On The Edge Of Dreaming
Journey Beyond Reality: Exploring the Depths of Dreams with White House Down
Lyrics
And I'm on the edge of dreaming
Contemplating the threshold of a dream
As light creeps through the leaves
Describing the entrance of light through foliage
Past a portrait of you and me
Reflecting on a shared past depicted in a portrait
Catching dust of a different air
Noticing particles of a different atmosphere
One that's waiting for a change
Awaiting change in a distinct air
And holds us while the world goes by
Feeling embraced while the world continues
As I fall in love with your cheeks
Falling in love with someone's comforting features
So safe and so serene
Perceiving safety and serenity
I'm weighing up the odds
Considering and evaluating the probabilities
I push against my way
Resisting the established path
A life of two lives
Contemplating a shared existence
Is this really what it feels like to let go
Questioning the sensation of letting go
Of moral weight?
Questioning the release from moral burdens
So here I stand on broken feet
Standing resilient despite challenges
Just making my ends meet
Struggling to make ends meet
For the dreams of a time
Aspiring for a specific time in dreams
For the dreams of a place
Aspiring for a particular place in dreams
That are yet to exist
Anticipating a future that is yet to materialize
But have taken up the space
Recognizing the preoccupation of unfulfilled dreams
So here I am from prison to palace
Transitioning from confinement to grandeur
Like Joseph laid to waste
Drawing parallels to the biblical story of Joseph
I don't need a God; just belief
Seeking belief rather than a deity
That the weight will be lifted
Yearning for relief from burdens
And make a change out of me
Expecting transformation through relief
But can't you understand
Expressing a challenge in understanding
What it means to make a man?
Pondering the essence of becoming a man
They won't move around it
Highlighting obstacles that resist change
And you just can't understand it
Expressing frustration in comprehension
So I know
Acknowledging the persistence of a situation
That on the edge of dreaming's where I'll stay
Choosing to remain in the realm of dreams
And I keep rubbing my eyes
Rubbing eyes metaphorically, possibly in disbelief
Pinching harder on my side
Physical and emotional discomfort as dreams fade
As the feeling drifts away
Sensing the departure of a particular feeling
From inertia to pain
Transitioning from inertia to pain
To remind myself
Self-reminder of the inability to change direction
I can't change the way I'm going
Comparing one's situation to a diminishing flame
Just like a dying flame
Accepting the inevitability of a fading situation
So I'm weighing up the odds
Reassessing probabilities and resisting the established path
And I push against my way
Continuing to resist the current course
They can't move around it
Emphasizing the immovability of obstacles
I can't bear to understand it
Expressing difficulty in comprehending the situation
So I know
Reiterating the choice to stay on the edge of dreaming
That on the edge of dreaming's where I'll stay
Reaffirming the decision to remain in the realm of dreams
