Thanks Floyd. I am in experimental mode these days in all areas, lyrical and musical. I fiddled with that mix a lot to get that swirling sound. It was a tricky blend. I can go back for another listen though. I was mostly interested in the drums and a very particular ambient sound on this one. Again, an experiment.

The lyrics were crafted that way to take you on three stages of the character's journey. The last verse asks, essentially, "Aren't we all just strangers at the gate?" which creates a circle back to Verse 1.

As for the word "sleep" that you used, I not familiar with this strange term and perhaps I should look it up. Is it something you earthlings do? I must confess it is not in my vocabulary, but I am not from here, as we have discussed.
