Send "Hotel" Ringtone to Cell

Dissapear like I come in your world,
Five is a number that I dream about.
It looks like it could've been time,
but that is a world that i dream about.

Don't forget to follow your way down.
Oh, I think you'd like your life when you came down.
Oh, I love the lights that don't turn you to face it all.
Oh, you can marry my mom but..
But you can't get the feel on time

Dissapear like I come in your world,
Five is a number that i dream about.
Sleek, looks like a Mexican Sun,
But god is a word that i dream about.

Don't forget to follow your way down.
Oh, I think you'd like your life when you came down.
Oh, I love the lights that don't turn you to face it all.
Oh, you can marry my mom but..
But you can't get the feel on time

    My Interpretation:Honestly this song sounds extremely dreamy. I love the reversed synth melody in the back round, and the whispered vocals give me chills. I really just think Kevin was trying to be really non-cohesive because the lyrics really fit with the spacious and mellow song.

    My Opinion:disappear like a cord in a wall
    five is a number that i dream about
    lick looks like it could've been tongue
    but love is a word that i dream about

    oh, i think it's a far ways down
    oh, i think you liked your life when it came down
    oh, i love the lights that don't turn you to face it all(fears at all?)
    you can nearly(?) remember, but you can't get the feel

    but somethingsomething the time(?)

    disappear like a cord in a wall
    five is a number that i dream about
    slick(?) looks like a mescaline sun
    but god is a word that i dream about
    oh, i think it's a far ways down
    oh, i think you liked your life when you came down
    oh, i love the lights that don't turn you to face it all
    oh, you can nearly remember, but you can't get the feel

    oh, somethingsomething's the time somethingsomething (?)

    took you down like a deck of cards
    whisper
    whisper (closer, closer)
    whisper(look at me, look at me, look at me?)

    some of the lines are overdubbed with her voice so it's insanely hard to understand

    General Comment:I don't like how no one has even tried to understand the end of the song...it sound like "took a dive with a dirty girl, say no no no to the empty, what comes out in goes more" Oh and at the very begining of the song it sounds like hes whispering something under his breath kinda sounds like numbers...i think the song is about having children/marriage and the other person not wanting it(remember this song was supposed to be song by fiest so think in a girl perspective)...first line is pretty much inaudible come in your world the rest sound right...also another sound that goes unnoticed when it says you can't get the feel around 3 mins it says something like "over my need"...

    slick looks like a
    but calm is a word that i dream about

    General Comment:i think this song is sooo sexy. i love the "oh" at the beginning of the lines in the chorus and the breathy way their deliver...mmmm! and since you can't be too sure sometimes with broken social scene lyrics, that helps!

    General Comment:I originally thought that the line: "oh you can mind the mind book but you can't get the feel" sounded like "you can learn the mambo, but you can't get the feel" What's "the mind book" referring to?

    General Comment:"You can marry my mom" is wrong. It sounds like, "You can marry the man in the moon, but you can't the feel.."

    General Comment:The little guitar melody at the very end of the song sounds a lot like the melody in Feist's 'One Evening'...

    I love the snare-heavy beats and the mystery electronica. Reminds me of fuzzy neon signs at night.
