Kundalini Express
Love And Rockets · Other Songs - Love And Rockets
For the transcendental run
The train now standing
Leaves for higher planes
Due to a derailment
There will be no other train
So why not hop on this one?
Hear the porter's glad refrain
Each carriage is connected
As is every single train
The rails all form a track
Which is a link within a chain
The chain's connected
To another chain now
You will need no ticket
If you wish to ride on this train
All aboard the express Kundalini
All aboard the express Kundalini
All aboard the express Kundalini
The song is in your heart
Your heart is in the song
The song is of the earth
The song is of the sky
You are disintegrating
Into everything around
Reintegrating
The worm we dug from higher ground
You have let go of ego
Ego is no longer you
Closer to nirvana
Since the porter's whistle blew
All aboard the express Kundalini
All aboard the express Kundalini
All aboard the express Kundalini
Kundalini Express
Love And Rockets' 'Kundalini Express' stands as a quintessential example of the band's unique blend of punk energy and psychedelic experimentation. Released during the group's peak creative period, the track exemplifies their signature style, which often fused jangly guitar riffs with surreal, dreamlike atmospheres. The song reflects the band's deep interest in Eastern mysticism and countercultural themes, a recurring motif in their discography that distinguished them from their contemporaries. With its driving rhythm and ethereal vocals, the recording captures the spirit of late 1970s Los Angeles music, balancing aggression with introspection. It remains a defining piece of their catalog, illustrating how Love And Rockets navigated the boundaries between punk rock and progressive rock while maintaining a distinct, eclectic identity.
