This is such a beautiful & haunting piano/synth intro. Not a lot of lyrics to work with as far as an interpretation, but it makes sense in an abstract kind of way.
I get the impression of being haunted by a person, or having a crush/relationship that is steeped in romantic idealism ... so that seeing them suddenly "appear" somewhere, or maybe seeing their face come into focus in a crowd of people, is enough to make you feel completely lost ("Where are we?" maybe some existential angst tied in there as well).
Being around this person is an experience of heightened emotional sensitivity, but at the same time its terrifying ... the "Where are we?" in the background seems to also connote confusion or uncertainty, but you hope that this person could somehow "save you."
We all want something or someone to come along and save us & turn everything to gold, right?
It's obvious that I'm projecting some of my own feelings onto this, but these are the emotions it stirs up for me. I guess the lyrics are so thin, many meanings could to be applied. There is this girl I see out every now & then, and when I look at her face, I instinctively think something along the lines of "Where are we? SAVE ME!" ...
