When your best friend's all strung out You do everything you can Because you're never going to let it get them down When you find it all around It comes in waves But it's hardest from the start Feelings sleeping in the field again But I can feel, I can feel I can feel it's beginning to end Premonitions smiling in the dark I can see, I can see, I can see The story's starting to arc It dries up I've been a spoken word I've been a river bed I've been a rabid force And let it flow out from within Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white And color's so... oh When your best friend's all strung out You do everything you can Because you're never going to let it get them down When you find it all around Yeah, you say it's what you need And hide your eyes when you're close to me With your feet up in the clouds Well, it comes in waves But it's hardest from the start Waves in Theta, slipping into dreams I can feel, I can feel I can feel the celestial beings Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath I can see, I can see I can see the beauty in the mess It dries up I've been a river bed I tried to salt the wound I've carried more than I can I feel I've got a lot to prove Sometimes I feel like I only dream in black and white And color's so... oh When your best friend's all strung out You do everything you can Because you're never going to let it get them down When you find it all around You say it's what you need And hide your eyes when you're close to me With your feet up in the clouds You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you go With your head hanging upside down Well, it comes in waves But it's hardest from the start I am here, no matter where you are I'm waiting here with open arms No matter where you are Sometimes you have to wait Until it passes by like a satellite or star No matter where you are When your best friend's all strung out You know it With your feet up in the clouds Oh yeah, you know it When your best friend's all strung out Oh yeah, you know it, you oughta know That I'm here no matter where you go With your head hanging upside down Yeah, you know it, that's how you know That your best friend's all strung out
As Mark said, it's about losing the ability to produce new written work (writer's block), hence "I'm here, no matter where you wanna go" , referring to inspiration.
