Fight club scene
Never mind what the psychologists might tell you, Fight Club is about breaking away from the matrix of consumerism and the programmed mind, it’s about finding out who you are. But you can see the movie, if you haven’t, and figure that out. (Some say the book is better. I haven’t read it yet) What I want to discuss here is the song that is played during the end credits: Where is my mind? by The Pixies. Check the lyrics:
Where is My Mind? by The Pixies
Ooooooh – stop
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head’ll collapse
If there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind [3x]
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’
I was swimmin’ in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except for little fish
when they told me, east is west
Trying to talk to me, coy koy
Where is my mind [3x]
Way out in the water
See it swimmin’ ?
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head’ll collapse
If there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind [3x]
Ooooh
With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh
We can ask this question trying to figure out the mind’s actual location. (Is it in the brain?) Or we can ask it trying to figure out why is it running away in senseless wanderings. (Where is it going?) Either way, it is an excellent question to ask in many instances. Where is my mind? Another good question is: Who am I? We should find out. Don’t you think?
