Lyrics for Clincally Dead as interpreted by ApplesInMono

Clincally Dead Lyrics
Clinically he was dead
But the motor inside his head was still working
So they plugged him into a machine
And let his brain dream

But people cannot tell you
There's no way around it
People cannot tell you
There's no life without that

And it's another prank call
In the middle of the night
And it's a silver white moon
And it still shines bright
And it's another prank call
Why don't you put up a fight
And dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Clinically I was dead
But the modem inside my head was still working
So they put me into a machine
And let my brain dream

So people cannot tell you
There's no way around it
And people cannot tell you
That there's no life without that

And it's another prank call
In the middle of the night
And it's a silver white moon
And it still shines bright
And it's another prank call
Why don't you put up a fight
And dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Great song. It brings in the new futurist conception of eternal life through 'brain in a tank' science fiction. Really interesting imagery. It argues against those who believe that life dies with the brain. Actually, Chad argues, it doesn't. As long as some motor, some cognitive spark still "dreams on", you can live on. And maybe get hacked by prankster kids, making you see a light at the end of a tunnel!

This has nothing to do with this song but I saw a video for the song "Hot Red Drops" by Chad and have no idea where to find the song at. If anyone knows I'd appreciate the info.

i like the first comment meaning, but it doesn't have to be a furturistic thing. i was thinking he was talking about whether or not someone should pull the plug on someone that's living off a machine. i think he's saying that you're still there, even though you're just dreaming, so "put up a fight".
