Take me there
I don't care
We'll find love

Space girl lands
Takes my hand
Blurs my view
Engines whir




Memphis blurred
Sunset deep

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song "Take me there, I don't care, we'll find love" seem to be asking for an escape from the mundane, a desire to be transported somewhere unknown. The singer is willing to take the chance and go wherever they need to go in order to find love. The subsequent line "Space girl lands, takes my hand, blurs my view" is a continuation of this fantasy. The song becomes dreamlike, with the idea of a "space girl" offering a surreal existence. This image creates a sense of mystery for the listener, as we still don't know where the song will take us.


The lyrics "Engines whir, Memphis blurred, sunset deep" create a vivid image of motion, speed, and a feeling that time is slipping away. The use of words such as "engines" and "whir" create an auditory sense of movement, while "Memphis blurred" and "sunset deep" create a visual and atmospheric sense of movement. This palpable sense of motion adds to the dream-like quality of the song.

I find myself coming back to this band every time. Lately I have been depressed and the tones and layers of their music help me in my sadness.

@glenncourtney3733

The crescendo build up is rockin'. Was 17 when this came out. Still have it on audio tape.

@kdogg101

Absolutely love this song!

@nickr6294

It gives true meaning to the beauty of the word Sunset.

@gatogreensleeves

Please don't ever stop making music.

@micklee5152

The whole song is great. That triplet bass run on the 'verse'. But 2.20 is where its at. The guitars are unreal

@junkers66

Anyone also feels the drums here are awesome?
Love the guitars, but here the drumming really shines.

@lofisounds
