Pipe Dream
Chasing Life's Meaning in a Pipe Dream
Lyrics
I'm all alone
I feel isolated and alone.
The show's over
An event or period has ended, possibly symbolizing a change or loss.
Night crawlers crawling closer
Nighttime creatures are approaching, suggesting a sense of unease or danger.
Somewhere is temptation
There is a tempting situation or opportunity present.
Could it just be my imagination
Questioning if the temptation is real or just a product of imagination.
Was it all just a dream at the bottom of a glass
Reflecting on a past experience, possibly involving alcohol ("bottom of a glass").
Next time don't wake me up
Desire to remain in a dream-like state, avoiding reality.
All this too must pass
A realization that everything, including difficult times, will eventually pass.
Call me up when you find out what life means
Request to be contacted when the true meaning of life is discovered.
Does it hide in the fire of a smoke screen
Wondering if life's meaning is obscured by deceptive appearances ("smoke screen").
Like a match burning fast in the cold breeze
Comparing life to a quickly burning match in a harsh environment.
Like a house made of glass in a pipe dream
Describing life as fragile and illusory, like a house made of glass in a pipe dream.
Even so it gets harder
Despite difficulties, life becomes more challenging.
Can't finish what you can't get started
Unable to complete tasks or goals, leading to frustration.
Everywhere seems so brown signs of life are happening anyhow
Observing a lack of vitality in the surroundings but acknowledging life's persistence.
Should I just disappear behind a one way glass remain
Considering disappearing or withdrawing from the world ("one way glass").
Invisible all this too must pass
Feeling invisible, recognizing that challenging times will pass.
So, call me up when you find out what life means
Reiteration of the request to be contacted when the meaning of life is understood.
Does it hide in the fire of a smoke screen
Questioning if life's meaning is hidden behind deceptive appearances ("smoke screen").
Like a match burning fast in the cold breeze
Repeating the metaphor of life as a quickly burning match in a challenging environment.
Like a house made of glass in a pipe dream
Reiterating the fragility and illusion of life, like a house made of glass in a pipe dream.
Late at night when I can't sleep
Experiencing restlessness and insomnia late at night.
Listen down to the sound on the street
Paying attention to the sounds of the street during the quiet hours.
Then the dawn, the dawn comes chasing
The arrival of dawn serves as a reminder of time passing.
To remind me of the time I'm wasting
Feeling a sense of urgency or pressure due to the awareness of time slipping away.
So, call me up when you find out what life means
Reiteration of the request to be contacted when the meaning of life is understood.
Does it hide in the fire of a smoke screen
Revisiting the idea of life's meaning being obscured by deceptive appearances ("smoke screen").
Like a match burning fast in the cold breeze
Repeating the metaphor of life as a quickly burning match in a challenging environment.
Like a house made of glass in a pipe dream
Reiterating the fragility and illusion of life, like a house made of glass in a pipe dream.
Like a match burning fast in the cold breeze
Repeating the metaphor of life as a quickly burning match in a challenging environment.
Like a house made of glass in a pipe dream
Reiterating the fragility and illusion of life, like a house made of glass in a pipe dream.
