The song to me seems like a love affair as well. The line "Spacing from Paring to New York" indicates to me that the trip itself is not important (sight seeing, touring,etc) but rather the location is purely immaterial yet required for the love affair. Spacing in this context to mean that one just sits there kinda staring forward almost in a daze. "Neighbors complain, sheets are stained" (loud love making at the hotel) "People they want us to fall down" "But we won't ever tough the ground, we're perfectly balanced we'll float around" "'Til no one is near do you hear this sound" The significant other back home who suspects an affair wants the plane to crash but it's always landing just fine and never even close to crashing. This is mentioned slightly sarcastically by exaggerating how much the plane *isn't* crashing which indicates the person doing this love affair really doesn't care what the other person thinks and they are intentionally doing the opposite as *hard as they can* almost in rebellion. "Silver sunglasses silver phone Connect us to someone who doesn't know these feelings we can't control" The sun glasses were purchased by the person back home and it reminds them of the person they are cheating on, plus the phone connects them to the person who doesn't understand that this love affair isn't personal as much as a process that has to happen, they are in love with this other person and cannot control their feelings. "I miss you all the time I must face I miss your touch and your embrace" This tells me the song is about the person who they really long for (the affair partner, not the person upset back home) and confirms the "We" in this songs context is the two lovers meeting up as well. The hotel shower being the best around also hints that perhaps this is a super elegant hotel in New York and maybe this person is also living a fantasy financially. Perhaps the lover back home is broke but this exciting affair partner in New York is rich and pampering which also makes the situation seem more exciting. |

I think the line "A shattered cloud of swirling doves" is actually "A shattered cloud of swirling dust" |
