This song is literally about an out of body experience, and reminded me of Sappho’s poem when she describes herself losing her senses while looking at a pair of lovers.

It’s been so long, I’ve been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
She took me to a place where my senses gave-way
Turn it ’round, shut it down, what the people say
Climbing up, killing time, gonna give you some,
Take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it…
Take it back when she knows that you’re doing it right
‘Cause everybody else knows what they’re taking tonight
But I just wanna play it right,
We are gonna get there tonight
It’s been so far, I’ve been walking the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars, we are coming home
I only had a taste but we’re out of time
We have sold in the cold, physical design
Set me free, set me out on the run
Lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the…
We are burning down, we are burning down
It’s the way that you fake it, I know it’s too late
But I just want to play it right,
We are gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down,
We are gonna bring you ’round
