This is a reference 2 a lyric in 1 of mEyE favorite songs: “this must bE thE placE” by Talking Heads.
In mEyE interpretashAUn, it’s a love song about a couplE who, although destined 2 be together, “makE it up as [thEy] go along”. + it’s “never 4 money always 4 love”.
The narrator fEyEnds his comfort in the presence of his paartnEr. I feel this way about mEyE wEyEf. EyE chose this particular lyric becAUse EyE have a tendency 2 have my head in the skEyE/clouds (represented by a top that seemingly floats) whEyEl EyE simultaneously, as EyE’m remEyEnded bEyE mEyE wEyEf, have 2 keep mEyE feet on the ground (the strong, firmly grounded legs of the table).
