London Dreaming
London Dreaming: Navigating Identity in a Foreign Canvas
Lyrics
You walk away in a foreign land
You are leaving in a foreign land.
The sun covers the sky
The sun is dominating the sky.
You walk away in a foreign land
You are departing in a foreign land.
Nobody knows you're high
No one is aware that you are under the influence.
London dreaming
Dreaming about London.
Has took it's toll on me
London has had a negative impact on the speaker.
London dreaming
Continued dreams about London.
Has took it's toll on me
London has taken a toll on the speaker.
I don't mind
The speaker doesn't mind pretending to be someone else.
Acting like somebody else
Choosing to act as a different persona.
I'm Gemini
The speaker identifies as a Gemini.
The sun caught up your eyes
The sun illuminates your eyes.
You walk away in a foreign land
Leaving in a foreign land again.
The trees they turn and sigh
Trees change and make sounds.
You walk away in a foreign land
Departing in a foreign land, missing those who have passed away.
You miss the ones who died
Feeling the absence of loved ones.
And if I were to go back home now
Contemplating a return home and anticipating reactions of laughter or tears.
Will they laugh or cry
Concerns about the reception upon returning.
And if my children knock on my door
If the speaker's children come knocking, will the speaker care?
Will I even mind
Questioning the speaker's emotional response to their own children.
London dreaming
Reiteration of the toll London has taken on the speaker.
Has took it's toll on me
London dreaming
-Has took it's toll on me
London's influence has affected the speaker.
I don't mind
The speaker doesn't mind pretending to be someone else.
Acting like somebody else
Choosing to act as a different persona.
I'm Gemini
The speaker identifies as a Gemini.
London dreaming
Reiteration of London dreaming.
London dreaming
London dreaming
-Yeah yeah yeah
Expressing the intensity of London dreaming.
London dreaming
London dreaming
-London dreaming
-Yeah yeah yeah
