Needle Gone
Dreams Shattered: Needle Gone's Surreal Odyssey
Lyrics
Walking around in a dream
Feeling disconnected from reality, as if in a dream.
But it ain't my dream
The dream being experienced is not personally fulfilling or reflective of one's desires.
Moving pictures, changing scenes
Experiencing a dynamic and ever-changing environment.
Giving in to make believe
Choosing to accept illusions and fantasies to cope with reality.
Fickle lies and marble eyes
Deceptive falsehoods and unfeeling gazes from others.
People set upon the Sun
People dedicated or fixated on achieving something seemingly unattainable.
Shifting down into the hay
Transitioning into a simpler, rustic lifestyle.
Needle gone, no damage done
Overcoming addiction or dependence without causing harm.
Feeling sick, can't sleep a lick, and over it
Experiencing physical and emotional discomfort, and being fed up with it.
A kindred soul with no shoe soles
Connecting with someone who lacks material possessions.
Returned my smile yesterday
Recalling a positive interaction with someone.
Can I trust the words that he proclaimed
Doubting the sincerity of someone's words and intentions.
Does it really matter, anyway
Questioning the significance of the doubts and suspicions.
The kids say a man drained the wishing well
Children claim a person depleted a source of hope.
He was low on change, so down he fell
Explaining that the person fell into despair due to a lack of resources.
Sick of the your fake concerns and wish-you-well's
Expressing frustration with insincere expressions of concern and goodwill.
He bought a cheap road bike and lives in hotels
Choosing a simple and transient lifestyle as a response to disillusionment.
Feeling strange and short changed, maybe a little insane
Feeling unusual and unsatisfied, possibly with a touch of madness.
These days, it's hard for me to paint your face
Struggling to vividly remember someone in current circumstances.
With just the palette of my memory
Being unable to recreate the beauty of a person's presence from memory alone.
Your flowers and grace seem to wilt away
Noticing the fading of positive qualities and charm in one's recollections.
In the dark corners of my mind's eye
Darkening or negative aspects affecting the mental image of a person.
I know with just the taste of your lips
Believing that the touch of a loved one could bring stability and calm.
My hands would stop their shaking
Confidence that physical intimacy could alleviate nervousness or trembling.
I know with just the touch of your skin
Expectation that the touch of a loved one could ease mental distress.
My brain would stop it's breaking
Hoping for emotional relief through physical closeness.
Ain't it strange how the sun can make the whole night change
Reflecting on the transformative power of positive experiences, like sunlight dispelling darkness.
