Eros - Lucid Control : What are “auditory sights”? How is a human being a “shapeless figure”? Why is the control “lucid,” meaning ‘expressed clearly’? This song has a lot of language that I think wants to be deep or interesting but it makes it confusing.

Auditory, of or relating to the sense of hearing. Sights, the faculty or power of seeing. With them sinking, its illustrating the action of falling asleep. I never explicitly stated the shapeless figure was a human, but the song is being sung in a dream like state. There are dreams where you can't quite place who you're dreaming about, but you know you're dreaming about someone. That's what that line means. Lucid, expressed clearly; easy to understand. Easy control the singer feels they have over the other person during the chorus.
I never really write my songs with intention of wanting to seem deep or interesting, I would be trying to plug in a ton of unusual vocabulary not really suited for a song if that were true.
Thanks for the feed back though!
