Lost… alone…
Neither skin nor bone
Just a thought is all I’ve got
Now my cover’s blown
At the bottom of a lake
Of frozen feeling
When my friends pull me back up
I started…
Healing, healing
Now I can feel out the galaxy
And hear the flow of time
Been so tense, but now I sense
A reason to this rhyme
Oh, I can smell the universe
And I can taste the sky
And I can see each molecule through my cosmic eye
(cosmic eye) (comic eye) (cosmic eye) (cosmic eye)
Senses are the magic keys
They fill the holes I’ve had
Unlocking all my memories
Which are never, never…
Bad
Oh I can feel out the galaxy
And here the flow of time
Been so tense, but now I sense
The reason to this rhyme
And I can smell the universe
And I can taste the sky
I can see each molecule through my cosmic eye
I can (oooh) feel out the galaxy
And here the flow of time
Been so tense, but now I sense
A reason to this rhyme
I can smell the universe
And I can taste the sky
And I can see each molecule…
Senses are the magic keys
They fill the hole I’ve had
Unlocking all my memories
Which are never, never…
Bad
Exploring the Depths of Cosmic Awareness
“Cosmic I” by Black, Jack dives into a journey of isolation, transformation, and sensory awakening. The lyrics paint the picture of someone who begins “lost…alone,” stripped of their physical form and left only with their thoughts. This sense of emptiness is contrasted by the uplifting power of friendship, as the protagonist is “pulled back up” and begins to heal. As the song progresses, the senses become gateways to a deeper understanding—the ability to “feel out the galaxy,” “smell the universe,” and “taste the sky” suggests a cosmic rebirth and newfound connection to the universe. The chorus, with its references to the “cosmic eye,” emphasizes this expanded perception, hinting at enlightenment and self-discovery through embracing one’s senses and memories.
