this song sounds like a slow dance on a rain drop falling in slow motion into a circus. it is sooo beautiful. i think this song is about true friendship (which, of course, includes love) and how much the things (good and bad) that happen to your true friends can affect you and nearly crush you. i feel that way about my son and i think of him every time i hear this song. to see him go through his triumphs and near misses and failures and only really being able to watch him and listen to him because they are his experiences. you can't go make that girl fall back in love with him or turn the wheel of the car or kill the spider before it bites. it's about acceptance of that lack of control you have over the pain someone you love goes through. and that's what makes it dreamy and delicious.
You wonderfully describe this song. A slow dance on a raindrop falling in slow motion into a circus...yes, yes, yes! You're brilliant, marry me! On another note, I love how love is portrayed in this song. I remember falling in love and the level of devotion that, in hindsight, was consuming me. I truly was completely swept off my feet. The Flaming Lips articulate emotions in a way I can't begin to explain. What a gem of a band.
