Lyrics
Looking out my window staring
Contemplating the outside world through my window
At the things that I can't see
Observing things that are not immediately visible
If I listen closely
Listening intently
I can hear, I can hear
Perceiving a sound, possibly representing a fading aspiration
I can hear a dying dream
Immersed in the warmth of a harsh and unyielding mentality
I'm wrapped up in the warmth
Experiencing comfort in an unforgiving state of mind
Of an unforgiving mind
Currently on a mental vacation in a different era
I'm on vacation in another time
Attributing societal issues to the influence of television and past generations
And we can thank the TV
Expressing gratitude to the medium of television
We can thank the men of old for this Legacy of hate
Acknowledging a legacy of hatred passed down from previous generations
Somehow, somehow they have sold
Highlighting the successful transmission of this negative legacy
I'm wrapped up in the warmth
Wrapped in the emotional warmth of a challenging situation
Of an unforgiving game
Engaged in a challenging and unforgiving game
I'm on vacation in the land of shame
Currently on a mental vacation in a place of shame
When the pigs are flying
Using metaphorical imagery - pigs flying and hell freezing over
And it's freezing cold in hell
Suggesting highly unlikely or impossible circumstances
Maybe we'll forgive the children, baby
Possibly expressing hope for forgiveness towards future generations
Only time will tell
Recognizing that only time will reveal the outcome
Yeah yeah
Repetition of "Yeah yeah" for emphasis or emotional expression
If I listen closely
Reiterating the act of listening closely
I can hear, I can hear
Repeating the perception of a dying dream through attentive listening
I can hear a dying dream
Continuing the mental vacation in the land of shame
I'm on vacation in the land of shame
Reaffirming the immersion in a place associated with shame
We'll be alone together
Anticipating being together in isolation
In a world we call our own
Envisioning a unique world for shared solitude
We'll be alone together
Emphasizing the togetherness in a place that lacks a feeling of home
In a place that doesn't feel like home
Repeating the concept of being alone together in an unfamiliar place
Yeah yeah
Reiteration of emotional expression, "Yeah yeah"
I can hear, I can hear
Reaffirming the ability to hear a fading dream
I can hear a dying dream
Reiterating the perception of a dying dream
Dying dream
Emphasizing the concept of a dream in the process of fading away
Dying dream
Repetition of "Dying dream" for emphasis
Dying dream
Continued emphasis on the concept of a dying dream
We'll be alone together
Repeating the anticipation of being alone together
In a world we call our own
Reaffirming the vision of a shared world
We'll be alone together
Reiterating the togetherness in a place devoid of a sense of home
In a place that doesn't feel like home
Restating the theme of being alone together in an unfamiliar place
We'll be alone together
Repeating the anticipation of being alone together
In a world we call our own
Reiterating the vision of a shared world
In a place that doesn't feel like home
Emphasizing the togetherness in a place lacking the feeling of home
We'll be alone together
Reiterating the anticipation of being alone together
We'll leave this land of shame
Expressing the desire to leave the land of shame
