The Dream
Blitz//Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Self-help goat, sling a colt for the pressure
Not saying that I whipped him with a weapon, but dude got the message
Bobby Builder with tools, I'm fixing attitudes
Set it up, got em stuck
Wet him up, aqueduct
Suss agents, I'm done playing, the blood spraying
Scotty with the beam and a shotty blast, he bodybagged
The lyrics to Blitz//Berlin's song The Dream are quite cryptic, and open to interpretation. The song itself is quite haunting and ethereal, with elements of electronic music mixed with a dark and brooding atmosphere. The lyrics seem to tell a story of power and control, with the singer seeming to have some kind of power over another person.
The first line, "Hot hands around his throat, melt the necklace," seems to suggest some kind of physical violence or control over another person. The melting of the necklace could symbolize the destruction of something that was valuable or cherished to the other person. The next line, "Self-help goat, sling a colt for the pressure," is even more cryptic, but could suggest that the singer is relying on themselves to deal with pressure and stress, rather than seeking help from others.
The following line, "Not saying that I whipped him with a weapon, but dude got the message," seems to imply that the singer has some kind of power over the other person, but doesn't need to resort to physical violence to make their point. The imagery of "Bobby Builder with tools, I'm fixing attitudes" suggests that the singer sees themselves as someone who can fix and control others.
The final lines, "Set it up, got em stuck, Wet him up, aqueduct, Suss agents, I'm done playing, the blood spraying, Scotty with the beam and a shotty blast, he bodybagged, Sweet dreams" seem to suggest that the singer has set some kind of trap or plan in motion, and that bloodshed and violence will ensue. The final line, "Sweet dreams," is a chilling conclusion that implies that the singer takes pleasure in the violence they have caused.
