This song is a criticism about fandoms and being obsessed with fictional characters. People try to escape the reality of their lives by surrounding themselves in fantasy media and all that jazz. It is detrimental to their well being and mental state, as people begin losing priorities in life when they are engrossed in their fantasies.
I am not a poet. I am a plane.
lyrics
I'm the master of my own atmosphere
poke it with a spear
and nothing will happen, dear
I'm the master of my own air
what surrounds me I control
the trees and it all
I happens in my head
Oh, but its real to me
oh, why can't you see
Delusions of grandeur
Im on a plane
I am the plane
A different plane of existence
In my dreams I am tall, dark,
handsome, skinny, reliable, sociable,
admirable,
loved, loved, loved, loved,
and all of the above.
I have a power to destroy (Power issues, not employed)
A power to destroy the world (Problem, Issues, get destroyed)
And kill monsters in my way (Run away from problems, Run)
And getting all of the girls (Nah, Nah, Life ain't no fun)
My heart bursts in flames
when I say the name
And when I say the name
the name speaks in tongues
oh, I don't understand
Whats the name?
Whats the name?
Was it someone I loved?
I hate playing games.
Delusions of grandeur
I'm on a plane
I am the plane
A different plane
I don't know the name
but it aint tame
its beating me lame
so much that I came close to
dying
It's all in the head
it's all in the head
its all in the head
I'm in a sea of thoughts and
I'm drowning
1,2,3,4
AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUWOW
I have voices in my head
telling me that they wanna be dead
I have voices in my head
telling me that they wanna be dead
