Pipe Dreams
Living Through Realities: Embracing the Good and Bad
Lyrics
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
Expressing a desire for honesty and authenticity, not wanting to be deceived by false promises or illusions.
I wanna live with you through everything
Expressing a commitment to a deep and enduring connection, wanting to share life's experiences together.
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
Reiterating the rejection of false hopes or unrealistic expectations.
I wanna live in a kaleidoscope
Expressing a desire to experience life in all its diverse and colorful aspects.
Don't sell me no pipe dreams
Continuing to reject deceptive or unrealistic visions of the future.
Wanna be the one to spin the wheel
Expressing a desire to take an active role in shaping one's destiny, not just passively accepting what comes.
I know that we can only give
Acknowledging the limitation of giving only when there is hope or optimism.
When we have hope
Highlighting the importance of hope in the ability to give.
I don't wanna live
Expressing a reluctance to live a life without meaningful goals.
Without any goals
Emphasizing the value of having objectives in life.
Can't protect me from nothing
Acknowledging the inability of others to shield from life's challenges or difficulties.
Can't save me from the truth
Recognizing that the truth cannot be avoided or escaped.
You can't even save me from you
Highlighting the inability of others, including oneself, to provide complete protection from personal truths.
So don't sell me no pipe dreams
Reiterating the rejection of false or unrealistic expectations, emphasizing a desire for authenticity.
I wanna feel the good and bad in everything
Expressing a desire to experience both the positive and negative aspects of life.
Even when it hurts, even when it hurts
Emphasizing a willingness to endure hardships or pain for the sake of a genuine and complete life experience.
I know that we can only give
Reiterating the importance of hope in the ability to give.
When we got a little hope
Emphasizing the burden of living with unfulfilled aspirations or haunting memories.
But I don't like the burden
Expressing discomfort with the weight of carrying emotional baggage.
Of living with these ghosts
Expressing a commitment to maintaining self-esteem in the face of challenges or criticisms.
Yes, I will hold my head high
Committing to pride and self-assurance when facing public scrutiny or judgment.
When I walk in your parade
Expressing a determination to maintain confidence while participating in public events.
But I will always check my gait
Committing to self-awareness and vigilance in personal behavior and actions.
I will always watch my gait
Reiterating the commitment to being mindful of one's conduct.
Pipe dreams, pipe dreams
Repetition of the rejection of unrealistic dreams and a preference for moving forward without false illusions.
Pipe dreams, pipe dreams
