(Ohh, yeah)

Chained, my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure
A pleasure that will take my mind apart of the reality of my life..
My past life..
Life as I know it know!

And whatever may come it slowly disappears
to somewhere in the back of my mind.
It will remain there until I wish to retrieve it!

(yeah, ooh)

Yes I will stay here for awhile for I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
and everything that lay in the palm of life's hands
ohh, life's hands!

This mode is incredible!
It's out of this world,
Too bad I must always leave it.
But that's life

That's life (x3)
Yes! (x3)

Ooh, yes!

    General Comment:TO me this song is about the life and reality of my life I escape from everyday.
    For me this escape comes mainly via my computer and music, apart from alcohol, weed and masturbation sometimes. For example I am listening to Gently right now and I love it! I love the songs that explain my life and its pain because there is no way I could explain them to someone in reality.

    General Comment:Shank, I agree with you. Though for me, it's lacing up the skates for my school hockey team. Gets my mind off everything for 2 hours after school.
