Fourth Dimension

Love is an old invention. It was made long before any of us were here. And when you're in love your in another universe, another dimension, it feels so different, is probably how she feels. She's saying it feels that "We've touched the Fourth Dimension" We fell into this thing called love.

The actual meaning behind this song is about love, as stated by LIGHTS. It is easy to identify the lyrics with love when you look into them.

"Here's to such an old invention Dear, we touched the fourth dimension" - Love has been around for so long it is known as an 'old invention' to LIGHTS. It is in a whole 'nother dimension.

I really like that take on it. About love. But I think it's more in the realm of sex. Here's my take on it. Also, some lyrics are wrong, so as I go I'll be putting in corrections, capping the right word

"I could take steps...Look at my breath and still feel the warm out"

Orgasms make you warm, so even if it's cold you still feel warmth.

"Only show STARS in my toes and my thumbs"

I think this is more how when you tense up during sex and your toes curl. For girls anyway. Thumbs too I guess. Fingers in general really.

"You becomes us and makes three"

This one is kind of a no brainer. During sex, two people (you) become one (us) and makes three (potential baby)

"Here's to such an old invention, dear we touched the fourth dimension"

Now, how the previous comment stated, yes love is an old invention, but sex is just as old. Also, yes love is an out of world experience, but the lyrics say TOUCHED the fourth dimension. Love is constant, sex is only for a short time. Now if she had said "dear we're IN" rather than touched, I'd totally agree it was about love. But this more leans toward sex.

I'm going to skip most of the next verse, mostly because it's kind of hard to interpret, UNTILL the last two lines: "This isn't for the weak hearts, but everyone's here at some part"

Kind of taking about more literal look at it rather than the metaphors from the last lines. Sex is bad for you when you have a bad heart. Like, when someone has a heart attack, they are told to not have sex for awhile. Everyone's here at some part. Everyone has sex. Eventually. Unless you die before you can.

This line is really just an addition to what the beginning of the chorus says, I'm only adding it because it's wrong The second part of the second go through the chorus is "CHEERS to such an old invention" not tears. Although, if it were tears, it could add to my theory, some people cry after orgasming. But yeah, it's cheers.

"Here's an honorable mention"

I think this more leans toward, she's only mentioning it. A lot of her other songs have to do with love, so this wouldn't really be a mention. Since it's possibly about sex, she doesn't have any other songs about the subject, so now it's more of a mention.

I could go on to talk about "I'm on moons and clouds.."etc, but it's more or less the same.

Like I said, I could be completely wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is what it's about. Really, it may be about both love and sex.

Just found this!! "So i got to meet Lights again! At the end of me talking to her I said we were trying to figure out the meaning to Fourth Dimension on the forums, and this was her exact response "Love, and how we dont understand it it, like the fourth dimension."

Oh, forgot to mention. Dubstep has been sort of considered to be orgasmic before. If you read youtube comments on dubstep music, you can read a few that say something along those lines. She has dubstep throughout a lot of this album, but this song has, what I consider, the most intense dubstep sequence in the entire album. It could relate. Not sure though. Just something I thought I should add.
