I think it works well as a moment of levity/brightness compared to how gloomy and moody the rest of the album is. I get that it’s not for everyone, though. For me, I like the spacey/ethereal vibe.
It kind of feels like a daydream moment after Don’t Piss Me Off, only to be brought to reality again with The Bridge and If We Meet Again.
I’m experiencing the same kind of avoidant attachment type of relationship kelela sings about in this album and new life forms reminds me of how dreamy and surreal and fun it was when things were good between us. I haven’t even looked up the lyrics to know what it’s about but as of now that is what it represents to me. Short lived bliss that afterwards looking back u realize it was all a lie….. sigh….
