Take a Swing
Swinging Through Dreams: Danny End the Dictators' Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
It seems I took
Reflecting on past actions or decisions
A swing or two
Acknowledging taking some actions
I'd have to say on a few
Expressing uncertainty or hesitation
I swung right through
Describing a continuous effort, possibly overcoming obstacles
Even though I wanted most of the time
Desire conflicted with inability to achieve
It's only cause I couldn't
Admitting limitations or constraints
All of the time
Highlighting a lack of control
Other times it falls into place
Mentioning instances of things falling into place
And others just a disgrace,
Acknowledging both success and failure
Still I try
Continued effort despite challenges
Search to comply
Searching for compliance or conformity
Of course you'd lie
Suspecting dishonesty or deception
For a slice of that immortal pie
Desire for success, fame, or recognition
We're all machines
Comparing people to machines
Run half the time on dreams
Highlighting the role of dreams in human life
We're all machines
Reiteration of the impact of dreams
Run half the time on dreams
Emphasizing the significant influence of dreams
Half the time on dreams
Stressing the prevalence of dreams in life
Half the time on dreams
Repeating the idea of dreams' importance
No button, no rewind
Emphasizing the inability to undo or reverse actions
Not a thing you can do
Describing the inevitable decay of certain things
Will rot straight through
Emphasizing the vulnerability of certain situations
Or be crushed, burned or blown
Highlighting potential destruction or deterioration
Preserved though not for long
Noting the temporary nature of preservation
It's time to wake and aspire
Encouraging awakening and ambition
Hope and desire
Expressing optimism and longing
Strong as fire,
Comparing desire to the intensity of fire
Burning, flames grow higher
Metaphorically describing escalating passion or commitment
You are a lie
Questioning the authenticity of someone or something
If you can hear this
Addressing a listener's existence and awareness
You're alive
Acknowledging life and the capacity to strive
You can strive
Encouraging effort or improvement
