Chasing Dreams: Ross Learmonth's Believer Unveiled
Lyrics
Going east down west street
Heading in a direction opposite to its name; metaphor for a conflicting or paradoxical situation.
Longest road in town
Describing a lengthy road in the town, possibly symbolic of a challenging journey or path.
Gets so hard keeping up
Struggling to keep pace or match up; feeling the difficulty of keeping up.
Don’t leave me behind
Request not to be abandoned or left behind.
I’m chasing the last train out
Actively pursuing something (possibly a goal or opportunity) despite it being close to unreachable.
You ask me a question
Asking about the authenticity or sincerity of something.
Are those diamonds
Questioning if the person's eyes reflect something precious or valuable.
In your eyes
Describing the physical toll (hard hands) from extensive efforts (metaphorically digging up plans).
I got Hard hands from digging up plans
Struggling to break free or find a way out repeatedly, particularly at night.
To make my escape, oh every night
Expressing persistence in maintaining a dream-like state despite challenges.
Oh every night
A repetition emphasizing the persistence of the dreamer's belief and determination.
Baby I’m still a dreamer
Reiterating a commitment to pursuing dreams despite obstacles.
Baby I’ll always believe ya
-And I do it all again
-We climb these towers
Striving for the highest point despite the challenges.
Highest place around
Encouragement not to lose hope or succumb to fear.
So hold on to me now
A plea to hold on together and not give in to despair or negative thoughts.
And don’t you look down
An expression of the need for answers or clarity about the sincerity of something.
Baby we’ll make it out
-Oh, I need some answers
Reiteration of the physical toll from continuous efforts to escape.
Are those diamonds in your eyes?
A repetition of the question about the authenticity reflected in the eyes.
I got hard hands from digging up plans
A persistent struggle to break free or find a way out, particularly emphasized during the night.
to make my escape oh every night
-Oh every night
Continued expression of persistence despite difficulties.
Baby I’m still a dreamer
Repeated commitment to believing and pursuing dreams despite challenges.
Baby I’ll always believe ya
-And I do it all again
-You always tried to talk me down
Someone attempting to discourage or undermine but failing to prevent the pursuit.
But now I’m on the last train out
The protagonist is now committed to departing despite the opposition.
Believer
Identifying as a believer, persisting despite challenges.
I do it all again
A firm commitment to persist in the face of adversity.
Oh every night

A reaffirmation of the determination to keep pursuing dreams.
I do it all again
An absolute determination to repeat the process of striving despite resistance.
Do it all again

But now I’m on the last train out
Despite prior attempts to dissuade, the commitment remains firm.
