Dragonfly
Craft M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it all tonight underneath a perfect sky
Where the universe revolves around the pupil of an eye
And infinities stretch out from infinities within
And I'm a part of everything, I'm a part of everything

Am I falling asleep? Is it all just a dream?
Well, the cars are like water and the road is like a stream
Rolling down through the city, flowing out into the sea
Going nowhere like me, going nowhere like me

When the morning starts to glow out in the corners of the sky
All the people come and go, and the time just passes by
Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye
When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly

I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight




I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight

Overall Meaning

Craft M.'s song "Dragonfly" is a beautifully poetic and introspective piece that speaks to the human experience of feeling small and insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, yet also feeling connected to everything around us. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer observing the world around them and contemplating their place in it: "I can see it all tonight underneath a perfect sky. Where the universe revolves around the pupil of an eye. And infinities stretch out from infinities within. And I'm a part of everything, I'm a part of everything." These lines speak to the interconnectedness of all things, suggesting that we are each a tiny part of something much larger and more complex than we can comprehend.


The second verse of the song delves into the idea of reality and perception, with the singer questioning whether what they are experiencing is real or just a dream: "Am I falling asleep? Is it all just a dream? Well, the cars are like water and the road is like a stream. Rolling down through the city, flowing out into the sea. Going nowhere like me, going nowhere like me." This verse reflects on the transience of human existence and the fleeting nature of life. The final verse brings the song full circle, with the singer watching the world awaken as morning approaches: "When the morning starts to glow out in the corners of the sky. All the people come and go, and the time just passes by. Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye. When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly." Here, the singer suggests that our time on Earth is fleeting, and that we should take the time to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the world that surrounds us.

Going nowhere like me, going nowhere like me

All the people come and go, and the time just passes by
Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye
When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly

I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight
