I Dreamt I Was a Drummer
Harmonizing with the Unseen: A Drummer's Dream
Lyrics
I dreamt that I was a drummer
I had a dream where I was a drummer.
Jamming with Jason Molina
I was playing music with Jason Molina.
Sounded like nothing I've ever heard before
The music sounded unique and unlike anything I've heard before.
Like heaven on a bad day
It felt exceptionally good, like a heavenly experience even on a bad day.
Met with one better day in hell
I experienced something even better than a good day in a challenging situation.
Made me feel neither sick
The experience didn't make me feel sick or well; it was neutral.
Nor well
No specific emotional response was evoked.
There was no fear
There was an absence of fear during the dream.
There was no joy
Similarly, there was no feeling of joy.
Nothing but his voice filling the room
Jason Molina's voice was the only significant presence, filling the room.
Like some kind of white light
His voice had a powerful and pure quality, like a white light.
And me and my drumkit
The narrator and their drumkit were present in the dream.
Up under the ceiling
They were positioned beneath the ceiling.
On a magic carpet
They were on a magic carpet, suggesting a surreal and dreamlike experience.
Wireless
The drumkit was wireless, emphasizing a sense of freedom.
Without face
There was no specific identity or face associated with the experience.
Slowly waving from side to side
The drumming motion was described as slowly waving from side to side.
I dreamt that I was a drummer
Repetition of the dream of being a drummer with Jason Molina.
Jamming with Jason Molina
Continuation of the dream, emphasizing the musical collaboration.
The proudest of moments
The dream represents a moment of pride and significance.
And sad
The dream also carries a sense of sadness.
