Its about an abusive relationship... listen to the lyrics...Kelis is right she should've gotten MORE credit for this very underrated masterpiece I bought this album 3 times
props on buying this album three times, because it is most definitely a classic, i've bought this album three times myself ....but this song is absolutely NOT about an abusive relationship, and i say that respectfully ...this song is about having an outer body experience💯 ....and it fits so well with the whole concept of the album, "suspended" track #7 on kaleidoscope...man i luv this album👍💯
@@marcelbey-el1947listen to the lyrics closely "Why do you hurt me?..."This reality Why you smile at me? Show your fallacies Dreams hold me down But let me go When reality will wake me I don't know
@@jaystevenson7232 You just summarized exactly what that person was trying to tell you, but either way, the song is resonating something within you. Every one will feel it however they want. Only Kelis could truly define its meaning. This is easily one of the best songs ever written in all of human history.
Bought this album when it came out and played it a lot. Just been going through boxes of belongings of mine from years ago including albums. This was one of the ones I dusted off and went and bought a new hi-fi to enjoy all over again 👌
This one is much higher quality than the one with more views lol. Thanks for uploading, Kelis! Your voice is beautiful, you should make a grand return with The Neptunes again and save 2020
Ahh, the song that made me buy the album decades ago. Seems the original music video either disappeared off the face of the earth or was a figment of my imagination.
Don't wake me I'm still dreaming I don't see you I can't feel you I'm alone for real in my mind I'll feel this all night When my life takes flight This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time I feel like I'm falling What happens when I hit? Must mean then that's it This black abyss, this pit It all seems shades of gray I'm never ready for light of day This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time Why do you hurt me? This reality Why you smile at me? Show your fallacies Dreams hold me down But let me go When reality will wake me [I don't know] This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time Am I dreaming? If so, then why? My bodies back on Earth Only spirits can fly Soaring through dimensions of love Kinds only my father speaks of Scenery changes, spins and roll So does the color of our soul I know how this must make you feel You hate me but believe me this is real This was real

From a man's perspective to try to see her view. This is kinda wild to think where this visually could've gone in today's time dealing with depression and anxiety on a more mainstream level🤔😑

WE’RE SUSPENDED❤️🙌🏾
Maybe the most deep and most accomplished music the Neptunes have ever composed with "Get along with you". (I prefer the second one).
How in da heck did I miss this art peace......

Don't wake me
I'm still dreaming
I don't see you
I can't feel you
I'm alone for real in my mind
I'll feel this all night
When my life takes flight
This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
I feel like I'm falling
What happens when I hit?
Must mean then that's it
This black abyss, this pit
It all seems shades of gray
I'm never ready for light of day
This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
Why do you hurt me?
This reality
Why you smile at me?
Show your fallacies
Dreams hold me down
But let me go
When reality will wake me
[I don't know]
This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
This isn't just in your mind
We're suspended from space and time
Am I dreaming?
If so, then why?
My bodies back on Earth
Only spirits can fly
Soaring through dimensions of love
Kinds only my father speaks of
Scenery changes, spins and roll
So does the color of our soul
I know how this must make you feel
You hate me but believe me this is real
This was real

[Verse 1: Kelis and Pharrell]
Don't wake me, I'm still dreaming (Wake up, wake up)
I don't see you, I can't feel you (Look at me, I can't feel you)
I'm alone, for real, in my mind (Fall)
I'll feel this all night, when my life takes flight (Fall)
[Chorus: Kelis and Pharrell]
This isn't just in your mind (No)
We're suspended from space and time (Wake up, wake up, I want you to know, wake up)
[Verse 2: Kelis and Pharrell]
I feel like I'm falling, what happens when I hit? (Fall, fall there, fall)
Must mean then that's it, this black abyss, this pit (Bye)
It all seems shades of gray (Wake up)
I'm never ready for the light of day (I can't go, wake up)
[Chorus: Kelis and Pharrell]
This isn't just in your mind (Wake up, wake up, no)
We're suspended from space and time (I want you to know, please)
This isn't just in your mind (Wake up, wake up)
We're suspended from space and time (Wake up, I want you to know, no, no)
[Verse 3: Kelis and Pharrell]
Why do you hurt me? This reality (Reality)
Why you smile at me? Show me your fallacies (Fallacies, please)
Dreams hold me, never let me go (No, wake up, please)
When reality will wake me, I don't know (Wake up, I don't know, wake up)
[Chorus: Kelis and Pharrell]
This isn't just in your mind (Wake up, wake up, no, no)
We're suspended from space and time (Wake up, wake up, I want you to know, wake up)

We're suspended from space and time (I want you to know, no)
[Verse 4: Kelis and Pharrell]
Am I dreaming? If so, then why? (Am I dreaming? Wake up, no, wake up)
My body's back on Earth, only spirits can fly (Haha, only spirits fly, no)
Soaring through dimensions of love (No, no)
Kind only my father speaks of (No, wake up)
Scenery changes, spins, and roll (No, no, wake up)
So does the color of our soul (No, of your soul, wake up, wake up)
I know how this must make you feel (No, okay, babe)
Baby, believe me, this was real, this was real (No, this is real, wake up, this is real, wake up)
[Outro: Pharrell]
Wake up, no
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
No, no, wake up
Wake up, wake up
muito boa
is the sax bit fading out at the end and original or is this a song?
This was on the original.
@@RefiningtheStatusQuo huh?
❤💕👌👍
I heard this as a young teen and knew straight away it was her suicide. Still relatable to this day.
Wasn't there a video for this song? I remember there was a video.
That was 'Get Along With You'

Where's the unedited version and video?!
1:21
Good looks on the clean version. Amazing song that is so much better without hearing Pharrell say “wake up bitch”
I did not like that part either. I'm glad it's not in this version.
I personally liked that part. Made it even more creepy.
Legal
Amy Whinehouse would've been perfect for this song...
1st
Nah
Lol
