Lifted
Lifted Dreams: Navigating Shadows and Seas with Dave Daniels
Lyrics
You know I hate it when you're stoned
You dislike it when you're under the influence of drugs.
I never meant to be this sober
I never intended to be as clear-headed or sober as I am now.
I guess we're right where we belong
We're in the right place or situation as it stands.
But tonight, I can't come over
But tonight, I'm unable to come to where you are.
Now you can't connect with me
You're finding it hard to relate to me.
But I don't blame it on that strain of weed
However, I don't attribute this disconnection to a particular type of marijuana.
Something keeps fucking with my head
Something is continuously troubling or bothering my mind.
And I'm having those dreams again
I'm experiencing recurring dreams.
Where I'm lifted, shifting, turned around and twisted
These dreams involve feeling elevated, shifting, disoriented, and contorted.
On a darkened sea in the middle of a storm
Immersed in a dark and turbulent sea during a storm.
Lifted, swimming, the ocean current ripping
Feeling uplifted, swimming, amidst a forceful ocean current.
Will I see you if I make it to the shore
Questioning if I'll encounter you if I manage to reach safety.
Sometimes I wish that I was drunk
Sometimes, I wish I were intoxicated.
Twenty-seven, with my Georgia friends
At 27 years old, longing for the company of my friends from Georgia.
But I never made it in that club
However, I failed to gain entry into a particular club.
And it's too late to start again
And now, it feels too late to attempt it again.
So, I will lay me down to sleep
I will prepare to sleep.
The Seroquel will keep my conscious clean
Using Seroquel to maintain a clear mind while sleeping.
But I can see her through the pills
Despite the medication, I can still envision her.
Like a fox heading for the hills
Comparing her vision to a fox escaping.
She's lifted, swift and running hard but she's missing
She appears elevated, swift, and determined, yet lost.
Through the Northwest woods, looking for a home
In the Northwestern woods, seeking a place to belong.
Turning, yearning, the night forest is burning
Twisting, desiring, while the night's environment burns.
She will make it there before the dream is gone
Expected to reach her destination before the dream fades.
I don't know where you are tonight
I'm unaware of your current whereabouts.
But I'll see you through the flickering of dreams
However, I anticipate seeing you in my fluctuating dreams.
In the morning when we start again
In the morning, when a new day begins.
I'll see you where the forest meets the sea
I envision meeting you at the junction of the forest and the sea.
Lifted, shifting, chemicals are spinning
Feeling elevated, shifting due to chemicals, aiding us through the night.
Through our nerves to get us through the night
These substances assist us during the night but wear off during the day.
But in daylight, the sunrise, in your bedroom it's alright
But during the day, in the light of morning, everything will be fine in your space.
We'll be clean again, and grateful for the light
We'll feel refreshed and thankful for the dawn.
Grateful for the light
Grateful for the arrival of light.
Grateful for the light
Expressing gratitude for the light.
