Attics of My Life
Unveiling Dreams: Grateful Dead's Ethereal Journey in 'Attics of My Life'
Lyrics
In the attics of my life
In the hidden, private spaces of my life
Full of cloudy dreams; unreal
Filled with unclear and fantastical aspirations; not grounded in reality
Full of tastes no tongue can know
Filled with experiences and sensations that are beyond description
And lights no eye can see
Containing illuminations and insights that are invisible to the naked eye
When there was no ear to hear
At a time when there was no one to listen
You sang to me
You communicated through song to me
I have spent my life
I have dedicated my life
Seeking all that's still unsung
Searching for unexplored, unsung aspects
Bent my ear to hear the tune
Listening intently to discover the melody
And closed my eyes to see
Shutting my eyes to perceive beyond the surface
When there were no strings to play
At a time when there were no apparent opportunities
You played to me
You played music for me
In the book of love's own dreams
In the realm of love's fantasies
Where all the print is blood
Where all expressions of love are intense and emotional
Where all the pages are my days
Where the pages of my life are written in blood
And all my lights grow old
And all my experiences age with time
When I had no wings to fly
At a time when I couldn't soar
You flew to me
You came to me in a metaphorical flight
You flew to me
Reinforcing the significance of your arrival
In the secret space of dreams
In the private realm of imagination
Where I dreaming lay amazed
Where I, as a dreamer, lay in awe
When the secrets all are told
At a point when all mysteries are unveiled
And the petals all unfold
And the unfolding of life's beauty is complete
When there was no dream of mine
When I had not envisioned any aspirations
You dreamed of me
You had envisioned and dreamt of me
