Dream
Navigating the Seas of Dreams: Unraveling the Depths of West Indian Girl's 'Dream'
Lyrics
I'm on a dock overlooking my mind
I am in a contemplative state, reflecting on my thoughts.
I hitch my boat and I drift off
I secure my boat and let myself drift away, perhaps into a mental escape.
Where fools whisper lies
In this mental space, deceptive whispers of foolishness persist.
Everything's a sign when dreams come alive
In the realm of dreams, everything takes on significance and becomes a sign.
I'm not crazy at all, my friends they talk
Despite appearances, I assert my sanity, but conversations around me are distracting.
I try to listen, but waves keep crashing
Efforts to listen are disrupted by the persistent crashing of metaphorical waves.
Against my mind to pull me where
The force of these mental waves tries to pull me away to a different perception of time.
The years are days and all those days are years I've lost
Time is distorted, with years feeling like days, and lost experiences weigh heavily.
They've finally come to tell me
A realization dawns, acknowledging my existence in this dreamlike state.
I'm alive in a boat to catch myself inside a dream
I navigate the dream on a boat, attempting to grasp the essence of my own existence.
Everything's a sign when dreams come alive
Reiterating that in the dream world, everything serves as a meaningful sign.
Everything's a sign but still
Despite the signs, a questioning tone arises, pondering the nature of love.
You're asking why love is across
Love is depicted as being across a frozen lake, a challenge that breaks when approached.
The frozen lake that always seems to break when you walk to the other side
A metaphorical obstacle appears when trying to reach the other side of the frozen lake.
You are here now
A declaration that the listener is present in this shared mental space.
We're not crazy at all
Asserting collective sanity, emphasizing that none are crazy.
You are free now
An assurance of freedom in this dreamlike state.
We're not crazy at all
Reaffirming the sanity of all participants in this shared mental experience.
You are safe now
An additional layer of reassurance, emphasizing safety within this mental journey.
We're not crazy at all
Final affirmation that, despite the surreal experience, sanity prevails.
You are
A concluding statement, possibly truncated, leaving room for interpretation.
