Unveiling Dreams: The Organic Machinery of Life
Lyrics
Stories tell of a man who never lived
Stories depict a fictional character who never existed
Slurping breakfast cereal
Depiction of mundane activities, like eating breakfast cereal
Eyes still halfly lidded
Describing the man with half-closed eyes
That poor man just didn't have a say
Expressing the man's lack of control or influence
But when he was a child he
Reflecting on the man's childhood dreams
Had a dream that someday
Hopeful anticipation of a better future
The world would open up and smile
Imagining a world that welcomes and smiles at the man
And greet him with a hug
Envisioning a warm reception, symbolized by a hug
And all his work would be worthwhile
Believing that the man's efforts will be meaningful
And he would see the ones he loved
Anticipating a reunion with loved ones
And he would see the ones he loved
Reiteration of the longing to see loved ones
That poor man was just part of the machine
Characterizing the man as a mere component of a larger system
Organically we're all required to breathe
Highlighting the organic necessity of breathing
We all are bound to cry, but
Acknowledging the inevitability of crying in life
Are we bound to smile?
Raising a question about whether smiling is also inevitable
Is the struggle worth my while?
Questioning the value of the struggles in life
Legend says that man is still awake
Continuing the narrative of the man's wakefulness
Slaving over bonds he never had a choice to break
Illustrating the man's commitment to unbreakable bonds
His weary eyes start closing at the thought
Describing the man's tiredness and realization
That all the worry was for naught
Reflecting on the futility of past worries
And when he dreams
Transitioning to the man's dreams
His world, it opens up and smiles
Reiteration of the dream of a welcoming world
And greets him with a hug
Imagining a hug and a worthwhile existence in the dream
And all his work, it was worthwhile
Confirming the value of the man's dreamt endeavors
And he sees the ones he loves
Fulfillment of the man's desire to see loved ones in the dream
At last he sees the ones he loves
Emphasizing the man's joy in finally seeing loved ones
