There's a Place
Carpark North Lyrics

There's a place that I like
There's a mental place that the singer likes.

It comes from within
This place is inside the singer's mind.

And it starts when I fall asleep
The singer enters this place when they fall asleep.

It's the thing inside you that we call consciousness
This mental place is the singer's consciousness.

And it works eatherway
The singer's consciousness works both when they are awake and when they are asleep.

All I want to do is sub-usual
The singer wants to do something out of the ordinary.

Something I can't define
The singer can't fully explain what they want to do.

Can't you feel it?
The singer is asking if the listener can sense what they're feeling.

Can't you see it?
The singer is asking if the listener can see the mental place described in the lyrics.

Is it something extraordinary?
The singer is wondering if this mental place is something special.

When I sleep, I am there
The singer's mind enters this place when they are asleep.

The place no one knows
This mental place is private and personal to the singer.

It's my world where I fall asleep
This mental place is the singer's own personal world where they can escape.

And it's great to be there
The singer enjoys being in this mental place.

'Cause here I am free
In this mental place, the singer feels free and liberated.

From all the degrading things...
In this mental place, the singer is free from negative things in the real world.

It's for you, this place of mine
The singer is sharing this mental place with the listener.

Behind skies and stars
This mental place is metaphorically located beyond the physical world.

When the world falls asleep
The singer enters this mental place when the world is quiet and everyone is asleep.

All I want to do... (x2)
The singer repeats their desire to do something out of the ordinary.
