about

ehlsea says:
"For this mix, I was inspired by the line "It's not a dream," and I wanted to capture the feeling of being alive and awake in a city that seems like a dreamworld. This was my first time working with vocals in a song, and I'm proud of what I was able to do. Remixing this song was a fun challenge, and I hope to be part of more projects like this in the future."

lyrics

i know what the city lights
do to the night sky
when no one’s looking,
but i can’t decide...

‘cause though i crave the constellations
the fog above my head, illuminated...
i don't know how to phrase it

and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky bleed...

and i want to see everything
and i want to breathe easily
and i want to let the night sky lean...

its blacks and blues down into m e ,
like a moon-bleached t a p e s t r y

its dappled flank down upon m e . . .
like a flawed p h i l o s o p h y

‘cause i’ve seen what the city lights
do to the night sky...
i keep an eye, out.
i can’t decide,
somehow.

‘cause though i crave the constellations
glass towers above my head, illuminated...
i don’t know how to phrase it

'cause though i crave the constellations
the rain about my head, illuminated...
i’m not sure how to say it
i don’t know how to phrase it...
"i t ’ s n o t a d r e a m . . . ?"
