I don't remember what KaTe has said about this, but to me, this song 
seems to be metaphorically referring to drugs.  The first verse
expresses the desire to escape from mundane life, the next describes
apparently surreal experiences ("I got no limbs and I'm like a feather
on the wind" - Ok, so they're all kite metaphors as well...but hidden
double metaphors are KaTe's speciality, aren't they? 8^) and the
last suggests regret and inability to revert to normal life: "And I'd
like to be back on the ground/But I don't know how to get down" -
addiction of course! And there's the old cliche "high as a kite" too.

Oh, and (tenuous link) speaking of songs of the Tour of Life era, has
anybody else noticed that in the bit in the Hammersmith video, after
Feel It, where Simon Drake walks across the stage, he's leafing
through a girly magazine? That must have raised a few eyebrows of
people reading the props list....8^)
