"Helena Beat" -Foster the People

I wake up, and I don't know wherewhowhy I am.
I'm lying on the dirt, on the drydry dirt, and I'm bound. By my ankles and my wrists, I'm tied. To the ground.
How can I be tied to the ground?
I think this thought, and the ropes disappear.
The next second, I'm standing.
Desert. I'm in a desert, and there's only grass here and there.
A moment later, something appears in the distance, and it's racing towards me, faster than I can imagine.
It's a ship: a great vessel of pirates. Racingracing.
How is there a ship in the desert?
I think this thought, and I'm sinking into the ocean.
That's not what I had in mind.

Listen Here.

  2. I got this song when it was free on iTunes, but I never actually listened to it. I'm going to now, lol :)

  3. It seems rather insightful, until the end. Then it seems like a cruel joke on the narrator.
