Dead, Dreaming
Buried Dreams: Apollo Clone's Melancholy Odyssey
Lyrics
They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
Feeling overwhelmed by unfulfilled aspirations and past failures; metaphorically being buried with dreams that didn't come true.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams that still work
Even though the dreams are 'dead,' there's a sense that they still have value or potential.
Dead, dreaming, I’m awake and it aches
Being in a state of inertia, possibly stuck in a cycle of unfulfilling thoughts or experiences while being conscious of it.
Could you drop your job, come over here and help me?
Seeking emotional support or assistance, possibly from someone distant or occupied.
I’m doing better now, still harder on myself
Acknowledging personal growth but still struggling with self-criticism.
Than you could ever probably imagine
The internal struggles are more intense than others might perceive.
What’s that frown on your face about?
Questioning someone's apparent sadness or dissatisfaction.
Took you to space, dance on the moon and clouds
Reflecting on shared experiences, possibly expressing disappointment in a relationship.
I knew those tears meant something was still wrong
Recognizing emotional distress in someone close, possibly despite efforts to alleviate it.
Gave you a diamond crown then watched you crash right to the ground
Giving someone a valuable or symbolic gift but witnessing their subsequent downfall.
What does it take to make you anything but sad?
Expressing frustration at the persistent sadness of someone despite efforts to improve their mood.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
Reiterating the theme of being buried with dreams, emphasizing the weight of past aspirations.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams that still work
Repeating the idea that even though dreams are 'dead,' there's still functionality or significance in them.
You and I fall, we’re drowning
Describing a shared struggle or downfall, possibly in a relationship.
Demons inside, stop shouting
Dealing with internal demons and trying to silence inner turmoil.
My city filled with ghost-goblins
Metaphorically describing a city filled with negative and haunting influences.
Be the one to solve my problems
Seeking someone to provide solutions to personal problems.
It’s nonsense, it’s toxic
Acknowledging the destructive and harmful nature of certain thoughts or situations.
I’m gone, dug my own coffin
Expressing a feeling of self-destructiveness, possibly through choices or actions.
Told you all I’m always nauseous
Communicating a persistent sense of discomfort or unease.
Somewhere down the line, I lost it
Reflecting on a point in time where a loss or change occurred.
Some of the little things: I cannot Sleep
Listing specific difficulties, such as insomnia.
Choking every time I breath
Experiencing physical and emotional suffocation.
When I die bury me deep
Expressing a desire for a deep and permanent rest.
Drown all that sorrow, all my grief
Wishing to overcome sorrow and grief through death.
What’s so complicated about
Questioning the complexity of personal dreams that are fading away.
The dreams I have, they’re fading out
Expressing a sense of loss and diminishing significance of dreams.
I tried to save a life but you wouldn’t let me try
Attempting to save someone or something, but facing resistance or rejection.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
Repeating the theme of being buried with dreams, reinforcing the weight of unfulfilled aspirations.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams that still work
Reiterating that even though dreams are 'dead,' there's still functionality or significance in them.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams, my dead dreams
Continuing the emphasis on being buried with dreams, highlighting the inescapable nature of past aspirations.
They’re burying me with my dead dreams that still work
Repeating the idea that even though dreams are 'dead,' there's still value or potential in them.
