The release of 2008’s ‘Breaking The View’ EP, paired with their rock-solid-crowd-pleasing live performance, helped them land the closing ceremonies of the Canada Day Celebration in Waterloo, ON, for 3 consecutive years (2008, 2009, and 2010) to an audience of 10 thousand plus (10 000+) spectators each year, along with other prominent shows including 91.5 the Beat’s “Beat Rocks The Block 2010”, “Spring Music Festival 2010”, “Rock the Mill 2010”, "Barrie New Music Festival 2010" (where they received the ‘Best New Alternative Rock’ award), with 2 solid showcases during "Indie Week Toronto 2010", and the Sirius Satellite CMW opening party for Canadian Music Fest 2011.

Armed with a plethora of new material, a pair of independent labels for support, a continuously growing & loyal fan base, and the drive that many bands aspire for but only few possess, Breaching Vista is fired up and ready to launch their new record “Vera City” on May 3rd 2011.

Rêverie
Breaching Vista Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels like I’m dreaming on top of this world somewhere
Everything’s happening so fast, I’m so scared
And I’ve never felt so unprepared at all, at all
And all these memories turning back these pages I’ve torn
So overwhelmed it excites me
I’ve never been there before (been there before)

Been there before

I’ve never been there before

Well these tables have turned
I’m already full grown
Almost out of time, but I’ve found this
Wouldn’t you know, that I was just learning all of those years
And this fever’s on high
But I’m burning out slow
To take on this feat undeserving
Who would have known?
That I’ve never felt like this before

And I’ve never been there before
And I’ve never been there before
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way
It’s not a lie I would leave here today if I could

(La la la la la la la) (been there before)
(La la la la la la la) (I’ve been there before)

And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (La la la la la la la) (been there before)
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (La la la la la la la) (I’ve never been there before)
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (La la la la la la la) (been there before)
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (La la la la la la la) (and I’ve never been there before)
It’s not a lie, not a lie

I’ve never been there before
And I’ve never been there before (been there before)
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way
It’s not a lie I would leave here today
And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (la la la la la la la)
It’s not a lie I would leave here today

And I’m ready for anything that’s coming my way (la la la la la la la)
It’s not a lie I would leave here today if I could (la la la la la la la)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Breaching Vista's song "Reverie" convey a sense of both excitement and fear as the singer finds themselves in a new and unfamiliar situation. The opening lines suggest a dreamlike state, feeling as though they are on top of the world but also overwhelmed and unprepared for what is unfolding. The mention of memories and torn pages signifies a reflection on the past, perhaps realizing that they have been holding themselves back.

As the song progresses, there is a shift in perspective. The tables have turned, indicating a change in circumstances, and the singer acknowledges that they are growing up and running out of time. The fever being on high suggests intense passion or determination, but it is also causing them to burn out slowly. Despite feeling undeserving of the challenge ahead, they embrace it and declare that they have never felt this way before.

The repeated refrain of "I’ve never been there before" emphasizes the theme of stepping into the unknown. It is a realization that they have never experienced this particular situation, but they are ready and willing to face whatever comes their way. There is a sense of honesty and determination in wanting to leave a mark and not letting fear hold them back.

Overall, "Reverie" captures the conflicting emotions of excitement and apprehension when confronted with new opportunities or challenges. It speaks to the courage to step out of one's comfort zone and embrace the unknown, even if it means feeling unprepared.
