Title: White
Also Known
As:
Meaning: “This figure in the songs
wants to get lost and go off into the sky and be all dreamy and metaphysical and
stuff but gets pulled back to reality” “ It’s about people wanting something eternal in
their lives, or looking for a guarantee that some part of them is eternal” - Paul
Recorded: Recorded at Mangrove studio
between November 2000 to January 2001. Produced by Trina Shoemaker.
Notes: “It starts off very lonely
sounding… as it progresses it kind of looks up at the stars and the starts
twinke back (with those high keyboard parts)” “It’s got that kind of dreamy
feeling but then reality kicks in (that drum beat comes in a pulls it right
back down to the ground)” - Paul
Lyrics:
You think of whiteSomewhere outsideSomehow connected to your brainOr about to knock on your doorEternity is a policy Magnetism and mysteryWishful thinking and fantasyAnd I hope that you're not hoping for me You think of sightReason collidesSomehow transmitting from spaceAsking you to line up and take your placeInfinity is a reality Life jackets and sympathyBullshit daydreamsI know you can't be knowing for meAnd I hope that you're not hoping for me
