In 1996, Oversoul 7 came together as members Geri Soriano-Lightwood, Ramin Sakurai, (Bassist)) Kiran Shahani, and (Guitarist) Rick Torres released "Nothing Like Tomorrow" and "What's the Deal" on two compilations on the Moonshine Music dance label. After the Moonshine releases, Oversoul 7 signed a demo deal with A&M records recording demos of "Truth From Fiction", "Never the Same", and "Last Girl on Earth", all songs which ended up on the now classic "Supreme Beings of Leisure" debut album (released on Palm Pictures label).
The release of the first Supreme Beings of Leisure album sold over 250,000 units with very little promotional touring. Instead, SBL opted to use the internet to market and promote the album, becoming the first band ever to do a "Virtual Internet Tour", and was among the first to use Flash animation for their videos, making them the first true "Internet Band" of the new millennium.
After the release of their debut album, the group disbanded. The core duo of Soriano-Lightwood and Sakurai, however, released the second SBL album "Divine Operating System" shortly thereafter in 2002. In 2003, SBL left Palm Pictures, taking a three year hiatus, releasing various remixes and appearing on various other artists' albums. In 2006, Supreme Beings of Leisure started writing material which coalesced into a new album, the highly anticipated 11i.
Catch Me
Supreme Beings Of Leisure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just searching for pearls
Don't they see
Life is for the free
Yes, I'll take my chances on simple romances
High-wire dances
I'm diving deep
Catch me, I'm falling in your dream
It is all that it seems
This is living, my love
Yes, the dream is alive
Who's chasing rainbows
I've got my pot of gold
Heaven [Incomprehensible]
Visions supreme
I'm suspended in stardust
Floating contagious
I'm flying high on a bird in the sky
Love is you and I
Catch me, I'm falling in your dream
It is all that it seems
This is living, my love
Catch me, I'm falling in your dream
It is all that it seems
This is living, my love
Won't you surrender?
Catch me, I'm falling in your dream
It is all that it seems
This is living, my love
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling in your dream
Yes, this dream is alive
Won't you surrender?
The lyrics of Supreme Beings Of Leisure's song "Catch Me" can be interpreted as a celebration of living life to the fullest, taking chances, and surrendering to love. The opening lines, "They tell me, I'm silly / Just searching for pearls / Don't they see / Life is for the free," could be interpreted as the singer rejecting societal conventions and embracing a more adventurous and free-spirited approach to life. The chorus, "Catch me, I'm falling in your dream / It is all that it seems / This is living, my love," could be seen as an expression of surrendering to the person they love and their dreams, taking risks and diving deep into life's experience. The lines "Who's chasing rainbows / I've got my pot of gold / Heaven [Incomprehensible] / Visions supreme" could be seen as a rejection of materialism in favor of the beauty and wonder of life and love.
The second verse continues the theme of surrendering to love and the journey of self-discovery, as seen in the lines "I'm suspended in stardust / Floating contagious / I'm flying high on a bird in the sky / Love is you and I." The use of poetic imagery adds to the dream-like quality of the song and reinforces the idea of surrendering to the experience of love and life. The final verse, with its repeated "Catch me, I'm falling" lines, drives home the idea of taking chances and risking everything for love and the pursuit of one's dreams.
