Skies of Gold
Dreams in Color: Navigating Realities, Love, and Loss with Painted City's 'Skies of Gold'
Lyrics
I woke up from, a fevered dream where
The speaker awakens from a vivid dream
The skies were made of gold
In the dream, the skies were depicted as being made of gold
My hands were shaking and my bones were aching
The speaker feels physical discomfort and distress
My heart was screaming to return
Emotionally, the speaker's heart urges a return to something
Is this where it ends, after we have come so far
Questioning if this is the end despite considerable progress
Realities apart, worlds that never cross
There are separate realities or worlds that don't intersect
Alone at night, eating me away inside
Feelings of loneliness and internal decay at night
Thumbing through your photographs, when did I fall off the track
Reflecting on memories through photographs and realizing a deviation from the intended path
Stuck between the black and white
Feeling stuck between opposing forces or choices
I dream in color
Even in waking life, the speaker's dreams are vibrant and lively
Awake but still asleep inside
A sense of being conscious but emotionally detached or distant
I dream in color
Reiteration of dreaming in vivid colors, contrasting the monotony of reality
Oceans of light and fields of blue where
Imagery of vastness and beauty—symbolizing hope and positivity
Flowers are always in bloom
A depiction of perpetual beauty and positivity
In the shade under, the cherry tree we
Sharing a moment under a cherry tree, gazing at the golden sky
Stare up to a sky of gold
Reflecting on the potential end despite significant progress
Is this where it ends, after we have come so far
Reference to disconnected realities despite advancement
Realities apart, worlds that never cross
Separate worlds or realities that never intersect
Alone at night, eating me away inside
Feelings of isolation and internal struggle during nighttime
Thumbing through your photographs, when did I fall off the track
Reviewing memories through photographs, acknowledging a deviation from the right path
Stuck between the black and white
Feeling caught between polarized choices or situations
I dream in color
Continued emphasis on dreaming vividly even in waking life
Awake but still asleep inside
Being conscious but emotionally distant or detached
I dream in color
Repetition of dreaming in vibrant colors, contrasting reality
Stuck between the black and white
Feeling trapped between opposing forces or choices
I dream in color
Continued emphasis on dreaming vividly despite reality
Awake but still asleep inside
Being awake but emotionally detached or distant
I dream in color
Reiteration of dreaming in vivid colors as an escape from monotony
Stuck between the black and white
Feeling stuck between opposing forces or choices
I dream in color
Continued emphasis on dreaming vividly despite reality
Awake but still asleep inside
Being conscious but emotionally detached or distant
I dream in color
Reiteration of the vividly colorful dreams despite being in a contrasting, mundane reality
