Lyric discussion by carl0s 

I took it to mean and end to monotomy. This kiss, this party. They are wonderful, and when they finish, they start right again, and NOTHING CHANGES. No monotomoy, no familiarity, no tiredness or boredom. Still as amazing as the first time.

Of course, the song itself does sound dysphoric. I feel like I ought to cry. The words are happy (by my understanding of them) but the melodies are sad.

Just been listening to this song which I've loved for years. I have always understood it in the exact way you describe - like being frozen in a happy moment with no fear of change or things going wrong but it never gets boring because how your feelings never change either. I can't stop crying now, David Byrne is so damn insightful.

It's much nicer indeed to take this song not as an ironic accusation of heaven as a boring place, but as a wonderful place where nothing NEEDS to happen in order to make it perfect. This song is about enlightenment.
