These song lyrics are definitely about some type of time travel, due especially since “time travel” are the two words described by the writer of the song’s subject, from another comment. What I get from it is the following: “no sound but the engines drone” sounds like there’re jet packs involved, beginning as just one person, per the singular form of the wording there. Because of the lines “our minds set free to roam” and “our minds bend” I thought for a moment that some kind of hallucinogenic drug may be involved (possibly sending them on this trip to “other planes”/dimensions),’but I can recognize how the experience of floating/flying around, on its own, could “free your mind”, being empty, open space, as well as “bend” it, as it would have to take a moment and a mind shift to wrap your brain around the experience of having found yourself in another “plane”/dimension, nothing there and no inhabitation, crossing “the empty skies” with no interference or interruption, except meeting this one other person, whether planned or not, which is divulged by the lyrics changing to say “as the engines stall”, being plural instead of singular (“engine’s drone”, not “drones”) as in the beginning of the song. I also wonder if the whole experience may have been actually while dreaming, since “dreaming” is mentioned twice in the lyrics (toward the beginning, and at the end), and being that “astral projection” is something that many people have experienced while sleeping, which involves leaving the body and traveling to another dimension(s)/plane(s), it fits very well. I just don’t know where jet packs or anything operated by an engine fits into any type of dreaming, which takes me back to thinking possibly hallucination. But, no matter how the experience occurred, it seems obvious to me that love or infatuation is part of the meeting with Rosemary within the experience being explained/remembered, and the biggest part, partly due to the title of the song being her name (a woman) and, it gets romantic, which is divulged in the lyrics “we slow down, as the engines stall, our eyes catch sync”, being a slow down of flying, possibly changing positions to facing each other, and they get a better look at one another within the same exact moment (sync), and then the word “explode” follows, describing what happened immediately after, being that in that moment, once their eyes has synced to one another, was the moment of simultaneously falling in love or realizing a deep mutual infatuation causing them both to become extremely excited, or blowing thief minds, and being the climax of the story, “explode” is an awesomely creative way to describe the moment. And if you didn’t catch the involvement of a sexual encounter, there is..... I’m assuming while flying or at least floating, he spells out the sexual encounter being included in a not so obvious way, by saying “as we collide with the energy, in other ways”.....collide means coming together in some way.....using the energy of the experience within the action......and “in other ways” would be saying sexual, without saying it. And, of course, he ends in saying “just stay with me”, as he obviously doesn’t want her to go, which also says romance, (which might lead some to think she’s an alien, as someone commented, but....quite early in the song, he says “we discover the entry, to other planes” which describes the two finding the “other planes”/dimensions together, or at the same time, and the word “entry” being singular, so not likely two different entries at opposite locations or anything like that), but brings me back to the possibility of the experience occurring while dreaming or in a hallucinogenic state, since it’s evident that he’s aware that the particular time together with her will soon be coming to an end, of which he wishes would never come. (If you look up “astral projection”, aka astral travel, soul journey, soul wandering, spiritual journey, spiritual travel, you’ll see that it’s described as an out of body experience, as a spirit or perhaps a body of light, occurring consciously but functioning separately from the physical body and traveling to other dimensions, also called astral "planes", as in the song, which occurs during ones sleep. So maybe Chino has experienced this, dreamt it, or wishes for it to happen). In any sense, this song is phenomenal and a true work of art....I love it! |
