Cold mystery is a song named after a puzzling mystery of why so many people in the world prefer receiving so much of their information, inspiration, and enjoyment sitting at home watching television as opposed to going out into the world to explore and experience more elements first- hand. The song embodies a notion that reality tv and rudimentary sports events give rise to couch potatoes whom may inevitably self-destruct and feel destroyed or hurt by their own physical deterioration as a result later on in life, either by way of extreme weight gain, or perhaps the illusion that physical life is actually lived as it is shown on tv. Artistically, the song challenges american idol and its brother and sister networks as culprits that strip the rock n roll mojo from everyone who becomes too overly influenced by such programs.
While not condemning film, news, and other media stations, the song merely expresses that it remains a mystery how people seemingly end up locked into their homes or apartments on a nightly basis enchanted by a television screen as opposed to real human interaction.
lyrics
It's a cold mystery...They're in your life and in your dreams, silly things that keep you down. You gotta turn that shit off. Go be someone, it's gonna eat you alive till you're gone. It's traumatizing and you've had enough that the television is what gets you off, not the sissy girl on the reality show, nor series one through twenty four. Do you still want more? All of them won't come around to the fact that we are hanging by a string. So let us be the ones who go beyond unnecessary, ludicrous mind washing debris and trash. Yeah we can waste all of our time trying to make a more intelligent way to arrive at our final destination. Let them choose to be weak in the mind, bad dreams should be left behind. Bring rock back to when it gave the youth in all a chance to breathe. The illumination of body control is realized by where we go, the ideology of producing an idol is the filthy lie that takes away the soul. Do you still want more? 'Cause all of us won't come around so soon to the fact that we are hanging by a string. So let us be the ones who go beyond unnecessary, ludicrous mind-washing debris and trash. Yeah we can waste all of our time trying to make a more intelligent way to arrive at our final destination. Let them choose to stay weak in the mind, bad dreams should be left behind...
