Dreams
Journey Through Shifting Realities: Johnny Hunter's 'Dreams' Unveiled
Lyrics
There's a place where the weather's ever changing
There is a place with unpredictable weather.
The city's steeple is a beacon to its home
The city's steeple serves as a guiding light for its residents.
The iron gates of heaven open up the doorway to the harbour
The gates of heaven open to reveal a pathway to the harbor.
And in the paper today there is no ink on the page
The newspaper today is blank, symbolizing a lack of information or meaning.
Because the writing is on the wall
The writing is on the wall, suggesting a clear and unavoidable message or fate.
Up the hill backwards
Going uphill in a challenging direction.
Speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues, possibly a reference to communication difficulties or confusion.
You are a runaway
You are a runaway, someone escaping from a situation.
With nowhere to run
Having nowhere to run, feeling trapped or without options.
I don't ever want to wake up
Expressing a desire not to wake up from a dream.
And realise I'm still dreaming of you
Fearing the realization that the dream involves thinking about someone.
Can you feel the changes?
Asking if one can sense or perceive the changes.
Changes in the weather
Referring to changes in the weather as a metaphor for life's transitions.
Stuck somewhere in-between the past and the future
Feeling stuck between the past and the future.
And in the paper today there is no ink on the page
Similar to Line #4, emphasizing a lack of meaningful information in the newspaper.
Because the writing's written on the wall
The message or fate is written on the wall, reinforcing its inevitability.
Up the hill backwards
Repeating the uphill journey in a challenging direction.
Speaking in tongues
Reiterating communication difficulties or confusion.
You are a runaway
Reaffirming the idea of escaping from a situation.
With nowhere to run
Reemphasizing the feeling of being trapped without options.
I don't ever want to wake up
Repeating the desire not to wake up from a dream.
And realise I'm still dreaming of you
Reiterating the fear of realizing that the dream involves thoughts of someone.
