One of the few songs off of Psycho Circus that the returning original members Peter Criss and Ace Frehley perform on. The song’s meaning is easy to understand. It describes the descent into insanity and the confusion on the journey downward.
[Verse 1]
I'm losing power, and I don't know why
Not really sure if I'll live or die
I want to leave, but I can't get away
It's a strange sensation
Out of control being by myself
I feel this gravitation
Caught like a magnet, and I'm being pulled
[Chorus]
(Into the void)
I want to get away, get away
(Into the void)
I'm being pulled, I'm being pulled down
(Into the void)
This place is spinning, spinning me 'round
(Into the void)
Feel like I'm being pulled into a black hole
[Verse 2]
This crazy feeling's screwing with my head
I'm overloading, and my gauges are red
State of confusion's got a hold on me
I feel a hesitation
I'm being drugged, fallen out of the track
Don't like the situation
Caught like a magnet, and I'm being pulled
[Chorus]
(Into the void)
I want to get away, get away
(Into the void)
My head is spinning, spinning me 'round 'round
(Into the void)
This force is getting, getting stronger
(Into the void)
Feel like I'm being pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)
I'm being pulled, being pulled down down down down
I want to get away
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
(Into the void)
Don't like this feeling, I'm being pulled down
(Into the void)
I want to get away, get away
(Into the void)
Feel like I'm spinning, spinning around
(Into the void)
I'm being pulled, being pulled down down down down
(Into the void)
Get away, get away
(Into the void)
Feel like I'm being pulled into a black hole
(Into the void)
