Windmills
Beauty's Confusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That dream my nights to day
Shadow hands that trace in circles
Feeling with no resolution
Always half a turn away
From being right here, right now
Keep spinning
And I'll stay
Spinning and spinning
Impossible
I will only dream of you
Impossible
I will only dream of you
Missing i keep missing
I keep sleeping
I keep hating
I keep waiting
I keep needing
Without cause or reason
To be justified
Something changes
Every time I turn to you
I turn away
I turn inside
I turn into
An empty page
Just waiting
For the words
Waiting
For the worst
Spinning and spinning
Impossible
I will only dream of you
Impossible
I will only dream of you
Impossible
I will only dream of you
Impossible
I will only dream of you
I will only dream of you
I will only dream of you
Spinning and spinning
I will only dream of you
Spinning and spinning
I will only dream of you
The lyrics of Beauty's Confusion's Windmills describe a sense of confusion and disorientation, as well as a yearning for something that is just out of reach. The opening lines, "Another time, forgetting memories / That dream my nights to day" suggest a disconnect between the present moment and the memories of the past that continue to haunt and influence the singer. This is reinforced by the image of "shadow hands that trace in circles," suggesting a cyclical and repetitive nature to these memories.
The chorus of "Impossible / I will only dream of you" speaks to a sense of unattainability or impossibility - the singer can only dream of what they desire, but cannot seem to reach it. This is further emphasized by the repeated refrain of "spinning and spinning," suggesting a sense of being stuck on a perpetual cycle or merry-go-round.
The second verse offers a glimpse into the internal struggle of the singer, as they express conflicting emotions of missing, sleeping, hating, waiting, and needing. Despite this, they cannot find a justification for these feelings, and feel lost and empty as a result. The final lines of "waiting for the words / waiting for the worst" suggest a sense of anticipation and apprehension - the singer is waiting for something to happen, but it is unclear whether it will be good or bad.
