This song is about his crazy love\nlife with Mary, he told a source, “It’s about hyperventilating – kissing and fainting on the floor.”\nIt looks like his girlfriend at the time tells him exactly how she feels, but he does not tell her how\nhe feels and instead thinks of all the amazingly crazy ways he loves her. She thinks that he\ndoesn’t love her, but he does so much that he chokes up and just cannot put it into words."}}]}, {"id":26886863,"fragment":"I","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"“Why are you so far away?, she said\nWhy won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you?”\n\nThis part of the song gives me the vibes she feels he is more emotionally distant from her and he’s just so in love with her that he doesn’t see the struggles that she’s having internally. But she feels like she can’t tell him because he won’t think of her the same way and their love might fade."}}]}, {"id":26886837,"fragment":"You’re just like a dream","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"“You’re Just Like a Dream”\n\nTo me, this line describes how the girl he’s signing about it so perfect that she seems like she can only be in his dreams. But the longer the song goes on, he starts to realize that she actually is only in his dreams and that she’s not real. I feel like this could maybe show how he’s lost people in the past and describes how no one else can ever live up to the way that he loved her."}}]}, {"id":17190761,"fragment":"You, strange as angels\n Dancing in the deepest oceans\n Twisting in the water","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"This relates to the overall theme of the song where Smith is on a cliff. He can see the sea below him and perhaps the swell of the waves looks like angels dancing under there. It could also be an allusion to where the girl he was kissing earlier had gone, perhaps she had fallen off the cliff and drowned “twisting in the water”."}}]}, {"id":17102377,"fragment":"”Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"According to The Guardian:\n\nSmith has claimed that the first verse is rooted in boyhood memories of practicing magic.\n\nThe thrill of Smith amazing his friends with magic tricks is similarly reflected when he is with the song’s central figure, Mary. Smith later told Blender in 2003:\n\non another [level], it’s about a seduction trick, from much later in my life. It was something that happened on Beachy Head, on the south coast of England. The song is about hyperventilating – kissing and fainting to the floor. Mary dances with me in the video because she was the girl, so it had to be her. The idea is that one night like that is worth 1,000 hours of drudgery."}}]}, {"id":16824934,"fragment":"And found myself alone, alone\n Alone above a raging sea","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"Robert Smith was inspired to write “Just Like Heaven” after his friends abandoned him near the cliffs above the sea at Beachy Head in East Sussex:\n\nActually, “Just Like Heaven” is about a night I spent there. We’d been drinking and someone thought it would be cool to go for a walk. But suddenly the fog came in and I lost sight of my friends and could not see a hand before my eyes. I thought I might fall down the cliff if I moved another foot so I had to sit down until dawn. Later I heard my friends didn’t even look for me … The bastards! Their explanation: ‘ah it was nearly 5am and we thought it’ll be light soon.’"}}]}, {"id":11129654,"fragment":"Daylight licked me into shape","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"Daylight is often in literature a metaphor for a kind of philosophical enlightenment, or general truth (as in the Bible) and serves this purpose here. Awoken from the ‘dream’ of falling in love he now realises, remembers, the detachment he will always feel from another human, and how it limits the love between them."}}]}, {"id":4894011,"fragment":"[Verse 1]","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"Robert Smith didn’t purposely borrow the song structure of The Only One’s “Another Girl, Another Planet”, but he notes a strong similarity between them:\n\nAlthough I didn’t realize it at the time, the structure is very similar to ‘Another Girl, Another Planet,’ by The Only Ones, which I can still vividly remember hearing on the radio late at night in the mid-‘70s."}}]}, {"id":3260178,"fragment":"“Why are you so far away?” she said\n ”Why won’t you ever know\n That I’m in love with you?\n That I’m in love with you?”","annotations":[{"body":{"plain":"It wouldn’t be a Cure song without an acknowledgement that if you’re insecure, even being in love can make you feel lonely and detached. See, for instance, “Disintegration” and “Pictures of You”"}}]}]
