Dream Came Down
Finding Hope in a Mean Old Town: The Push Stars' Dream Came Down
Lyrics
Nobody gets what they want anymore
Nobody achieves their desires anymore.
You can barely get what you need
Attaining what you truly need is a challenge.
But all I need seems like it's you
The speaker finds that all they need is represented by the person they're addressing.
No one's satisfied anymore
No one is content or happy anymore.
They're knocking on all the wrong doors
People are seeking fulfillment in the wrong places.
The only door I'll stand at is yours
The only meaningful pursuit for the speaker is the one involving the person they care about.
Since the dream came down
The dream, possibly a positive change or realization, has had an impact.
On this mean old town
The impact is felt in a challenging and unfriendly environment.
Who thought hope would show her face down here.
Expressing surprise at the appearance of hope in a difficult situation.
Nobody's in the right mood anymore
People are generally not in a positive emotional state anymore.
Everyone's thinking too much
Overthinking is prevalent among everyone.
My great escape is in your touch
The speaker finds solace and escape in the physical connection with the person they love.
Nobody seems to be laughing out loud
No one seems to express joy openly.
Is everyone too cool to smile
People might be too reserved or cool to show happiness.
All this heaviness is not your style
The heaviness or burden that others carry is not part of the person the speaker loves.
Since the dream came down
Reiteration of the impact of the dream on the challenging environment.
On this mean old town
The town is harsh, but luck seems to favor the speaker after the dream.
Who thought luck would lay its hands on me?
Expressing surprise at the unexpected luck in a difficult situation.
I never wanted to fall so far
The speaker never intended to fall into such a challenging situation.
I never needed you 'til life got hard
The person addressed becomes crucial only in difficult times.
Everyone's on the phone all the time
Commentary on the prevalence of constant phone use.
Nobody talks face to face
Lack of face-to-face communication is observed in society.
But I'm happiest sharing your space
The speaker finds happiness in the physical presence of the person they care about.
You were supposed to be here ten minutes ago
Highlighting a delayed arrival and impatience.
You show up and say "sorry I'm late"
The apology for lateness is accepted due to the person's value.
You don't even know how much you're worth the wait
The person is considered worth the wait, implying their importance.
Since the dream came down
Reiteration of the positive impact of the dream in a challenging environment.
On this mean old town
Expression of luck in an unfriendly town.
Who thought hope would show her face down here.
Surprise at the appearance of hope in a difficult situation, echoing earlier lines.
Since the dream came down
Repetition of the impact of the dream on the harsh environment.
On this mean old town
Reiteration of the unexpected luck in a challenging town.
Who thought luck would lay its hands on me?
Surprise at the unexpected stroke of luck in a difficult situation.
