Elliot Root's reflective lyrics explore the contrasting themes of escapism and introspection. The song delves into the inner turmoil experienced when the comfort of night shields one from reality, symbolized by the narrator floating "ten thousand feet above the ground." This elevated headspace signifies a detachment from the chaos below, where doubts and fears reside. The lyrics underscore the tension between childhood dreams and adult disillusionment, revealing the struggle to feel genuine emotions amidst digital distractions. 🌌 As the protagonist grapples with the nature of reality, the recurring dreamlike imagery emphasizes the conflict between what is real and what is felt. By expressing a longing for authenticity in an increasingly artificial world, the song captures the universal quest for meaning and self-awareness in a complex, modern landscape.

Lyrics
Suddenly I wake up, I'm hiding from the lovely side
Each day's a new day, still I seek the shelter of the night
Make up your mind, there's no falling through space, you see
The fear of it comes, and it goes
What to believe?
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
When I was a child
I dreamed that my dreams be real
Now that I'm older I find it harder to feel
I don't know why I'm trying to say
Maybe through digital screens
Life isn't real
Goes oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
Ten thousand feet above the ground
And I am floating in an unusual headspace
Feeling like my mind is laced
With the doubts and fears of this place
