Only When I Lose Myself

But he says

It’s only when I lose myself in someone else Then I find myself I find myself

Something beautiful is happening inside for me Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery I feel hypnotized, I feel paralized I have found heaven

I feel this song describes what being in love, madly in love, is. It might seem wrong, but it isn't. There might be thousand reasons why it seems you should not be together, but they are not important, because in your heart you feel it's the right thing.

It’s only when I lose myself in someone else Then I find myself

Love is about taking risks, about losing control and giving yourself to another person.You can't always try to be in control of everything. There's a happiness in feeling this hypnotizing, overwhelming feeling of love. :)

I cry everytime I listen to it! It reminds me a guy that I MUST forget!!

well said, nightandday! :)

oh, and Dave belongs in my velvet heaven. ;)

sorry, I couldn't help it!

Great song and a great video as well...if anyone ever saw it, it was based on a series of paintings where people who died in car crashes come back to life. Freaky, to say the least, but fits their gloominess.

This should have been placed on "Ultra", but somehow ended up as a separate single...

As for a meaing - it seems to be about love, but might have a double meaning:

I can feel the emptiness inside me fade & disappear There's a feeling of content that now you are here

Maybe its about love akin to drug - you know, the chemistry and all that stuff. When its gone, you start to feel withdrawal symptoms, so Dave is obviously painting good parallels to drug use.

Has anyone else considered this to be a song about infedelity?

"It’s only when I lose myself in someone else Then I find myself I find myself"

When we meet someone new, we feel that they really understand us. Loosing yourself in somone to discover how they see you allows you to see "find" yourself.

"Something beautiful is happening inside for me Something sensual, it's full of fire and mystery I feel hypnotized, I feel paralized I have found heaven"

This is the butterflies, the excitment of someone new. It's sensual, new, etc. It's addicting, paralizing.

"There’s a thousand reasons Why I shouldn't spent my time with you For every reason not to be here I can think of two Keep me hanging on Feeling nothing’s wrong Inside your heaven"

You shouldn't be there, your cheating, but you can't draw yourself away from that perfect place.

"I can feel the emptiness inside me fade & disappear There's a feeling of content that now you are here I feel satisfied I belong inside Your velvet heaven"

The feeling you had with your partner perhaps what led you to cheat. There is a sense of belonging with this new person.

"Did I need to sell my soul For pleasure like this Did I have to lose control To treasure your kiss Did I need to place my heart In the palm of your hand Before I could even start To understand"

Selling your soul is the risk of being unfaithful. Loosing control, giving your heart to feel loved again.

It's a song about longing for someone, even when you know that loving them might not be right. To me it's one of the most sensual songs I've heard.

i feel like crying when i listen to this song

Yeah this has a lot of meaning for me too....loving someone who is out of bounds is a nightmare...been there and done that.

Gosh, I so agree with Nightandday - that feeling of being in love is what's the issue here. When you are prepared to give youyr life for that love - even knowing that you may only experience this for a week, a month, a year! "Are you prepared to die for love"? That is what the attraction to the Velvet Heaven is.

It's actually a gift from God and we are very fortunate to experience, those who do. And those who do will always have a language barrier with those who have not.

It's all about feeling people, even feeling crap is 1000 times better than feeling nothing.
