Don't use the levitation song within a dungeon. There is a bug, or Verant
calls it FEATURE, that let MOBS hit you from anywhere while you are
levitating. Actually for us is better since we can stop the song and land
anytime we want. But for the other classes, they have to wait until the
spell wears out. Druid friends also told me not to use it over water, since
shark can hit you from anywhere and there is no way to fight back when you
are above water. I guess it is only for the spell not the song, we could
always drop down into water anytime we want.
