The same fear as you

These dreams of ours

Got up and walked out

To take a look around
The speaker explores the aftermath of the abandoned dreams.
Gave a wave when they said goodbye
A farewell gesture when the dreams are left behind.
Burned by the sun

Burned by the sun
Repetition of the hardship caused by the metaphorical sun.
And we all will be undone
The collective experience of facing inevitable consequences.
Burned by the sun

The cold ground we knew
The familiar and stable ground becomes harsh and unyielding.
Cracked and crumbled

Take my past with you
The speaker wants to leave their past behind.
All those blue skies
Recollection of better times represented by blue skies.
Shone on my face
Memories of a time when positivity was present.
Till they gave up the ghost
The positive memories eventually fade away.
Playing like I could catch the moon
An aspiration that proves elusive or unattainable.
Right here you’ll blind me
The speaker is affected by someone or something in their immediate surroundings.
Burned by the sun
Reiteration of the metaphorical burning by the sun.
Burned by the sun
Repetition of the impact of the metaphorical sun.
And we all will be undone
The inevitability of facing adverse consequences collectively.
Burned by the sun
Reiteration of the lasting impact of the metaphorical sun.
