  General Comment:I love the part where she is speaking ... her voice is so lovely. It's a combination of sexy, soothing and cute all at the same time. I melt when she says, "Hold me tight."

  General Comment:Alright, so I didn't realize it for a while but this song is definitely talking about a DMT trip. I base this opinion solely on the spoken word part where she is talking about walking through the streets. Read below for correct lyrics. Anyone who has ever done DMT, salvia, or one of the more powerful hallucinogens knows exactly what she means when she says "the shape of an original dream", not mutual dream. Stay calm and hold on tight are about the only things you can try and do once these substances onset. The purple and mellow shape. It's what you see and how you feel when you feel at one with everything. That ego death experience when all you see and know is completely alien and brand new but comforting at the same time. You have no idea what you're experiencing but you're totally at peace with it. As I said, you'd have to have done it to fully grasp the concept of this song. I wanted to share once I figured out what they were saying because I thought it was pretty neat. See below for correct lyrics
  
  What you seek I feel, when I, when I, take it with you.
  What you seek I see, when I, when I, take it with you.
  Somewhere else, somewhere, somewhere else.
  Somewhere else, somewhere, somewhere else.
  
  What you seek I feel, when I, when I'm, kissing you(?)
  Somewhere else, somewhere, somewhere else.
  Somewhere else, somewhere, somewhere else.
  
  We're walking through the streets, or what's left of them.
  I take your hand and the city is slowly vanishing
  There's no crowd anymore, no cars, no signals
  But in the middle of it all a purple and mellow shape is floating,
  the shape of an original dream.
  Stay calm, hold on tight, give it a chance to take us away (I prefer chance to take flight, though that's not what's said)
  
  In the night, in a dream or a shadow I awoke
  In the night, in a dream or a shadow I awoke.
