Heidelberg
Dreaming of Heidelberg: Challenging Ideals & Finding Solace
Lyrics
Well I got your breath,
Expressing possession of someone's essence or influence.
But I do not breathe your politics
Rejecting association with the political beliefs of the other person.
While you'd sing
Not specified; context needed for interpretation.
With eyes so close together
Observing someone with closely set eyes, possibly implying narrow-mindedness.
We focus in different directions,
Highlighting different perspectives or priorities.
Hey we look the same
Noticing physical resemblance but emphasizing distinct viewpoints.
But not the same way,
Reiterating the similarity in appearance but emphasizing divergent perspectives.
Same way at all.
Emphasizing the dissimilarity in thinking.
With summer painted 'cross the sky,
Describing a picturesque summer sky.
I see this child do laps around his sheltered life
Observing a child enjoying a carefree life.
(Hey...Such lofted dreams fill his head my little one...)
Reflecting on lofty dreams of the child, emphasizing innocence.
He thinks he talks with God
Describing the child's belief in communication with a divine entity.
He thinks he reads the future
Highlighting the child's optimism about predicting the future.
(Hey...Between the red brick and the back fence my little one...)
Not specified; context needed for interpretation.
While father swore that we must hold the shore
Recalling a father's commitment to defending against worldly evils.
Against the evils in this world,
Acknowledging the challenges of the world.
If I must watch this sunset
Expressing a commitment to dream of Heidelberg while facing difficulties.
I vow I will dream of Heidelberg.
Mentioning a lost paradise, possibly referring to innocence or perfection.
We fell from Eden.
Referring to a loss of wealth or values.
We lost our money.
Describing a symbolic meeting of opposing forces during a festive occasion.
Red flag meets red wine across the Christmas dinner,
Connecting personal dreams to a strong, shore-bound wind.
I dream inside this shore bound gale that
Imagining a personal struggle reminiscent of a battlefield.
Takes me to the battlefield,
Committing to face personal challenges.
Where I'll face my own.
Reiterating the father's advice on facing the world's challenges.
And father swore that we must hold the shore
Emphasizing the commitment to dream of Heidelberg despite challenges.
Against the evils in this world,
Reiterating the theme of defending against the world's evils.
If I must watch this sunset
Expressing a commitment to maintain optimism while facing challenges.
I vow I will dream of Heidelberg.
Committing to dreaming of Heidelberg despite witnessing hardships.
Hey...My little one (etc.)
Repeating the theme of addressing the child and emphasizing care.
