Once in a Dream
Journey Through Dreams: Maia Kamil's Soaring Tale
Lyrics
Once in a dream when I knew I could fly
Reflecting on a moment in a dream where the speaker felt a sense of freedom and empowerment, likening it to the ability to fly.
Where the horses were blue and the river ran high
Describing a dream landscape with surreal elements, such as blue horses and a high-flowing river.
And I didn't know why and I didn't know who
Expressing a lack of understanding about the dream, questioning the reasons and identities involved.
So I went down down down
Descending or transitioning in the dream, using repetition for emphasis.
To the valley so red and the mountain so low
Depicting a vivid setting with a red valley and low mountains, introducing cold sun and slow leopards.
Where the sun ran cold and the leopards ran slow
Continuing the dream imagery with a contrast of elements, possibly representing a complex or contradictory situation.
And I didn't know why and I didn't know who so I went down
Reiterating the confusion and lack of knowledge about the dream.
Down let me go
Repeating the desire or action to go down in the dream, emphasizing a descending journey.
Down let me go
-Down let me go let me go
-Down let me go
-Down let me go
-Down
-Once in a dream when I knew I could fly
Revisiting a dream where the speaker could fly, now introducing a dead moon and the revelation from the wind.
Where the moon had died and the wind told me why
Continuing dream imagery with deep roots, weeping branches, and dancing, all while maintaining a sense of confusion about the dream.
And I didn't know why and I didn't know who
-So I went down
-Where the roots ran deep
-And the branches they weeped
-Still they danced in the clothes they reaped
-And I didn't know why and I didn't know who
-So I went down
Down let me go
Repeating the theme of descending in the dream, reiterating the desire to go down.
Down let me go
-Down let me go let me go
-Down let me go
-Down let me go
-Down
-Where I saw your face on the side of a bus
Introducing a new dream scenario involving seeing a face, running through sand and dust, and leaving someone behind in a parade.
Ran eight lights through the sand and dust
-I hopped onto another plain
-Left you marching in your own parade
-Down to the morning where the sighs are deep
Transitioning to a morning scene with deep sighs, coffee, and a struggle between grounded reality and the dream of holding someone's hand.
Down to my coffee where I pray for sleep
-Feet on the ground head in the sand
-and I choked on a dream I was holding your hand
-and I feel down down down down down
Concluding the lyrics with a sense of falling or descent, possibly indicating a loss or failure in the dream.
