prologue
Anna Francolini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don't have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now I don't say who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you
We all dream a lot, some are lucky, some are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it's real
You are what you feel
But all that I say can be told another way
In the story of a boy whose dream came true
And he could be you
The lyrics of Anna Francolini's song, Prologue, delve into the concept of dreaming and manifesting one's desires. The song begins by stating that some individuals have grand ambitions for their lives before their time on earth is up, while others lack direction and purpose, choosing to conceal their aspirations. The singer does not judge whether this is right or wrong, but she acknowledges that if one is present to hear her story, she only requires an hour or two to narrate the chronicles of a dreamer similar to them.
The lyrics convey the notion that dreams are essential to life and that individuals should not shy away from them. The second stanza declares that everyone dreams to some extent, but not everyone has their dreams come to fruition. However, if one thinks, wishes, and visualizes their dream, it will become a tangible reality. The last line of the second stanza reinforces the idea that individuals are defined by what they feel.
The song's final lines offer the listener the story of a boy whose dream came true and how they could be that boy. Prologue embodies the concept that dreams hold the power to manifest desires, and one should not be afraid to pursue their aspirations. The lyrics are motivational and encourage individuals to take a chance on their dreams, as they hold the potential to turn into reality.
