I know that the song is kind of poetic, but I fail to interpret this part. What do you think it means?
009SoundSystem Born To Be Wasted
Oh, the rock's not gonna stop, so let's rip it up
The beats are gonna
drop, you can trip em' upYour mind is on fire but it's not enough
We
were born to be wasted
Best Answer
The short song is about being on drugs, getting wasted
The refrain
is reflected in the last two lines
kicks = have fun and often means taking a recreational drug of choice
The song is referring to many things happening in the world and around the listener
Mind on fire means having one's mind in an altered state of consciousness, possibly thinking too fast, or having too many thoughts at once. These states are usually drug induced
It may be an allusion to Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf where there is a similar listing of things happening around the listener.
