When We Dreamed
Journey Beyond the Horizon: Unveiling the Depths of Dreams
Lyrics
If you turn towards the way the ship did come
Reflecting on the direction from which a significant change or event arrived
You can smell the earth that you and I lived on
Recalling familiar scents and memories from a shared past
All the pity that you had on me back then
Remembrance of empathy or compassion directed toward the speaker previously
All the Sunday afternoons with all your friends
Recollection of past leisurely times spent with the listener's friends
You never did think I'd reach the deep
Doubt regarding the listener's belief in the speaker's capabilities
Of the world we found when you still had a dream
Exploring a world of aspirations and possibilities from the past
But now the time below your feet has turned to stone
Time passing and hardening emotions or circumstances
And the children at your knees they will never know
The next generation unaware of past experiences or wisdom
It was two miles long and you were never coming back
A significant separation distance, emotionally and physically
From the hill where you left no track
A place of departure without leaving a trace
From the hill where you bled and died
Association of departure with suffering and death
Forget you I couldn't if I wanted to
The impossibility of forgetting the listener, despite the desire to do so
Even if the moon stayed true
A persistent connection even if celestial bodies were inconsistent
Even if the sun told lies
Even in a situation of conflicting or deceptive circumstances
And on the edge of all the trouble we did find
Recognition of facing difficulties together
There was a life that you and I now we cannot hide
Acknowledgment of a life shared that cannot be concealed or denied
But if you like the way the road is bending on
Offering a choice to depart if the listener prefers a different path
Well then I'll leave you with the sparrows and be gone
Willingness to part ways with the listener
And your sky may turn to red and blue and black
Consequences of the listener's choices leading to limited perspectives
But you may never see the sky with what you had
Missing out on experiences due to past decisions
So if you turn towards the way the ship did come
Reiterating the direction of arrival for introspection
You can find the earth that you and I lived on
Rediscovering the familiarity of a shared environment
It was two miles long and you were never coming back
Repetition of emotional and physical distance
From the hill where you left no track
A place of departure without leaving a trace, reiterated
From the hill where you bled and died
Reiteration of the association of departure with suffering and death
Forget you I couldn't if I wanted to
The impossibility of forgetting the listener, reiterated
Even if the moon stayed true
Reiteration of the persistence of connection despite inconsistencies
Even if the sun told lies
Reiteration of persisting connection despite conflicting circumstances
Now you can't tell me what we had was a worn-out stay
Rejecting the idea that their shared experience was transient or insignificant
'Cause if you'd gone that way
Speculating that the listener would regret a different choice
You'd be the one with eyes dried
Emphasizing the listener's potential regret and emotional state
And if you hold your heart I'm certain you can go back there
Encouraging the listener to revisit a past emotional state
To the world you spared
Returning to a past world the listener once preserved
When you still kept your nights bright
Recalling a time when the listener's nights were optimistic and bright
And if you turn towards the way the ship did come
Reiterating the direction of arrival for introspection, reiterated
You can smell the earth that you and I lived on
Recalling the familiar scents and memories of the shared past, reiterated
