Magic Beans
Sowing Dreams with Martin Kerr's Magic Beans
Lyrics
I wish I had a bag of magic beans
The desire for something extraordinary or magical.
Throw 'em out the window and your dreams come true overnight
Belief in a quick and effortless way to achieve dreams.
Well you can call me Jack
Identification with the character Jack from the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, emphasizing a sense of having achieved very little despite efforts.
'Cause when you really stack it up I've come to nothing
A reflection on personal accomplishments resulting in a feeling of inadequacy or failure.
We bled to build it up and here they come to break it down again
An expression of frustration at seeing hard work destroyed or devalued.
There's cracks in the cup we're losing time but this is not the end
Despite difficulties, there's hope for the future; it's not the ultimate conclusion.
It's been a long night and your eyes are burning
Feeling exhausted after a prolonged period of struggle or difficulty.
Hold tight, while the sky is turning
Stay resilient while facing a changing or challenging situation.
Some light's gonna make it through the dark
Optimism that some positivity will emerge even in dark times.
I know I know that we keep spinning round in spirals
Sense of going in circles or repeating patterns.
Knee-deep in our own denial
Being deeply entrenched in avoiding facing truths or realities.
Don't sleep, we can make it through the dark
Encouragement to stay awake and aware to overcome challenges.
We're gonna make it through
Reaffirmation of the belief in overcoming difficulties.
We're gonna make it through
Reiteration of the resolve to persevere and succeed.
Maybe I should marry you my friend
Contemplation about commitment or a serious relationship.
Happy ever after is it just pretend or a dream?
Questioning the validity of happily-ever-after scenarios, pondering if they are real or mere fantasies.
Would you have me if I ask?
Asking for commitment or acceptance from someone.
I can hardly breathe without this mask on my face
Feeling suffocated or constrained without revealing true emotions.
And if the midnight bell, turns us back to children again
Imagining a scenario where maturity is reversed to innocence.
We'll ride the carousel round and round even til the end
Despite challenges, commitment to persist together till the end.
It's been a long night and your eyes are burning
Reiteration of exhaustion due to a long-lasting struggle.
Hold tight, while the sky is turning
Encouragement to hold on despite the changing circumstances.
Some light's gonna make it through the dark
Belief that positivity will emerge amidst darkness.
I know I know that we keep spinning round in spirals
Recognition of being stuck in repetitive patterns of behavior.
Knee-deep in our own denial
Being deeply entrenched in avoiding facing truths or realities, similar to line 12.
Don't sleep, we can make it through the dark
Encouragement to stay awake and aware to overcome challenges, similar to line 13.
We're gonna make it through
Confidence in the ability to overcome obstacles.
We're gonna make it through
Reaffirmation of the determination to succeed.
