Distant Dreams
Blue Foundation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know how you dare
Stay calm now
Stay calm
I don't know why you call me
I don't know what you want from me
Voices
My trouble seems like distant dreams
My troubles seem so far away
Yesterday
It all seems like distant dreams
My troubles seemed so far away
I don't know why you miss me
I don't know what you want from me
Stay calm now
Stay calm
I don't know why you call me
I don't know what you want from me
The lyrics of Blue Foundation's song Distant Dreams present a sense of confusion and uncertainty towards an unknown person. The singer expresses their confusion about why this person is failing them, calling them, and missing them. The lines "I don't know why you fail me, I don't know how you dare" and "I don't know why you call me, I don't know what you want from me" indicate that the singer is questioning this person's behavior towards them. Despite this confusion, the singer repeatedly urges themselves and this person to "stay calm now" throughout the song.
The chorus of the song, written as "ricochet, voices, my trouble seems like distant dreams", presents a surreal image of the singer's troubles feeling far away and almost dreamlike. The repetition of "my troubles seem so far away, yesterday it all seems like distant dreams" reinforces this dreamlike quality. This could be interpreted as the singer attempting to distance themselves from their problems and find solace in the surreal.
Overall, the lyrics of Distant Dreams evoke a sense of confusion, uncertainty, and surrealism. Through the use of dreamlike imagery, the singer attempts to distance themselves from their troubles and find a sense of calmness.

I love the background of the female's voice. It sounds so good! I'm glad they gave the guy a chance to shine on this album. But Kristine really makes the band! : )
