This is another one of those songs that perfectly seems to sum up how I'm feeling. I was listening to it on Wednesday as I had a little emotional *blah* to a very close friend. I realised the sound of it, her tone, the sounds of the words, as well as the lyrics themselves, the whole thing came together to paint a picture, to paint the emotion I couldn't seem to grasp. A lot of her songs are like that.
Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state
A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
Until I realise that it was you who held me under
Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids
Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack
All around the world was waking, I never could go back
Cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open
And finally it seemed that the spell was broken
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards
Silence slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuitboard
No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone
No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
Snow White's stitching up the circuitboards
Silence slipping through the hidden door
Snow White's stitching up your circuitboard
Silence slipping through the hidden door

Oh I love it, reminds me of Cosmic Love, with the drum beats.
definitely one of the better songs on the album.
if you like all her music you should check out a fine frenzy's bomb in a birdcage album, it's so lovely.
