Come To Me

Lyrics:

Traveling the galaxies on telepathic roads

Singing in the distance, clouds of breath out in the cold

All of my desires waiting for someone to hold

So, come to me

So, come to me, oo

Lying here pretending that you're closer than you are

Swear I heard you whispering, "would someone break my fall?"

Memories of kisses from the dreams until the dawn

So, come to me

The nights when you don't call

My life is a catastrophe

I need to feel you close to me

I'm waiting out the storm

'Cause when I'm all alone

I imagine I am face to face

Inhaling every breath you take

I'm waiting out the storm

Conversation hotter than a fireman engulfed

Sweeping through my body causing temperatures to smoke

Every second passing makes it hard for me to cope

So, come to me

Walking with my fingers and I'm creeping down real slow

Reaching for the places that no one could ever go

Pushing me to ecstasy, you touch my very soul

So, come to me

So, come to me, yeah

Thinking of you

What can I do

I'm thinking of you

Cause when I'm all alone

I lay awake and masturbate

I love to hear the sounds you make

Baby, here I come

Come, come

Waiting, waiting

I know, I know

You'll come to me

So, come to me

I'm not sure if this would be considered a love ballad or a dirty pop / tech song. With the lyric "masturbate", it may fall under the second. When I first heard the song before it reached that verse, I thought it was a ballad because it could be figurative/imaginative. Not disappointing, as it could have gone either way. If Schizophrenic is an album about various sides of sex, then here's the telephone sex call.

Lyrically, it is descriptive and fluent. It is different than 'Digital Get Down' with better use of words and imagery. The reading-between-the-lines meaning is clear, and with that "masturbate" lyric, it doesn't hide under an innocent "telephone is a means of communication" mode.

The musical accompaniment (tempo and synthesizers) is reminiscent of Annie Lennox. That may be intentional as the song daydreams into 'sweet dreams'. Not much variation between verse to verse, perhaps because there isn't a discernable chorus.
