Castles
Falling in Love's Illusion: Rob Jones & The Restless Dream's Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Well I've got a secret
The speaker possesses a hidden truth or undisclosed information.
Some wicked words I'll whisper to the king
The speaker plans to share some provocative words with a figure of authority or importance.
I'll be discreet but I've never known him hear a single thing
The speaker will be cautious in sharing this secret, as the authority figure seems oblivious to such information.
In the cafes we can sit and play with pictures of ourselves
Suggests a casual setting where individuals manipulate images of themselves, possibly metaphorical for playing with perceptions.
It's the best way to slowly turn this heaven into hell
Using deception or self-deception to gradually transform a positive situation into a negative one.
And if you close your eyes
A suggestion to ignore reality and focus on one's own experiences or narrative.
You can listen to my life as it walks on by
Encouraging introspection, reflecting on personal experiences as life progresses.
As I'm falling in and falling out of love again
The speaker experiences the cyclical nature of love—falling in and out of it.
Building castles up to tear them down again
Engaging in a repetitive pattern of building and dismantling emotional defenses (castles).
Sacrificing myself to the town
Sacrificing personal well-being for the sake of societal expectations or norms.
Sending in the clowns
Referring to a situation involving absurdity or a performance for others.
To the lost and found
Connecting with those who are lost and seeking, possibly through performances or shared experiences.
What more did anyone expect?
A reflection on societal expectations and the inevitability of disappointment.
This endless daylight is the only thing that pulls me out of bed
The speaker finds motivation in the continuous daylight, possibly indicating an optimistic perspective.
It's a snakebite; it turns my golden visions into lead
A metaphorical transformation of positive visions into burdensome or negative experiences.
To an uproar, I'll strut and fret my hour upon the stage
The speaker embraces chaos or excitement during their allotted time in the spotlight.
To an encore, I'll abandon all I've gathered to the waves
After receiving applause, the speaker is willing to let go of accumulated achievements.
It's a brave new world
Reference to a potentially challenging or uncertain future.
Hold it in your hands; don't say a word
Encouraging silence about the challenges of the brave new world.
Because I'm falling in and falling out of love again
Reiterating the cyclical nature of love, with its highs and lows.
I'm building castles up to tear them down again
Continuing the pattern of building and destroying emotional defenses.
I'm digging myself deeper underground
Escaping deeper into isolation or personal struggles.
To stand another round
Preparing to endure another cycle of challenges and difficulties.
For the lost and found
Reconnecting with those who are lost and searching for meaning.
What more did anyone expect?
Reflecting on the inevitability of disappointment in the face of societal expectations.
And if you see her tell the sun
A message to communicate the challenges faced by someone important or symbolic.
That she's staring down the barrel of a gun
A dramatic portrayal of a difficult situation or confrontation.
We're just rabbits on the run
