This song lyrically explores the intense and intimate connection between two people that transcends physical presence. The concept of making love telepathically suggests a deep emotional and mental bond where two individuals can understand and satisfy each other’s desires without physical touch. The recurring mentions of the moon being full and the bed empty emphasize a longing and desire for physical closeness that is unfulfilled, reflecting the pain of separation.
The chorus, “Who would have known you could make love telepathically,” speaks to the marvel and disbelief at the depth of their connection. It highlights a longing for the person’s presence, fantasizing about the intense emotional and physical connection they could have if they were physically together.
Verse 1 introduces the theme of physical distance (“kilometres away”) and the modern means to overcome it (“you can take a private plane”), yet it emphasizes that their connection doesn’t rely on physical proximity. The narrator feels connected to their partner through thoughts and desires, indicating an almost psychic bond where they can communicate and stimulate each other mentally (“And you turn me on without even touching me”).
In Verse 2, the notion of understanding and seeing through the other person continues with “I can read your mind, I can read your mind,” suggesting an intimate knowledge of the other’s thoughts and feelings. The ability to “hear your thoughts like a melody” and the desire to stay connected through the phone “just to hear me breathe” underscore the depth of their connection, where even the smallest signs of the other’s presence bring comfort and a sense of closeness.
The outro repeats the idea of having a lot to say, with voices in the background of the brain, which could imply the constant presence of the other person in the narrator’s thoughts, maintaining their bond even in separation.
Overall, the song portrays a profound emotional connection that defies physical separation, where the mental and emotional bond between the two individuals is so strong that they can experience intimacy and understanding on a telepathic level, highlighting the longing for physical togetherness and the pain of absence.
