    I found myself listening to this song over and over. It’s one of the most dreamy atmospheric songs I’ve heard. You can literally feel love giving life and purpose. Life is what you make it. Things have meaning because we decide they have meaning. There’s something to be said about falling in love though. When you find someone whose soul you can absolutely embrace and feel overwhelming comfortable with. It really does make you question if they are real. Those moments when you can just stare at them and it makes you happy to the core. Then they run their hands through your hair- and it’s like heaven on earth.. they really are real. Beautiful song.

    Just found out about this guy. A black man from the projects, and just really domesticating myself as I find "Me," I get this on a very deep level of individuality. Who we are as humans? What we look for? In life. Someone to connect with! This melody speaks volumes..

      Yeah.. Someone to connect with.. That longing for that someone that gets you completely without the need for speech even. Not just know you enouh to know what you're gonna say but know you in an all encompassing way. Your whole beeing. That one soul to reflect you.. That one soul that is you in another body. Have felt desperately, deeply lonely at times.. Like I was so isolated I could scream from the depths of my heart but feel like noone could hear and my sounds wouldn't reach the edges of this solitude. Deeply home-sick like knowing where you came from prior to birth and instinctively wanting to go back but not really remembering where it was.. But that's ok.. Today I can see the spark in strangers eyes and see fractions of myself (home) there, too.. Little pieces. And that's enough to get me through for as long as it takes.

      He's an evil psychopath who kills off or frames for crimes anyone who might compete with him in the music industry. He even prevents them from LISTENING to music if he personally doesn't like them & claims he gave them their gifts so he can take them away. This narcissist actually believes no one really lives until HE comes into their life, so he feels like he is entitled to taking away anything. Go to hell, Antichrist.

    LYRICS
    There's no five years
    There's no ten years
    Only this
    Queen of, queen of, queen of queens
    There's no knife
    'Cause there's no tension
    Only this
    Lucid dream of, dream of dreams
    All I can do is trust in her
    Late nights I can see the lust in her
    Acid rain is a first for her
    Skies open up, share a cup with her
    Cracking seals, guilty no appeal
    Trip down the hill, strawberry fields
    Are you even real?
    She said, "tell me how you feel"
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?
    Well maybe I should study my reflection
    Best to know
    How I seem, I seem, I seem
    I spend the day
    Dreaming of connection
    Just to feel
    How you feel, you feel, you feel
    All I can do is trust in her
    Late nights I can see the lust in her
    Acid rain is a first for her
    Skies open up, share a cup with her
    Cracking seals, guilty, no appeal
    Trip down the hill, strawberry fields
    Are you even real?
    She said, "tell me how you feel"
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?
    Dream of connection
    Tell me how you feel
    Tell me how you feel
    Are you even real?
    Are you even real?
    Then she ran
    Then she ran
    Then she ran her hands through my imagination
    Then she ran
    Then she ran
    Then she ran her hands through my imagination
    Dream of connection
    Tell me how you feel
    Tell me how you feel
    (Are you even real?)
    Are you even real?

    Just in case you read these dude, really dug this song. The lyricism and pacing tone inflection w/e really made me look at all ur stuff. Great song staying in rotation
