Eyes of a Dream
Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her head down and walking slow
Her black hair flies straight back
The rain hit's hard and cold
He wants to meet her eyes just once
She glances up then down
He'll not forget those eyes
Ahh oh, what is your name
Why do you wander so resilient
I wish to see those eyes, crazy brilliant
Oh, where are you now
You left a memory magnificent
Longing for those eyes, crazy brilliant
Her footsteps fade on cobblestone
She continues on her path
Her long black cape swirls at her feet
He wishes she'd turn back
He knows not what became of her
She vanished in the night
His dreams are filled with thought of her
But she's always out of sight
The lyrics of Borealis's song "Eyes of a Dream" narrate a man's encounter with a mysterious woman dressed in black. The woman's head is down as she walks slowly while her black hair flies straight back. The man desires to meet her eyes just once, and when she glances up briefly before looking back down, he becomes enchanted by her. Although he does not know the woman, her eyes enter his thoughts to the point of haunting him. He is enraptured by the woman, wishing to know her name and why she is wandering. The man yearns to see her again, and the memory of her eyes continues to live on, leaving him with a longing that he cannot escape.
The song's lyrics seem to encapsulate something that is familiar to many people, the feeling of a fleeting moment, the chance to encounter something or someone special that one cannot comprehend but is inescapably drawn towards. The woman in black, with her downcast eyes captured the singer's imagination, making him question his memories and desires. The song's melancholy tone speaks to the bittersweet sensation of longing for someone or something that may never be attainable. It is about the moment of a chance encounter giving way to a feeling that persists and becomes unshakable, the kind of memory that lingers, even if one cannot explain what it is that stays with them.
