Where is my mind song interpretation

For one thing, Black is well known for adding Spanish lyrics into Pixies songs. Upon returning from Puerto Rico, Black officially dropped out of college. Perhaps not surprisingly, the ad only got one reply. It was from a young woman named Kim Deal, who ended up joining the group. She soon brought her friend Dave Lovering into the band as a drummer.

Right away, The Pixies started getting a lot of notice. The first Pixies release, Come On Pilgrim , was essentially remixes of recordings from their demo The Purple Tape , and it featured many of the lyrical twists and innovative song structures that still characterize the Pixies today.

The release got hot overseas, though it didn't get much attention in the United States. Very soon after the release of Come On Pilgrim , the band worked with producer Steve Albini to create Surfer Rosa ; they recorded it in only a week. It's Albini who's credited with giving the album its harsh, muscular, live sound, and who used tactics such as "putting Charles' [Black's] voice through a guitar, to make it sound all grisly," as Deal told Melody Maker in at that time, she was calling herself Mrs.

John Murphy. The album received reviews like this one, from Q magazine, documented in Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies : "The 13 tracks have short, uncomfortable titles but lyrics that go beyond the usual black nihilism into personal enigma Not gelling their act together is almost certainly part of the whole point of Pixies, but if they're not careful they could have a bright future in front of them.

The songs range from the driving rock and grinding guitar lead of opener, "Bone Machine," to the snarling "Something Against You," to the unpredictable musical changes of "Vamos," and, of course, the simple pop melody of "Where is My Mind? How did Black explain this wide array of styles? He told Melody Maker that, "Well, you want to be different from other people, sure, so you throw in as many arbitrary things as possible. How does "Where is My Mind? Let's hear what Black has to say about it :.

What happened was, she poked her head out of the bathroom and said, 'That's a good one. Finish that one. I get probably one request every couple of months for that song to be used in some way. I can't explain it to you; I just think the song is likeable. Lyrics Artists add. Where Is My Mind?

Pixies Comments 0 Tags. Ooh, stop Ooh Ooh With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse But there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself Where is my mind? Where is my mind? Way out in the water See it swimming I was swimming in the Caribbean Animals were hiding behind the rock Except the little fish Bump into me, swear he's Tryin' a talk to me, say wait wait Where is my mind?

Way out in the water See it swimming With your feet on the air and your head on the ground Try this trick and spin it, yeah Your head will collapse If there's nothing in it And you'll ask yourself Where is my mind? Add Your Thoughts Comments. Dont just fuck around and tolerate it, do something about it. Cause, honestly, what have you got to lose? Animals hiding behind rocks is a metaphor, obviously, as much is everything he says.

Make everything hes saying opposite. Animals become people, savages of our world today, businessmen, cut-throats, up in your face trying to use you and luring you with advertisements, etc.

The little fish, the people you dont really fuckin know or care to, nor will the rest of the world, are the everyday people. When said exactly opposite, your life is perfect. The scavengers are gone, away, hiding, but not the cool, chill, honest living person you see everyday. Top 5 all time lyrics. SongInterpreter on April 07, Link. There was an error. SongInterpreter dude that is a ridiculous stretch.

No evidence to support these connections you are making. The song is about scubadiving plain and simple. You'll be miles away thinking about a beautiful experience you had. I plan on doing exactly this before I die.
