The lyrics quietly unravel the story of a mind overwhelmed by the force of love:
“No real life is dreaming / Made us seeming up some time / It ended in a minute / It’s begging, it’s gladdening.”
Mason captures the fleeting, surreal moments of emotional surrender, where madness and gladness become one.
His calm, reflective delivery is anchored by Nate Barnes’ delicate drumming and John Thomasson’s warm bass lines, creating a soothing yet emotionally charged backdrop. As Mason softly confesses, “No more days on end / It’s breaking, it’s desire / It’s frenzy / It’s broken, it’s dizzy,” the listener is carried into the chaotic bliss of falling hopelessly, beautifully in love.
