions
The universe cannot always control its own processes


Bringing life to death in a blink of an eye
The universe has the power to give and take life quickly


And she gets hurt by you and I, which makes her tense
The universe is affected by human actions, which can make it uneasy


The reflections of her ocean aren't strong enough to remind her of her beauty
The universe's natural beauty is sometimes underappreciated

Plants and trees lose their leaves and become dry


Pale and frigid her surface grows

Her wind is strong enough to tear a heart
Strong wind can cause damage


And that's how she dances
That is how the universe engages in its own form of dance


Sometimes I try (better than art)
I attempt to improve myself


To be a normal boy that you want me to be
I try to be what others want me to be


But I'm sorry, baby, I can't
I am unable to comply with those expectations


'Cause I'm an alien boy
I am different from the norm


I'm an alien boy
I am unorthodox


By the end of it all, I'll be speeding on a cosmic freeway
At the end of it all, I will move quickly towards a greater reality


Yeah, yeah
This is repeated for emphasis
