Rêverie
Crustation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contemplate the circles of
Smoke rings that he blows
Contemplating you
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Chained to this memory
I'm glad you're near I
Want a word in your ear a
Word without wisdom
Always meaning for you
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Gladly I watch it
Sadly I want to
Contemplating you
Suffocating through
Always waiting for you
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
Chained to his memory
Remain in this reverie
The song "Reverie" by Crustation is a beautiful and melancholic track that talks about the pain of being trapped in a memory and unable to let go. The lyrics describe the main character sitting in a room with another person who is smoking a cigarette. As the smoke circles around the room, the singer contemplates the memories of a past love and remains chained to it, unable to move on.
The lyrics use strong imagery to convey the feeling of being stuck. The smoke is a metaphor for the memories that keep floating around in the character's head, and they are unable to escape them. The use of the word "reverie" implies a sense of daydreaming or being lost in thought, which is precisely what the character is doing.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Chained to his memory, remain in this reverie" to emphasize the sense of entrapment. The character is unable to break free from their past and move on with their life. The second verse talks about the desire to speak to someone, but the words don't come out right. The character is always waiting for their past love to come back to them but is suffocating in the process.
Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on the difficulty of letting go of the past and moving on. It's beautifully written and performed, and it captures the pain of lost love in a way that is both raw and sensitive.
