A vivid musical tale of lost connection, sprinkled with clear similes that have been musically well performed. Everything But The Girl is a very cool, acclaimed sophista-pop and electronic dance music duo. Also, there's a live version video of this at Youtube, associated with another song of theirs that is entitled Before Today. Played this one quite a lot (and many other tunes, too) in the internet cafe' called Higashi Kaze (Eastern Wind) during the 1990s. That cafe' was the fifth cafe' in the U.S. to have an internet theme, with 33K dialup! Wow, all the way back in the 20th Century! :-)

Mmmm

I always did love this song.

Telling, isn’t it? “I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain.”

Though arising from a different perspective, “All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.” is a soliloquy that speaks of a lost connection, too. However, this soul-baring statement pertains to a different kind of lost connection - existential dissolution.

Ahhh, the multitude of layers of the thousand petaled lotus.

Yes!

I love it when lyrics have a variety of ways of being interpreted. When it includes all three of spirit, mind, & body it never ceases to blow me away. True enchantments of a ceaseless loop of fractal patterns

Referring only to the second quote above (from an actor's soliloquy), when one embraces the teachings of Hatha Yoga (and probably Tibetan Buddhism, too), yes, the Sahasrara - referred to as a thousand-petal lotus - is a one way to grasp, fathom, understand, or realize the meaning of the energy of consciosness (kundalini) and it's enevitable exitinguishment, that is, existential dissolution. Mahayana Buddhism's treatment of existential dissolution is a bit different. Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren, Shingon, and Tendai are of Mahayana derivation.
