Reading you and Barty here, it's quite fun. It's like you are doodling. You're quickly going off into complex areas that don't really have anything to do with the song. All the things you are saying:
-in a place outside of time
-outside looking in or inside looking out (isolated, apart)
-surface layers peeling back to reveal the real
(Other things I know)
The images you are conjuring are great, would be even better if you were more specific, more lucid, more exact.
Not songs, I'd say resist posting more songs. Or links.
Keep writing the images, it'll lead somewhere interesting.
I suppose the only thing I would add would be to say that this mode of expression is nothing new, it's always there? Maybe it's just foregrounded now.
