Dragonfly
М. Craft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the universe revolves around the pupil of an eye
And infinities stretch out from infinities within
And I'm a part of everything, I'm a part of everything
Am I falling asleep? Is it all just a dream?
Well, the cars are like water and the road is like a stream
Rolling down through the city, flowing out into the sea
When the morning starts to glow out in the corners of the sky
All the people come and go, and the time just passes by
Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye
When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly
I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
The opening lines of М. Craft's "Dragonfly" is a beautiful representation of the universe as we know it. The "perfect sky" is a symbol of a clean slate, an untouched world where everything is possible. The universe is said to revolve around "the pupil of an eye," indicating that everything we see is seen through our own eyes. Furthermore, the line "infinities stretch out from infinities within" talks about the vastness of the universe, and the fact that what we think is significant is just a small part of something much grandeur.
The following lyrics of the song consist mainly of musings. The singer wonders if the world he sees around him is real or if it is something that he is dreaming about. The analogy of cars being like water and the road like a stream talk about how everything flows effortlessly, and how the world around him is full of movement. While he is a part of this world, he feels like he is going nowhere. The lyrics seem to deal with issues of purpose and direction.
The final verse is probably one of the most symbolic parts of the song. The morning glow is indicative of the start of new beginnings, and people come and go as time passes by. The lines "When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly" talk about the beauty of the world around us, and how everything seems to be in perfect harmony.

When the morning starts to glow out in the corners of the sky
As the morning sun rises and appears in the corners of the sky
All the people come and go, and the time just passes by
People move through life and time passes by without stopping
Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye
I may only catch glimpses of it without being able to fully experience it
When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly
The rotation of the planet creates a sound that is similar to the humming of a dragonfly's wings
I can see it all tonight
I am fully present and aware of everything around me at this moment
I can see it all tonight
I am still fully present and aware of everything around me at this moment
I can see it all tonight
I want to hold on to this moment of clarity and understanding as long as I can
I can see it all tonight
I am grateful for this moment of clarity and understanding
