Ghost Song
Awaken Dreams: Unveiling the Profound Meaning in 'Ghost Song'
Lyrics
Awake
Being alert or conscious
Shake dreams from your hair
Get rid of unrealistic or unattainable dreams
My pretty child, my sweet one
Addressing a beloved or innocent person
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
Make choices in life, including the timing and the symbolic aspects
The day's divinity
The divine nature of the day
First thing you see
The first thing that captures your attention
A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Imagery of a beautiful, expansive beach under a moonlit sky
Couples naked race down by it's quiet side
People running naked along the beach
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Sharing carefree laughter like innocent children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
Feeling content in the simplicity of infancy
The music and voices are all around us
Sensory overload with music and voices surrounding
Choose, they croon the ancient ones
Encouragement to make choices from ancient wisdom
The time has come again
A call to action, suggesting a critical moment in time
Choose now, they croon
Reiteration of the importance of making choices
Beneath the moon
Emphasizing the moon as a significant backdrop for decisions
Beside an ancient lake
Located next to a timeless and significant body of water
Enter again the sweet forest
Returning to nature, perhaps symbolizing a return to simplicity
Enter the hot dream
Entering a dreamlike state with intense emotions
Come with us
An invitation to join in a surreal experience
Everything is broken up and dances
Everything is chaotic and unpredictable
Indians scattered on Dawn's Highway bleeding
References to a historical event or a metaphor for a troubled journey
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
The impact of past experiences on a young, vulnerable mind
