Here's a song from an open mind
I give it to you because I can
And if you're thinking that it's not that kind
It's 'cause my mood swings make me feel ashamed
It can pass the time

A girl with eyes that see a hundred years
Half remembered, this is my dream
Spinning out from where the hole appears
I've never seen her but I've got photographs
It can blow your mind

An idea falls from a porcelain sky
It won't make you rich and it won't get you high

Out of the void it comes
From an open mind
Out of the void it comes
It comes from my mind

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
