Wishful Sleeping
Wishful Sleeping: A Dreamer's Odyssey Beyond Reality
Lyrics
Would that I could drift above the clouds
Expressing a desire to transcend worldly concerns and experience a higher perspective.
To see all that lies beneath
Yearning to observe everything hidden or obscured from a normal viewpoint.
The vast expanses reaching out to the horizon
Describing the vastness of the world extending to the visible horizon.
The fingers of green and blue
Referring to the Earth's landscape with imagery of fingers in green and blue.
Those grasping hands, outstretched
Symbolizing nature's elements with outstretched hands, possibly indicating beauty and vulnerability.
Spread across so small a frame
Highlighting the contrast of vast nature within a small, delicate frame.
And then, to gaze above
Shifting focus to the sky, contemplating the celestial expanse.
To watch as the swarm of stars
Observing the movement of stars as a collective swarm in limitless space.
Flies across boundless space
Reflecting on the enormity of the universe and the cosmic dance of celestial bodies.
Time stands still
Conveying a sense of timelessness, where time seems to come to a halt.
Eternity becomes a single moment
Transforming eternity into a singular moment, emphasizing the present as all-encompassing.
All that ever was, is, or will be
Acknowledging the entirety of existence, past, present, and future.
Is placed in the palm of my hand
Portraying a metaphorical holding of the universe, with everything within one's grasp.
A flickering flame
Describing existence as a flickering flame, possibly transient and fragile.
The breath of life
Connecting life with the metaphorical breath, suggesting vitality and animation.
The light of countless souls
Referring to the light of numerous souls, each with their unique stories.
Their stories known only to me
Emphasizing the exclusivity of knowing these stories, possibly alluding to a sense of isolation.
And then, to wake
Transitioning from the dreamlike state to waking reality.
To see the blue of the ceiling above my bed
Returning to the mundane, acknowledging the ordinary blue ceiling above the bed.
To know that it was never real
Realizing the contrast between the dream and reality, suggesting a sense of disillusionment.
To feel the chill of early morning
Feeling the coldness of the early morning, possibly representing a harsh awakening.
As the first rays of sun peek through my window
Noting the emergence of sunlight, symbolizing the beginning of a new day.
Would that I could drift above the clouds
Reiterating the desire to transcend earthly confines and gain a higher perspective.
To see all that lies beneath
Echoing the theme of exploring the hidden aspects of the world beneath the clouds.
To sleep, perchance to dream
Expressing a wish to sleep again, possibly to return to the dreamlike state of transcendence.
