Dream at Tempo 119
Journey Through Shadows: Unveiling the Enigmatic Tale of 'Dream at Tempo 119'
Lyrics
I took my seat and stared
I settled into my place and gazed.
At the cardboard screen while no one cared
At the projected image made of cardboard, disregarded by everyone.
While the lights stayed on
Despite the ongoing illumination.
The familiar buzz was now long gone
The usual hum of energy had vanished by then.
I just waited there
I simply lingered, anticipating.
As the music soared into the air
As the music escalated and filled the atmosphere.
As the lights went down
While the lights dimmed.
She said don't open your eyes
Someone advised not to perceive.
At tempo 119
At a specific pace or rhythm, marked as 119.
They took to the crowd and aimed towards me
They directed their attention to the audience, focusing on me.
As the circle closed
As the enclosing group tightened.
I held onto the one with splintered clothes
I clung to the one in tattered garments.
Twenty years before
Referencing an event from two decades past.
She said don't open your eyes and you can swim
A suggestion to survive by not observing and letting oneself flow.
All my friends ignored
My companions disregarded the advice.
She said don't open your eyes
Reiteration not to open one's eyes.
Don't open your eyes
An urging to keep one's eyes shut.
And said goodnight
Bidding farewell without visual contact.
Don't open your eyes
Repeated advice to avoid looking.
And said goodnight
Saying goodbye again without opening one's eyes.
I couldn't end it there
I couldn't conclude matters there.
As her wooden bones grew through her skin
As her figurative wooden structure emerged from beneath her skin.
Crumbled naturally
Collapsed naturally.
As her limbs and leaves had broken free
Her body and foliage had broken away.
Twenty years before
Referring to an event from twenty years ago.
She said don't open your eyes and you can swim
Similar counsel to survive without seeing.
Wanted nothing more
Desire for nothing beyond.
She said don't open your eyes
Reiteration of advice not to open one's eyes.
Don't open your eyes
Admonition to keep eyes shut.
And said goodnight
Saying goodnight without opening eyes.
Don't open your eyes
Repeating the advice of not looking.
And said goodnight
Bidding goodnight again without visually engaging.
