Blue Dreams
Blue Dreams: Redundancy, Reflections, and the Pursuit of Freedom
Lyrics
Blue dreams
Feeling melancholic or downcast thoughts or emotions.
Coming out of my head
Expressing thoughts or ideas emerging from the mind.
Now im standing by the cash till
Being present at a cash register, possibly symbolic of a transaction or financial interaction.
Waiting for them to see
Anticipating acknowledgment or recognition for actions taken.
What I did in the board room
Reflecting on past actions or decisions made in a formal setting (board room).
Where they gave me my redundancy pay cheque
Recalling a moment of job termination and receiving severance pay.
Burning down the convenience store
Mentioning an act of rebellion or destruction against a convenience store.
I could take you on a cruise to the Seychelles
Suggesting the ability to provide an extravagant experience, perhaps contrasting with the previous lines.
Or the Bahamas
Listing tropical destinations, emphasizing a desire to escape from current circumstances.
We won't have to see these people again
Expressing a wish to avoid encountering certain individuals again.
Blue dreams
Repetition of "Blue dreams," reinforcing a persistent melancholic state.
Sitting on my settee
Describing a state of relaxation or idleness on a couch.
Yeah I'm lazy and I'm tired and I constantly complain about the life style I've been living
Acknowledging laziness, fatigue, and dissatisfaction with the current lifestyle.
It cannot be maintained
Suggesting the impossibility of sustaining the current way of life.
I can hear the sounds of sirens
Noticing the distant sounds of emergency vehicles in an urban setting.
Over offices and tower blocks that I'll probably never see again
Reflecting on urban environments and realizing the likelihood of never returning to certain places.
Life is passing you by
Contemplating the swift passage of time and missed opportunities.
Why did I choose this?
Pondering the reasons for choosing the current path or lifestyle.
Life ?
Questioning the meaning or purpose of life.
Life is passing you by
Reiteration of the idea that life is passing by, reinforcing a sense of urgency or regret.
