Lyrics
Got a feeling all my dreams are old
Feeling that one's dreams are outdated or past their prime.
Got a feeling tight like stranglehold
Feeling trapped and constrained, as if in a stranglehold.
once concealed now revealed
Something once hidden is now exposed or disclosed.
layers peel and truth unreels
Layers of falsehood are peeling away, revealing the truth.
cloven, ruptured judged and shrill
Divided, broken, judged harshly, and loud.
broken down, brought to heel
Reduced and subdued, brought under control.
Got a feeling all my dreams are gold
Reiteration of the feeling that dreams are valuable or significant.
it covered up my soul
Dreams covering and influencing the essence of one's being.
uncaged, outraged something rotten
Emotions set free, expressing strong disapproval or disgust.
uncaged, outraged

I peek through close-up heavens
Observing closely the heavenly, ideal aspects, while the truth is revealed.
while bells from hell show the lie
Bells from hell expose deception or falsehood.
Rotten soul

been washed in gold
A corrupted soul, now gilded with wealth or false allure.
this muddy rain wiped it out

my black old dreams won’t take you back
Unwillingness of past dark dreams to be revisited or reclaimed.

been washed in gold

this muddy rain wiped it out

This is the time for you to go…
A time for a departure or a change in direction.
black old dreams washed in gold
Reiteration of the unwillingness of past dark dreams to return.
eyes shut, a dirty rain wipes me out
Closing lines expressing surrender or defeat in a corrupt world.
