Long Dream
石元丈晴 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night streets are jammed with these noise
"Things are so strange, are they real or a dream"
Where am I now, trapped in this city of illusion
Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
Is it angels, is it devils, whispering in my ears
Is it emotions, is it illusions?
I need to be with you
Every day noises are killing these people
Every night noises are waiting for me (but)
"Don't run away, We've got no time left to fear"
"Where are you now, still it's showing me illusions"
Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
You are beating all the visions
"In this long dream, can you find me?"
Want you to, you call my name
"In this hazard, chance of survivial?"
I need to be with you
Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
You are beating all the visions
Is it angels, is it devils, whispering in my ears
Is it emotions, is it illusions?
I need to be with you
The song Long Dream by 石元丈晴 talks about the confusion and disorientation that comes with living in a bustling city. The lyrics describe a world where the streets are crowded and the noise never stops. The singer struggles to distinguish reality from illusion and longs for someone to help them navigate this confusing world. The lyrics suggest that it is easy to get lost in the chaos of the city, and that sometimes it feels like the world is pulling you in too many different directions.
The repeated refrain "feel the people, hear the voices" underscores the song's theme of feeling lost in a world full of noise. The singer is searching for meaning in the chaos, trying to find a way to connect with others despite the overwhelming sensory bombardment. The mention of angels and devils whispering in the ears suggests that the struggle to make sense of the world is not just external, but also internal - the singer is grappling with their own emotions and doubts. Ultimately, the song is a plea for connection and meaning in a world that often feels chaotic and directionless.
