A couple things:

  1. The first line is 'stems and gears', not 'sands and gears'. Other than that the lyrics seem to be correct.

  2. As far as I can tell, the song is either meaningless innocent surrealism or it's talking about a place to go and be in peace when life is confusing and scary ("Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain/There's an underwater Ferris wheel/Where I found the missing link to this island chain"). He's probably talking about heaven/being in God's grace, but those who have a problem with religion can take it any way they want.

My Interpretation

To me , it's about the cozy place you can go to , to work on something interesting, without being disturbed or judged by anyone.

I can really relate to it , because i do the same thing.

This place really feels a home because, you feel great because you are working on something you always dreamed about . You also return to it when you feel down or hurt ( I do , anyway )

Because this place is so important , it should remain unseen , out of sight . Any project you are working on is for your eyes only , at least until it's finished.

To me...

Thanks; changed it to 'stem and gears' [:
