Head in the Clouds
Escaping Reality: Journey of Dreams & Self-Discovery
Lyrics
They build your dreams up then you
They inspire and encourage your dreams, but as you grow older, societal pressures and expectations suppress those dreams.
Grow up and they beat them out of you
As you mature, external influences extinguish the aspirations that were once nurtured in you.
Feel the way home
Searching for the path that leads back to a familiar and comforting place.
It’s in your head fading, it’s in your head waiting
The dreams are receding from your consciousness, lingering and waiting to resurface.
Close your eyes now
Close your eyes to escape reality.
there’s something there fading, something there waiting, yeah
Something significant is diminishing and awaiting acknowledgment in the realm of imagination.
You ran from what you knew
You've fled from familiarity, but self-awareness and personal challenges are inescapable.
But you couldn’t outrun you
No matter how far you run, you cannot escape from yourself.
Look outside
Observe the external world; there's a fading presence, a waiting essence. Close your eyes to perceive it.
there’s something there fading, something there waiting Close your eyes now
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the importance of introspection and awareness.
Feel your head changing, Feel your head changing, yeah
Sensations of change within your mind, a transformative experience.
Where all we are is all we know to be
Our existence is limited to what we are aware of, emphasizing self-awareness as a defining aspect of life.
Your head’s still spinning when it could be off the ground And all we know is all we see
Despite potential for elevation, your thoughts are still grounded, preventing true liberation.
Your head’s still swimming when it could be in the clouds
Your mind remains immersed in thoughts when it could be liberated and elevated like being in the clouds.
It’s all in your mind or so they say
Society claims everything is a product of your mind, but this perspective can be limiting. Critical thinking is encouraged.
And thinking eats up living in that way Think outside your head
Overthinking hinders living; a call to break free from mental constraints. Encouragement to explore beyond conventional thoughts.
And you’re free, high on instinct
Freedom comes from thinking beyond norms and following instincts.
If the kid within you
Encouraging introspection by asking the inner child within you to evaluate your current self.
Took a look at you what would he see now?
Reflecting on whether the youthful, imaginative self would be proud or disappointed in the current state.
All we are is all we know to be
Reiteration of the idea that our awareness defines our reality.
Your head’s still spinning when it could be off the ground And all we know is all we’ll see
Despite the potential for elevation, the mind is still entangled with mundane concerns, preventing true liberation.
Your head’s still swimming when it could be in the clouds
Your mind remains immersed in thoughts when it could be liberated and elevated like being in the clouds.
