The Sign
Dreams Unveiled: Love's Illusion in Eduardo Mariné's 'The Sign'
Lyrics
I just woke up from the strangest of dreams
The speaker has awoken from a very unusual dream.
And the spring had just come
It was springtime in the dream.
Such a story unfolds
A narrative or tale was unfolding.
The green of your eyes put a spell on me
The captivating quality of someone's green eyes had a powerful effect on the speaker.
Through the river uncrossed
There was an obstacle or challenge represented by an uncrossed river.
And the angels forlorn
Angels were depicted as sad or abandoned.
Distance and time were on our side
Time and distance were favorable or advantageous.
And your wings were made song
The person being described had qualities akin to a song or music.
And our dreams all came true
All the hopes and desires came true.
You seemed to know what I needed then
The person understood the speaker's needs during a lonely time.
When I was all alone
The speaker was isolated or solitary.
And your voice pierced through the sky
The person's voice had a profound impact, piercing through barriers.
I just woke up from the strangest of dreams
Similar to line 1, the speaker had another peculiar dream.
All the rumors foretold
There were predictions or warnings made by rumors.
And the tears of days lost
Regrets or sorrow over lost time.
The black of your hair and the shortest of nights
The dark/black hair of someone and brief nights were overcome through love.
That we conquered with love
Obstacles or challenges were conquered with love.
And the rivers we crossed
There were difficulties represented by rivers that were overcome.
But I seem to have missed which was a sign
There was a missed indication or signal that this was just a dream.
That this was just a dream
Realization that what seemed like love was actually a dream.
Not a love as it seemed
The love depicted was not real, just an illusion.
A lifetime of memories just fade in sight
A lifetime's worth of memories fades away because the person the speaker believed in was never real.
Because you never were
Realization dawns that the person of affection never existed.
And I didn't realize
The speaker failed to recognize this lack of reality until now.
