In My Dreams
Navigating the Depths of Self-Doubt: In My Dreams Unveiled
Lyrics
Keep it up
Encouraging oneself to persist or maintain a certain behavior
I might just doubt myself enough to stop
Expressing a potential self-doubt that could lead to giving up
To try to swim the rivers to the top
Attempting to overcome challenges, using the metaphor of swimming rivers
When I'm still in the ocean caught in rips
Feeling stuck or lost in a difficult situation (ocean with rips)
And nothing sticks
Experiencing a lack of success or permanence in endeavors
On the fence
Being indecisive or neutral in a situation
Balanced like the words and how they're read
Balancing perspectives, considering the interpretation of words
To seek the rope but only need the thread
Searching for a solution (rope) but realizing only a small effort (thread) is needed
The sky will all come falling like you said
Anticipating a crisis or downfall, possibly based on prior warnings
Silly me
Acknowledging a sense of foolishness or inadequacy
To think I could excite sufficiently
Realizing the inability to generate enough excitement or interest
The keepers seem to have lost the only key
Suggesting a loss of control or access to something valuable
And the gate's been frozen twenty years or so
Describing a barrier (gate) that has been unyielding for a long time
But if they don't say it how're we supposed to know?
Questioning the lack of communication or guidance from authority figures
It's just a guessing game, a fix without a fix
Referring to life as a guessing game, with problems that worsen with each mistake
And a hole that only deepens with each miss
Highlighting the deepening of difficulties with each misstep
And a version of yourself that you can't see
Describing an obscured or hidden version of oneself
And if you could you'd probably curse it bitterly
Suggesting potential resentment towards one's hidden self
But these are not the words you want to hear
Expressing dissatisfaction with the messages or information received
And this ain't how they sing and find your ear
Contrasting the current situation with traditional or expected communication
And this ain't how I look or what I did
Rejecting a perceived false image of oneself or one's actions
The signs were always there since I was a kid
Noticing early signs or indications of certain traits since childhood
And I'm better off in silence so it seems
Choosing silence as a preferable state, possibly for self-preservation
I can save myself and me for in my dreams
Indicating a refuge in dreams as a source of self-preservation and escape
And be judged by the meaning of my means
Desiring to be judged based on intentions and actions rather than appearances
And keep myself afloat in other scenes
Maintaining a positive self-image in alternative or imaginative scenarios
Like the ones I see in my dreams
Emphasizing the significance of personal dreams and aspirations
And they're my dreams
Reiterating ownership and importance of individual dreams
