Hasn't everyone felt like this one time or another? Drifting in a state of mental and emotional quiet, where thoughts and feelings seem like whispers rather than shouts...you can just let them come and go, observing them rather than trying to avoid, control or direct them. There's a hint that this may be the quietude that comes after intense emotion (the calm after the storm), but it may also be that the storm was years ago and the viewpoint character is simply seeing long-past events in a new perspective.
The word "reverie" is defined as both "a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing" and as "an instrumental piece suggesting a dreamy or musing state." I adore how this song seems to evoke both meanings.
