Far Away the Hills Are Green
Chasing Californian Dreams in Rain-soaked Memories
Lyrics
we were on
We were present or engaged.
the sofa falling
Sitting on the sofa, potentially feeling drowsy.
asleep as the rain battered down
Falling asleep while rain heavily falls.
on the conservatory glass
Rain hitting the glass of the conservatory.
nothin else sounds like that
Unique sound of rain on the glass.
it was so loud, couldn't hear the TV
The rain was so loud that the TV couldn't be heard.
our uniforms lying soggy on the ground
Uniforms left wet on the ground.
chloe don't close your eyes
A plea to Chloe to stay awake.
we'll never get this place organised
Expressing difficulty in organizing the place.
i wished we were like californians
Desire to be carefree like Californians.
as cool as the car in the morning
Admiration for the coolness of a car in the morning.
i wanted everything they had
Yearning for everything Californians possess.
the swimming pool, sun and sand
List of desirable things: swimming pool, sun, and sand.
the coffee in the kitchen
Mention of coffee in the kitchen, possibly symbolizing comfort.
now they come in their droves
People arriving in large numbers.
distant cousins i suppose
Speculation about the visitors being distant relatives.
to see our ancient things
Visitors interested in ancient items.
magic stones, that kinda thing
Reference to magical stones or artifacts.
trying to fill some emptiness i guess
Assumption that visitors seek to fill an emptiness.
trying to fill that emptiness i guess
Reiteration of the visitors attempting to fill emptiness.
just like the rest of us
Comparing visitors to the speaker and others.
far away the hills are green
Indication of a distant, idealized place.
