The song is about being surprised how easy it is to move on from someone, even though you thought they meant so much to you.
Um, to the stoners above, 'keeping your head in the clouds' is an old phrase related to daydreaming, not smoking weed.. :/ I sincerely doubt they intended any of this to be drug related lol.
Wow, Yumi,there are far too many "quotations" in that reply. Wait, how do I do it? That's so "90's"?

Please show me these 'facts' which show that the only perspective Elly could have been coming from was one of 'magic' and I'll happily concede.

'Anyways', no point in responding to the literal-minded 'moron'. Go back to listening to 'Empire of the Sun' and leave the goof bands to 'stoners' like us.

Yeah, it is pretty annoying when incessant drug addicts try argue my own personal interpretation of the lyrics actually. Not to mention unnecessarily pick on elements of how I type it. Seriously, GROW UP.

The facts are you need only know a little history about magic/mysticism to see she was making intentional analogies to magic act cliches... escape acts, levitation etc. Oh please, "only perspective" ? We all know they're open to interpretation, so lay off already.

In regards to your interpretation of the song being correct purely due to it being a personal opinion, I wholeheartedly agree. However, a few of your words seem to contradict that fact.

You would probably like Empire of the Sun. Far too highbrow for me, of course. I wonder if Lady Gaga would be considered 'high brow'...?

It's all about illusion and magic pretty much.
Elly does admit to smoking weed when she was really depressed so yeah it is about drugs, sorry.

Even if one were to read it as being about drugs, it'd simply point out that they don't fix anything, rather entrap and delude you. :)

Anyways, no point in responding to stoners who probably call 'drugs' on any lyric with 'smoke' in them. Hahah.
