Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh
Time is so short and I’m sure
There must be something more
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head, oh
And since I fell for that spell
I am living there as well, oh
Time is so short and I’m sure
There must be something more
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You thought you might be a ghost
You thought you might be a ghost
You didn’t get to heaven but you made it close
You didn’t get to heaven but you, oh, oh, oh, oh
Those who are dead are not dead
They’re just living my head, oh

Dear fellow posters on metro lyrics, I know all of you are having trouble understanding 42s lyrics and why it twas named 42 but I have no trouble in giving you all my opinion and thoughts. I myself need to understand everything as I come across it like most of you it's a sickness really. So 42's lyrics really means death isn't really an end and you can be sure of that , time is so short that you can't even call it life there's got to be more and you know you going to go somewhere might not be heaven might not be he'll might not be a ghost but you know it's somewhere cause you know it's not over. 42s name may be as relevent as the Mona Lisa smile or just a mystery that coldplay hopes we'll figure out in the future

The answer is in the lyrics and most importantly in the math, why 42? well its pretty obvious to me, 4x2=8 and what do you get when you lay down the number 8? you get the universal symbol for infinity. He's figured out that we are trapped in this "reality" and we will only be free when we die. We will be trapped for infinity but infinity ends when we die. Metaphysical---- Lear about DNA and the mystery of our "origin"

If you watch CSI (the original) that's probably where. That show is the reason I looked the song up. Had never heard it before that/

I think 42 being in relation to hitchhiker's would make sense-Time is so short and I’m sure There must be something more
commander jonkks
P.S. hitchhiker's rox

I'd say the album is about war. Whyever they chose 42, it is mysterious. somehow reminds me of 'spies' from parachutes. Maybe the song is about an old soldier thinking about his dead allies and going insane.

I think 42 cannot be anything else, but the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Dougles Adams. OFF: Anyway, did you know, why has Dougles Adams chosed 42? It's just 101010 in binary system. He was the greatest humorous writer ever. Read sg from him!
