A Dream Gone Wrong
A Call for Love Amidst Life's Hard Realities
Lyrics
How high a mountain must I climb ,
Expressing the challenges and difficulties the speaker faces, akin to climbing a mountain.
To reach for air ,
Desire for something essential, comparing it to reaching for air.
To breath the air so clear so pure ,
Desiring clear and pure air that could have a profound impact.
Could blow my mind ,
Suggesting that the experience sought could be overwhelming and mind-blowing.
In my mind there is a place ,
Referring to a mental space that accommodates everyone and every preference.
For everyone for every taste ,
Highlighting inclusivity, implying a place for everyone in the speaker's mind.
But in this life reality can shoot you dead ,
Contrasting the ideal mental space with the harsh reality of discrimination and violence.
For the colour of your face ,
Pointing to the dangers and consequences based on one's race or color.
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
Acknowledging the difficulty in escaping challenges despite efforts.
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Expressing skepticism or diversity in religious beliefs.
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
Emphasizing the role of love in overcoming hardships and preventing sorrow.
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
Addressing the inevitability of death and the inability to change it.
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
Admitting the limits of understanding life's purpose or mechanisms.
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
Encouraging persistence and resilience despite challenges and uncertainties.
I've seen a poison river flow ,
Describing a bleak and polluted environment, possibly metaphorical.
A land where nothing grows ,
Depicting a land where growth and prosperity are absent.
I've watching the man of fascist mind ,
Criticizing individuals with oppressive and dictatorial ideologies.
Kill in the name of love ,
Highlighting the irony of killing in the name of love, exposing the contradictions in human actions.
The futile war the human crime ,
Referring to the futility of war and the broader spectrum of human wrongdoing.
The sacred scream just biding time ,
Describing a moment of intense emotion or outcry with a sacred scream.
And who are we to take in vain ,
Raising questions about humanity's entitlement to the world and expressing shame.
This precious world I'm full of shame ,
Continuing the theme of shame regarding humanity's treatment of the world.
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
Reiterating the difficulty of avoiding challenges and hardships.
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Reflecting skepticism about universal belief in a higher power.
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
Stressing the significance of love in coping with sorrow and adversity.
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
Acknowledging the inevitability of death and the inability to change it.
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
Admitting the limits of understanding life's purpose or mechanisms.
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
Encouraging persistence and resilience despite challenges and uncertainties.
If the dreams gone wrong let your heart be strong ,
Encouraging strength in the face of shattered dreams.
If the dreams gone wrong , don't let hope fade away ,
Advising against losing hope when dreams don't materialize as expected.
And who are we to take in vain ,
Raising questions about humanity's entitlement to the world and expressing shame.
The precious world I'm full of shame ,
Continuing the theme of shame regarding humanity's treatment of the world.
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
Reiterating the difficulty of avoiding challenges and hardships.
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
