In my opinion, this song is about a higher up in a record label who initially perused a sexual relationship with a potential artist for the soul purpose of getting them to sign with their record label. (Slowly shifting, gently drifting
In your arms, I'm quietly breathing)
The musician is clearly eager to sign with the label, they are yearning for this deal as it could pull them out of poverty, they’re a daydreamer and are willing to do anything (including sleeping with a higher up) to do this, in a way, they think they’re manipulating the higher up, when the opposite is in fact true. (Silent dreaming, thinking, yearning
Hoping for a better journey
Understanding what I'm planning
You're so blind, you flounder drowning)
the higher up knows the musician could become famous and, knowing the artist personally, they know the musician will be unable to cope with the fame, as they are all ready on drugs and have fainted in the past due to heavy usage. (Moving closer, floating over
Sinking into seas of color
Feeling lighter, darker, brighter
Consciousness begins to falter)
However, the higher up begins to develop romantic feelings for the musician, and call them nicknames like ‘daydreamer’. Knowing that they will be unable to cope with fame, they wonder if they should decide against signing them. (Holding you I start to wonder
Pull you out or drag you under)
