Broken Dreams
Unraveling Nightmares: Quentin Johnston's Tale of Shattered Hopes
Lyrics
A sound disturbed my ear
A disturbing noise caught my attention
A tremor in the air
A subtle vibration in the atmosphere
Woke me from the stories in my head
Interrupted my thoughts and imagination
A knock came from my door
A knock echoed on my door
Like a pounding in my chest
Similar to a pounding sensation in my chest
Made me leave the comfort of my bed
Forced me to leave the comfort of my bed
I look behind the blinds
I cautiously looked behind the blinds
Could not believe my eyes
Unable to believe what I saw
An army of unfriendly faces
An intimidating group of unfriendly faces
Oh
Expressing a feeling of shock or realization
I tried to close my eyes to fall asleep
I attempted to shut my eyes and sleep
Oh
Reiteration of the attempt to escape the harsh reality
They’ve torn the seam that held my broken dreams
They destroyed the connection holding my shattered dreams
Then tearing down my walls
Dismantling the protective barriers around me
They grabbed me limb from limb
Physically harming and tearing me apart
Threw me in the cold air of the night
Thrown into the harsh, cold reality of the night
They held their torches lit
They carried torches, symbolizing destructive intent
Like the fire in the eyes
Similar to the intensity of fire in their eyes
Burning everything I had in sight
Burning and destroying everything within sight
The rain beneath my feet
The ground beneath my feet turned into rain
My tears staining beneath
My tears adding to the somber atmosphere
The ashes of my broken dreams
The remnants of my shattered dreams now lie as ashes
Oh
Reiteration of the attempt to escape through sleep
I tried to close my eyes to fall asleep
Continued struggle to shut out the painful reality
Oh
They've torn apart the connection to my broken dreams
They’ve torn the seam that held my broken dreams
Repeating the destruction of the dream-holding seam
Oh
Reiteration of the attempt to escape through sleep
I tried to close my eyes to fall asleep
Continued struggle to shut out the painful reality
Oh
They've torn apart the connection to my broken dreams
They’ve torn the seam that held my broken dreams
Repeating the destruction of the dream-holding seam
My broken dreams
Highlighting the ownership and significance of the shattered dreams
That held my broken dreams
Reiteration emphasizing the possession of the broken dreams
My broken dreams
Repetition underlining the significance of the shattered dreams
My broken dreams
Final emphasis on the personal and emotional impact of the broken dreams
