Ghibli Rain
Dreams Beyond Gravity: Ross Wylde's Ghibli Rain Symphony
Lyrics
I remember Halloween
I recall memories of Halloween
Static in the air
Sensations of electricity in the atmosphere
Adventures in the dusty grounds of the fair
Recollections of adventures in the dusty fairgrounds
But now I'm out of dreams
Current state of being without dreams
And someone needs to catch me where I fall
A plea for someone to support and catch the speaker in times of need
If you were there
If the listener were present
I'd bite time I couldn't chew
Attempting challenges beyond one's capacity
Eleven more seasons for the sake of you
A commitment to endure hardships for the sake of a relationship
But you seem unaware
Perceived lack of awareness in the listener
Everything I ask is a curveball
Requests and inquiries met with unexpected difficulties
Loving is easy to do when you're down
Love is easier to express during difficult times
Gravity pulls my ears to the ground
The weight of challenges pulling the speaker down
Hearing every beat
Awareness and attention to every heartbeat
But luckily my dreams are out of this world
Dreams exceeding the ordinary or mundane
Everywhere I see a smudge
Observation of imperfections or distortions in the surroundings
Savages and thieves
Reference to people with primitive or unethical behaviors
The ghosts of Christian revisionist scenes
Reflection on distorted historical scenes
If heaven has a judge
Contemplation of judgment in the afterlife
Then hell would be the great escape from this drought
Suggesting that hell might be a relief from current difficulties
It's almost wintertime
Approaching winter season
There's fire in the well
Imagery of fire in a well
Death is on the vine
Symbolism of death in the midst of life
But no one can tell
Uncertainty and lack of awareness regarding impending challenges
We like to bide time
Preferring to wait for a resolution
'Till the heat burns a crush in the crowd
Delaying action until pressure becomes overwhelming
Screaming my call one last time
Expressing a desperate call for attention
Feeling the wool coming over my eyes
Feeling deceived or blinded
I never thought I'd need
Unanticipated need for a friend to safeguard mental well-being
A friend to insure the light in my mind
Reflection on animation and its influence on emotions
Animation frames
Visual metaphor of animation frames dripping from a pill
Drip from the pill
Desire for rain reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films
I wish it rained like a Ghibli film
Receiving ash instead of the desired rain
Instead, I get ash
An acknowledgment of circumstances
To there we go
Acceptance of habitual actions
We're good at doing that
Limited scope of experience
But it's all we'll ever know
Resignation to a repetitive existence
So I'll take another sip
Seeking temporary solace through substances
And slip into the dream of a cold Halloween
Escaping into a dream of a cold Halloween
And I'll let you in if you show me yours
Willingness to open up if reciprocated
I got a thin, cool drop of a storm
Experiencing a small, refreshing part of a storm
Nothing left of me
A sense of personal loss or deterioration
But luckily my dreams are out of this world
Reiteration of dreams transcending current difficulties
