King and Queen
Dreamy Reverie of Love: A Journey with The Moody Blues
Lyrics
It's like awaking from a dream
Waking up from a dream, experiencing a shift in perception.
All I remember is a lullaby
Memory of a lullaby, suggesting a peaceful or comforting past.
I couldn't tell you where I've been
Uncertainty about one's recent experiences and whereabouts.
A thousand images just flutter by
A flood of diverse images passing through the mind.
Takin' my time
Being deliberate and unhurried.
In a white limousine
In a luxurious white limousine, possibly symbolizing opulence.
If I was the King
Expressing a desire for royalty or leadership.
She'd be my Queen
Desiring a specific person to share the throne as a queen.
And my thoughts are growing louder
Increasingly intense and persistent thoughts.
And my mind has lost its way
Feeling mentally disoriented or lost.
And the flames are getting higher ev'ryday
A metaphor for challenges or struggles escalating.
My mind is back behind my eyes
Returning to self-awareness, seeing a butterfly.
And there before me sits a butterfly
The butterfly as a symbol of transformation and fragility.
And as I watch, she gently cries (And as I watch, she gently cries)
Observing the butterfly crying, suggesting vulnerability.
Can there be anyone who'll pity her? (Who'll pity her?)
Questioning if anyone will show empathy or compassion.
How many faces
Reflecting on the different personas or roles people adopt.
Have all of you been?
Asking about the variety of experiences others have had.
If I was the King
Reiterating the desire for kingship and the associated queen.
She'd be my Queen
Expressing a specific person as the ideal queen.
And my thoughts are getting louder
Thoughts becoming more pronounced and insistent.
And my mind has lost its way
Continued mental disorientation or confusion.
And the flames are getting higher ev'ryday
Heightening challenges or difficulties.
My mind is back behind my eyes
Repetition of the butterfly imagery and observation.
And there before me sits a butterfly
The butterfly as a recurring symbol of vulnerability.
And as I watch, she gently cries (And as I watch, she gently cries)
Continued observation of the butterfly's tears.
Can there be anyone who'll pity her? (Who'll pity her?)
Doubting if there will be anyone compassionate towards the butterfly.
How many faces
Revisiting the theme of the varied faces people present.
Have all of you been?
Asking about the multitude of experiences others have undergone.
If I was the King
Reiterating the desire for kingship and a specific queen.
She'd be my Queen
Affirming the ideal pairing of being a king with a chosen queen.
And my thoughts are getting louder
Continued intensification of thoughts and challenges.
And my mind has lost its way
Persistent mental disorientation or confusion.
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
Escalation of challenges or difficulties on a daily basis.
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
Repetition emphasizing the increasing intensity of challenges.
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
Repetition emphasizing the escalating nature of challenges.
