Popcorn Dreams
Bang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Slipping thru madness, falling thru time
Looking for light, it's so hard to find
Visions astound me, illusions a tease
Portals come quickly now, adrift on a breeze
Like well worn shoes that fit so well
Friends never die
We're in we're out in between
Waving good-bye
Popcorn Dreams
A pale looking face, invading my space
Granting his curses, giving them place
Nobody speaks names that I know
It's not what it seems
We're in we're out, in between
Waving good-bye to Popcorn Dreams
Popcorn Dreams
Another day of Popcorn Dreams
Waving good-bye
Another night of buttered screams




Smearing the sky
Popcorn Dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bang's song Popcorn Dreams are cryptic and complex, suggesting an inner turmoil of the singer. The first two lines imply that the singer is trying to make sense of a chaotic world and is searching for something to cling onto. The mention of "illusions" and "portals" suggests a sense of confusion or disorientation. The next two lines introduce a theme of mortality, as the singer compares life to "well worn shoes" that never die, and then proceeds to bid farewell to a friend. The repeated refrain of "Popcorn Dreams" adds an element of whimsy to the song, almost as if the singer is attempting to make light of a difficult situation.
