One cold damp evening

The world stood still

I watched as I held my breath

A silhouette I thought I knew

Came through

And someone spoke to me

Whispered in my ear

This fantasy's for you

Fantasies are "in" this year

My whole life passed before my eyes

I thought what they say is true

I shed my skin and my disguise

And cold, numb and naked

I emerged from my cocoon

And a half remembered tune

Played softly in my head

Then he turned smiling

And said

I realize a miracle is due

I dedicate this melody to you

But is this the stuff dreams are made of?

If this is the stuff dreams are made of

No wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

Everywhere

It feels like I'm everywhere

When you fail to make the connection

You know how vital it is

Or when something slips through your fingers

You know how precious it is

Well you reach the point where you know

It's only your second skin

Someone's banging on my door

One of the best songs ever made, hands down.

My own take on this is that it's about leaving the physical, mundane world- perhaps in death though a revalation and/or meditation could also work- and moving to a higher plane of exisrtence or knowledge.

No you're absolutely right.The first part of the song is like the first skin, and you're trapped in this tense atmosphere. Then the second part, you are released, born if you will, into a hopeful world of power, magic, and mystery.

I think the repetition is required to attain the intensity which is one of the hallmarks of their brilliance. But then, what would I know ?

You're kidding aren't you, cupcake? Far too repetitive.

When I first heard this song, my heart stopped. When I first really heard the lyrics, I bawled my eyes out. Some things are beyond description.
