Broken Dreams
Unraveling Broken Dreams: A Poetic Journey of Identity and Desires
Lyrics
These dreams are broken
These dreams are shattered and unfulfilled.
They don’t make sense anymore
They no longer have coherence or meaning.
I don’t wanna be
The speaker expresses a reluctance to embody something others dream of.
What you dream of really
The speaker doesn't want to be the idealized version in someone else's dreams.
When you dream of me
Reference to the disparity between the dreamt version and the actual self.
I’m living in
The speaker feels immersed in another person's aspirations.
Somebody else’s dream right now
Currently living in someone else's dream, possibly feeling out of place.
I’m living in
A repetition emphasizing the displacement in living someone else's dream.
Somebody else’s dream
Continuation of the unsettling feeling of living in another's dream.
It is unsettling
Expresses discomfort or unease with the current situation.
Figuring it out who’s driving the car
Pondering and trying to identify the person steering the course of life.
I would never go there would I
The speaker is hesitant about venturing into certain realms.
Let me out let me out let me out
A plea or desire to break free from the confinements of the current situation.
This road is tread on
The path has been walked before, suggesting familiarity.
And we’re gliding on it
Moving smoothly along the familiar path, possibly without conscious control.
Like we’ve been here before
A sense of déjà vu or repetition in the journey.
But no one’s driving
No clear direction or purpose, as no one is driving.
And the sky opened up its arms
A metaphorical gesture from the sky, suggesting openness or vulnerability.
Come to me come to me come
An invitation or plea to someone to approach or connect.
I’m living in living in
Reiteration of being ensconced in another person's dreams.
Somebody else’s dream
The speaker remains in the dream of someone else, possibly unable to break free.
I won’t stop I won’t be
Determination to persist in the current state despite challenges.
Who am I to you
A question pondering the speaker's identity in the eyes of others.
And who are you to me
A reciprocal question about the identity of the person addressed.
A broken dream a broken dream a broken dream
Repetition emphasizing the broken and unfulfilled nature of the dream.
