Ok, I love this band just as much as anyone else here they're seriously one of my favorite bands. Not to downplay their genius but isn't this song just about the beauty of sex? "I feel your racing heart, my liquid silver arms extended"? "These waves aren't far apart ( an orgasm on its way?)" Just reread it think of a lot of it with sexual undertones and you might get it. I hope I don't get too many angry replies for this but it still makes it a great song. I think they're talking about how it can carry you so far away like to another dimension."While we drifted we were one" like one flesh. "Ceilings lifted walls were gone" Restrictions, confinements, inhibitions forgotten. "Stuck together, I don't like revealing secrets I'll live inside your lips if you won't laugh" This reminds of the cliche post coital time were couples tend to talk or want to talk. The man is saying as he's holding her or vise versa they're not willing to open up just yet but they are willing to listen intently if that's ok. and of course some of the more obvious lines, "Either there's a purpose Or I'm heading out at breakfast Take a drink, take a drag One more coffee, ugly hat No more mirrors, woolen bag And I am gone". That part strikes me as an ultimatum after good sex. Either that meant something to you or I should probably get going. It's timid, it's confusing, unsure but absolutely beautiful. It's unlike anything else we can experience alone or with another person and they chose to write a song and represent something so human as making love into something superhuman about us. But that's just my guess. |
