Heavy Dreaming
Brisa Roché Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Cloudy shorebreak
Falcon soaring
Daylights blind date
Never cocktails
Always coffee
Stupid coat-tails
Opium poppy
Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Sharp italian's
Falling castle
Racing stallions
Silver tassel
Revving motor
Clever vision
Hidden harbor
Take this ribbon
Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Oh so black your hair
Put your head down here
Oh so black your hair
Put your head down here
Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming
Black like your eyes, black like your hair
Baby run now
Baby run now
Baby run now
Baby run now
Run, run baby
Run, run baby
Run, run baby
Run, run baby
The lyrics to Brisa Roché's song "Heavy Dreaming" seem to be describing a fantastical and surreal world that the singer is experiencing in their dreams, yet finds difficult to differentiate from reality upon waking. The repetition of the phrase "Heavy dreaming makes the waking like the dreaming" suggests that the dreams are deeply impactful and perhaps even overwhelming to the point of blurring the lines between what is real and what is not. The use of the color black to describe the subject's eyes and hair creates a certain moodiness and intensity, reinforcing the dreamlike atmosphere of the song.
The rest of the lyrics are a series of seemingly unrelated images and phrases, which further enhance the surreal quality of the song. The line "Borrowed morning, cloudy shorebreak" suggests a fleeting moment or borrowed time, while "Never cocktails, always coffee" hints at a certain mundanity or routine in the singer's life. The references to Italian castles, racing stallions, and hidden harbors all add to the sense of adventure and escapism present in the song.
