Lyrics
And so it seems
Introduction, stating an observation or realization.
That sleep makes dreams
Highlighting the connection between sleep and dreams.
And sleeplessness makes us
Suggesting that a lack of sleep influences our state of being.
That's fine
Acceptance of the situation mentioned in line 3.
Melatonin and wine
Mention of substances (melatonin and wine) that may aid sleep.
We got way too close
Describing a close encounter or relationship.
Way too quickly
Expressing the rapid progression of the relationship.
To hopefulness to which we are both hopelessly addicted
Acknowledging a shared addiction to hopefulness.
I'd say the tree still needs another bell
Suggesting the need for further commitment or effort.
Judgment, don't fail me now
Pleading for good judgment in the situation.
It's getting in my dreams
Repetition emphasizing the intrusion of something into dreams.
It's getting in my dreams
-It's getting in my dreams
-And everything is always worse, babe
Stating a generalization about the difficulty of early morning.
At 4:30 in the morning
Specifying a challenging time (4:30 in the morning).
Blackbird has died
Symbolic references to birds, possibly representing change.
Red bird is on the rise
-Guess this is why
Reflecting on the complexities of emotions.
I've always both loved and hated
Expressing mixed feelings towards the dawn's light.
The sick gray light of the dawn
-But your hand is your wand
Metaphorical references to personal agency and readiness.
And your landscape is drawn
-And your chariot awaits
-Beyond despondency
Anticipation of a positive turn, overcoming despair.
The wheels will cut the earth
-Your chariot awaits
-It's getting in my dreams
Continued intrusion into dreams with a negative tone.
It's a bad shade of green
-But I don't care what they say
Indifference to others' opinions about the dreamer.
My dreams might say about me
-I need, I need something beautiful to carry
Desire for something beautiful to uplift and carry.
And you're all I care about, babe
Declaring exclusive care for a specific person.
You're all I care about, babe
-Your hand is your wand
Reiteration of personal agency and readiness with emphasis on a positive future.
And your landscape is drawn
-And your chariot awaits
