Dreams Unraveled: Michael Timmons' St. Andrews Story
Lyrics
Was it bad?
Questioning if the incident was severe
The way his head just cracked on the concrete ground in rain
Describing a traumatic event where someone's head hit the ground in the rain
Was it fast?
Inquiring about the speed of the unfortunate event
Look at me as you speak each and every word they said
Asking to be looked at while hearing the details spoken
And relay
Requesting to convey the information
The slow-motion TV display, each and every scene by scene
Describing a slow-motion portrayal on TV, possibly of the incident
Tell me you've just fallen asleep
Requesting confirmation of being asleep
Tell me you're just trying to sleep this one off
Asking if the listener is attempting to sleep to cope with something
To the gaps
Referring to gaps between cobblestones, suggesting a spatial metaphor
Between the cobbles lapsed, let it move as stones connect
Encouraging movement as stones connect in these gaps
To the lace
Referring to lace, possibly metaphorical, and neon lights reflecting on the waist
Measured to be placed, the neon lights on the waist reflects
Emphasizing careful measurement in placing something
Is this news?
Questioning the authenticity of news or information
The paper-thin legs they just move, hold each other close like that
Describing thin legs in motion, holding each other closely
Tell me you've just fallen asleep
Repeating the request for confirmation of being asleep
Tell me you're just trying to sleep this one off
Reiterating the idea of trying to sleep as a coping mechanism
Tell me you've just fallen asleep
Repeating the request for confirmation of being asleep
Tell me you're just trying to sleep this one off
Reiterating the idea of trying to sleep as a coping mechanism
The clicking key, the station is seen
Mentioning a clicking key and a visible station, possibly indicating a setting change
Where the gown had been with a fraying seam
Describing a gown with a fraying seam
And they all arrive and take their seats
People arriving and taking seats to witness a conscious separation of love
To watch the love so consciously be pulled apart
Observing the intentional pulling apart of love
And we keep our hands in-between
Keeping hands in-between, possibly symbolizing a barrier or separation
Tell me you've just fallen asleep
Repeating the request for confirmation of being asleep
Tell me you're just trying to sleep this one off
Reiterating the idea of trying to sleep as a coping mechanism
