Letra de It Overtakes Me Explained
One two, one two three fourThis song started out as a, not as a joke, but as this kind of strange songwriters' exercise That I suppose all songwriters do in times of panic and desperation I was thinking of writing a song for Gwen Stefani Not seriously thinking, just thinking you get in your head that it's her singing it Just Gwen Stefani, not Gwen Stefani or Britney Spears, right? Just Gwen StefaniYeah, and I think it was based along the idea of "Hollaback Girl", something like that But thinking, maybe I could do a song like that Not really thinking I'd give it to her, but just gives another frame of reference or something And when I first started the song, I honestly called it "I Like to Masturbate and Think about Outer Space" And I thought it would be a great song for Gwen Stefani to do I can see the video already Exactly!And you know, so you don't really, I don't really take it serious or anything But then after hearing the daw, I thought that sounds like something, that could be kinda fun But then, not the, not the masturbate and outer space thing I thought that doesn't really apply to me singing the song so well So I think as it went, we sorta changed it into kind of a some sort of anxiety, some sort of fear What I call 'the cosmic reality'Now you've probably heard me talk about this before The cosmic reality to me is where you think about your actual, physical place in the universe And how we're actually floating in space And you know, you get used to thinking you're staying here in a house And the sun goes up and the sun goes down But there is times when I really think about how fragile our existence is As we're hurling through this endless vast black universeI'm actually breaking out in sweat just talking about it So maybe I just should move on Anyway I think the song ends up Maybe it's a stretch to say it's a cross between maybe "Holloback Girl" And maybe say "1969" by The Stooges or something like thatAnd a song called "Ride Write Horse" by the band called Laid Back Oh you're right Check it out Yeah, I remember that we did kinda mess with that a little bit, you're right yeah! Hey it's a lot fun, it goes like this
