In Dreams
Unraveling the Tapestry of Freedom: In Dreams by Lula Wiles
Lyrics
How am I supposed to know?
Expressing uncertainty and seeking understanding.
What to do with it, what to say
Questioning how to handle a situation, what to express, and what to keep quiet.
What to play up or play down
Contemplating what aspects to emphasize or downplay.
Ooo, freedom
Reflecting on the concept of freedom.
So unbearable to watch
Describing the difficulty of witnessing something oppressive or distressing.
So untenable to chase
Highlighting the challenges of pursuing something elusive or unattainable.
Not everything can be changed
Acknowledging that not everything can be changed.
History, trapped in your face
Referring to the impact of history, which is evident in one's face.
How am I supposed to be?
Pondering how to exist authentically.
Knowing you, when you don't know me
Expressing the challenge of understanding someone who doesn't reciprocate the effort.
I can't change the face I see,
Accepting the inability to change one's inherent identity.
And you can't face the change I need
Noting the difficulty others have in accepting necessary personal changes.
Ooo, freedom
Reiterating the theme of freedom, possibly emphasizing its significance.
In the grave or in the tree
Exploring the various forms of existence, from life to death.
From the plains to the city
Describing a range of environments, from rural to urban.
Chains to build the reverie
Repeated emphasis on the necessity of building dreams or aspirations, likened to chains.

there's copper in my head
-There's bones in my bed
-There's silver in your hand
-There's leather in my skin
-There's gold in the land
-How are you supposed to see
Posing a question about perceiving the imperceptible.
That which you cannot perceive
Highlighting the challenge of recognizing things beyond one's current understanding.
Haven't been taught to believe
Noting the lack of education or exposure hindering belief in certain possibilities.
When you're living in a dream
Describing living in a dreamlike state.
Ooo, freedom

Ooo, is for some
