From an early stage in their career, Bliss N Eso primarily built their fan base from their compelling and energetic live performances. An exhilarating blend of fluid rhymes and banging beats teamed with beat boxing, impromptu freestyling and seamless turntablism make their live shows a brand in their own right, and has seen the group hailed as one of the best live acts in the country. After four years of touring with consistently powerful performances, Bliss N Eso settled down in 2004 to record their first full length album Flowers In The Pavement. A virtual brainstorm on record, the emerging artists compiled track after track of wild expression through vibrant lyrics and production. The debut album met an overwhelming response from audiences and critics Australia wide.
In late 2006, Bliss N Eso's second album, Day of the Dog, was released and became the first Australian hip-hop release to debut in ARIA's top 50. It also earned Bliss N Eso an ARIA nomination for Best Urban Release in 2006 with sales exceeding all benchmarks for a local hip-hop release. In 2007 Bliss N Eso travelled to North America, playing sold out shows in the North-West of the US and Canada including a stand out performance at the Whistler 2007 Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival. Upon their return, the lads embarked on the unforgettable Make Poverty History Zero Seven road trip tour and ventured on an epic journey in June 2007 with MTV and the Oaktree Foundation to some of the poorest regions in South Africa to complete the track and shoot the video clip for their next album's first single, Bullet and a Target. 2008 saw Bliss N Eso take things to a whole new level with the release of their third LP, Flying Colours.
The album, which received near perfect reviews in countless media, broke all kinds of records for an Australian hip-hop act thanks to four monster singles in the form of Bullet and a Target, Woodstock 2008, The Sea is Rising and Eye of the Storm. After a top 10 ARIA debut, the album became the highest selling local hiphop album of the year and with their third nomination in as many years, Bliss N Eso took out the ARIA Award for 2008's Best Urban Release. The official album tour sold out every one of its 24 legs including an unforgettable homecoming show at Sydney's Enmore Theatre in front of 2,500 lucky ticket holders. After ten phenomenal years, these three troublemakers from Sydney's suburbs are officially in unchartered territory – which is exactly where they like to be.

House Of Dreams
Bliss n Eso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every letter is love and every word's an oasis
Tryna' reach new heights like a bird in a spaceship
And you're damn right, we've been working the late shift
Tryna' see how far, on planet earth we can take this
This is poetry in motion, the mystery of why
Every motor is in motion and it's visually divine
On a roll like Timmy, and they're stuck in bad traffic
I feel fucking fantastic, a viking with the rhyme
That lightning in the sky mixed with Tyson in his prime
I tell it how it is and they got nothing to say
I tell the haters I love them, just to fuck with their brain
Duck, I'm insane, my flows like a swordfish
This is 100 percent, straight up uncut raw shit
I can't be bamboozle, that's faker than a dollar sign
Beat me in their dreams and they wake up and apologize
Non-believers, tryna' piss in my boots
Don't they know they'll have to fly just to fit in my shoes
Got the world in my palm and the feet on the dash
So let them bitch, 'n' wish I wasn't the reason they rapped
Shit, I'm tryna' write a song with insight
So look past the mask, there's diamonds on the inside
We're unplugged, and blessing you with magic
Our drifter's in the air but the question's can you catch it
It is love that can set you free
Watching the sun setting on the sea
And you can lift me above the highest mountain peak
And now I see, right from my balcony
Welcome to my house of dreams
Kind of comic how a kid from DC would Marvel at his superheroes
Draining his Walkman battery juice to zero
A teen with a dream, and since the whole start I've
Been like Quentin plotting from the video archives
So I direct my film like Jack Sparrows' compass
Cut sick, shooting like a black barrel gunship.
Just like when the rain and thunder hits the planet
Dreamt once in the clouds now the mother-ship has landed
Goddammit spectacular, lock it up and load
With that flip of the tongue, hit of the drum, rock and fucking roll
I spark an idea ignited from my balls
Add it to the 99 bottles of lightning on my wall
In a boat of hope on an ocean where the shark lives
Spitting fireflies to paint my poems in the darkness
Connectivity is in my stare, shit, electricity is in the air
So throw your islands in the sky if you feel the vibe
Hip Hop is still alive every time we fly
When I find a line like a rope I can use it
To lift me out the sea of disposable music
But you can't touch my soul cause that dog shit smells
I wanna be taken away like a cosmic spell
So no need to show me the money of bomb? hit sales
Cause this song gives me the quan just like Rodd Tidwell and so
{Rod Tidwell movie excerpt} Just let me enjoy this for a minute
And it is love that can set you free
Watching the sun setting on the sea
And if you lift me above the highest mountain peak
And now I see, right from my balcony
Welcome to my house of dreams
And it is love that can set you free
Watching the sun setting on the sea
And if you lift me above the highest mountain peak
And now I see, right from my balcony
Welcome to my house of dreams
Bliss n Eso's "House of Dreams" can be described as a song about the power of love, self-expression, and creativity. The track opens with the idea that words are important, and that language can create an oasis for the soul. The song then moves through a series of verses, each painting a different image of Bliss n Eso's aspirations, struggles, and victories as artists. The second verse sees Bliss n Eso reflecting on their journey, admitting that they used to be like a kid from DC dreaming of Marvel superheroes, playing music on their Walkman until the battery ran out. But now, they've got something even more powerful - their creative vision, a mother-ship-like metaphor for their collective identity.
The idea of creativity as a form of escapism is repeated throughout the song. Bliss n Eso describe their music as a journey into a dreamworld, a balcony from which they can see the whole planet. They talk about the power of dreams to uplift the spirit, to connect with people, and to provide a sense of hope in a world that's often full of darkness. Throughout the song, Bliss n Eso remind us that we are all capable of creating our own dreamworld, if we're willing to put in the work, and to believe in ourselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Every letter is love and every word's an oasis
Love is the foundation of all creations with every word being a source of refreshment
Tryna' reach new heights like a bird in a spaceship
Striving for greatness, exploring new territories like a bird in a spacecraft

Putting in hard work and dedication during the late hours
Tryna' see how far, on planet earth we can take this
Pushing the limits to see how far one can go on the planet Earth
This is poetry in motion, the mystery of why
The art of rap is in motion, with its mystery still unknown
Every motor is in motion and it's visually divine
The rhythm and flow of the music is visually beautiful
On a roll like Timmy, and they're stuck in bad traffic
Making progress like Timmy while others are stuck in traffic
So when I rock it the bottom looks like Buckingham palace.
The impact of the performance is so powerful that it makes the venue look like a grand palace
I feel fucking fantastic, a viking with the rhyme
Feeling great and powerful like a Viking with his weapon
That lightning in the sky mixed with Tyson in his prime
Combining the power of lightning and the greatness of Mike Tyson in his prime
I tell it how it is and they got nothing to say
Expressing the truth without fear and leaving no room for arguments
I tell the haters I love them, just to fuck with their brain
Sarcastically telling people who hate him that he loves them to mess with their heads
Duck, I'm insane, my flows like a swordfish
Warning others to duck because of the insanity of his flow, like a swordfish's attack
This is 100 percent, straight up uncut raw shit
This is genuinely authentic, unfiltered and raw music

He can't be fooled as easily as a dollar bill's forgery
Beat me in their dreams and they wake up and apologize
People dream of beating him but realize it's impossible and apologize upon waking up
Non-believers, tryna' piss in my boots
People who don't believe in his abilities are trying to bring him down
Don't they know they'll have to fly just to fit in my shoes
The bar is set so high that others will have to reach great heights to catch up
Got the world in my palm and the feet on the dash
Feeling in control of the world while also enjoying the ride
So let them bitch, 'n' wish I wasn't the reason they rapped
Let them complain and wish they didn't get into rapping because of his success
Shit, I'm tryna' write a song with insight
Striving to create a song with a deeper meaning and message
So look past the mask, there's diamonds on the inside
Don't judge by appearance, there's beauty and value on the inside
We're unplugged, and blessing you with magic
Presenting pure, organic music that invokes a magical feeling
Our drifter's in the air but the question's can you catch it
Their music is up for grabs, but only for those who can catch its essence
It is love that can set you free
Love has the power to set one free from their worries and troubles
Watching the sun setting on the sea
Enjoying the beautiful, peaceful sight of the sun setting over the sea
And you can lift me above the highest mountain peak
With love, one can achieve the impossible, like being lifted above the highest mountain peak
And now I see, right from my balcony
Feeling grateful for the perspective and view from where he stands
Kind of comic how a kid from DC would Marvel at his superheroes
Ironically, a kid from DC (home of the rival comics company) is awed by Marvel superheroes
Draining his Walkman battery juice to zero
Listening repeatedly to the music he loves until his Walkman battery dies
A teen with a dream, and since the whole start I've
As a teenager with a dream, he has been dedicated to his goals from the beginning
Been like Quentin plotting from the video archives
Like Quentin Tarantino, he has been carefully planning and analyzing videos for inspiration
So I direct my film like Jack Sparrows' compass
Directing his music like how Jack Sparrow uses his compass in the Pirates of the Caribbean films
Cut sick, shooting like a black barrel gunship.
Attacking with his sharp rhymes, shooting like a powerful black barrel gunship
Just like when the rain and thunder hits the planet
Like the impact of stormy weather, his music is powerful and intense
Dreamt once in the clouds now the mother-ship has landed
Once just a dream in the clouds, now the ultimate goal has been achieved
Goddammit spectacular, lock it up and load
Awe-inspiring and amazing, he's ready to deliver the music with full force and power
With that flip of the tongue, hit of the drum, rock and fucking roll
With his smooth flow and perfect rhythm, he delivers the ultimate rock and roll experience
I spark an idea ignited from my balls
His creativity is fueled by his passion and drive
Add it to the 99 bottles of lightning on my wall
Adding another idea to the collection of great creations already achieved
In a boat of hope on an ocean where the shark lives
Being on a journey of hope in the midst of harsh realities and challenges
Spitting fireflies to paint my poems in the darkness
Using his words to create a beautiful image in the midst of darkness
Connectivity is in my stare, shit, electricity is in the air
He's so focused and electrifying that you can feel the energy in the air
So throw your islands in the sky if you feel the vibe
If you're caught up in the vibe and feeling the energy, express it freely
Hip Hop is still alive every time we fly
With great music, the hip hop genre lives on and thrives
When I find a line like a rope I can use it
When he discovers a powerful idea, he utilizes it to the fullest
To lift me out the sea of disposable music
Using great music to rise above the sea of mediocre, disposable music
But you can't touch my soul cause that dog shit smells
Don't even try to bring down his spirit, it's untouchable and nothing like dog feces
I wanna be taken away like a cosmic spell
Wanting to be transported to another dimension through the power of music
So no need to show me the money of bomb? hit sales
He's not interested in the money and fame that come with selling out and producing generic hits
Cause this song gives me the quan just like Rodd Tidwell and so...
This song provides him with the satisfaction and fulfillment similar to the one experienced by Rod Tidwell in the movie Jerry Maguire
Just let me enjoy this for a minute
Let him enjoy the moment and the feeling of fulfillment
And it is love that can set you free
Love has the power to free one from their troubles and worries
Watching the sun setting on the sea
Enjoying the beautiful, peaceful sight of the sun setting over the sea
And if you lift me above the highest mountain peak
With love, one can help achieve things that were once impossible
And now I see, right from my balcony
Feeling grateful for the perspective and view from where he stands
Welcome to my house of dreams
Welcome to a world of creativity, passion and fulfillment

I've seen ufos, and my mum visited me after she died. When I was in the mental hospital I told a guy, and he pissed in my shoes. Eso says non believers trynna piss in my boots. He also says a viking with the rhyme. My last name is from a viking clan. He also says duck I'm insane, my ex girlfriend used to call me ducky.
Beat me in their dreams, and they wake up and apologise--listen to the words, lol.
The mystery of why.

More and more I'm reminded how awful rap is here in the states. This is amazing. Aussie hip-hop is actual music with a real message behind it!
Misty Douglas

@Mordragful I'm not from germany but I have a heap of ancestors there and my Opa came from Germany, I have to say- that is true Sorry germans.

I'm Australian yet I still love aussie the most and I can't say Aussie is the best because I came from Australia but it is, Australians are the best storytellers so all of their well most of their songs have meaning like their stories. The rest of hip hop, rap all of that it just doesn't connect with me. This is an absolute message it says "Live, love and make a great life while you can. It won't last long." That's what it says to me.
Nobody_Awsum
Im listening to q lot of underground artists that are actually lyrical, but i have to agree. Uk, and aussie hiphop are the overall leaders outside of mainstream hiphop which is mainly just americans or canadians. Coming from an american. Lol.
Aja_M
"kinda comic how a kid from DC could marvel at his super heroes" still the best line in hip hop ever
Timothy Sword
