Lyrics:Subliminal

As I got hit by a car there was a message for me
As I went through the windshield, I noticed something

Subliminal (subliminal)
In an unnoticeable way
Important (important)
And hard to see
Subliminal (subliminal)
Subliminal (subliminal)

While lying there in my bed there was a message for me
As I went through the pillow, I noticed something

Subliminal (subliminal)
In an unnoticeable way
Important (important)
And hard to see
Subliminal (subliminal)
Subliminal (subliminal)
