this song is gloomily mellow yet beautiful. it contains intriguing tones & the melody sends me into another world. it is unexpected & has an air of cold intimacy, almost claustrophobic. troubled yet soothing, mind blowing.

one interpretation which i only thought of a short while back is that this whole song may in fact be about marijuana. "she" being marijuana. it seems to work. "then i'll fly"/"walking on the moon" are common feelings associated with getting high, floating away. "you try to learn the universe/can't even converse in uni-verse" one of my favourite lines because it is so true. 'stoners' are truly innovators & they come up with some of the most amazing philosophies, but sometimes being stoned makes your conversation structure disjointed & slurred & all over the place. "follow where mary goes" was what set off this instant mary-jane, marijuana connection in me. was just a though though…

regardless of what this song is actually about, it is so tragically brilliant in its remote dance with simplicity that i can’t help but become entranced every time i listen to it.
