Quite Unusual Lyrics

The sun went down and the ground started sort
of grinding
A blinding light tore across the sky
A cyclone swept the landscape out and left it
completely flattened out
And several twirls of smoke unfolded like gigantic
flowers

The way the morning broke was quite unusual

I should have wakened up at once, but this was no
concern of mine, so I kept on dreaming

My eyes roamed over the burning ruins

In less time than it takes to tell

And I felt like
And I felt like being numbed,
I felt like mesmerized

The way the morning broke was quite unusual
More than words can say

In less time than it takes to tell

What I feel and always thought was that this song is about dreaming in ways.

The way the morning broke was quite unusual

That weird, strange feeling you get when you wake up from a strange dream that you can't stop thinking about and doesn't make much sense but its stuck in your brain. Its with you for the better part of the day.

In less time than it takes to tell

You know there's a point or a conclusion but you just can't find it.

I should have wakened up at once, But this was no concern of mine, So I kept on dreaming

Might have been better if you did just wake and won't.

And I felt like And I felt like being numbed, I felt like mesmerized

Waking up and trying to hard to fool yourself that you can fall back asleep and continue the dream....to either figure it out or to enjoy it.

The rest I believe is part of the lyric writers personal dreams.

This is my interpretation of the song and I'm sticking with it. It's what it means to me. I could be wrong by the writer but its mine.
