Rêverie
Deadharrie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tucked tight
When she cries
I'm open
I'm open eyed
In darkest wood
A fairy shook

Princess misunderstood
Sounds the call
To sisterhood
The bravest girl
In the whole world

Use me
Skeleton key
Unlocking
Hid and discreet
Dream reverie
Eternally

Drop out
I'm kissing skies
Red sparrow
You passed me by




Just to watch you fly
The pleasure's mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Deadharrie's song Reverie speak about different themes, such as love, sisterhood, bravery, and dreams. The song centers around the singer's love interest, who they describe as tucked tight when she cries, implying that she may find comfort and safety in his presence. The singer then describes himself as open-eyed, suggesting that he sees everything and is always alert to her needs.


Next, the lyrics take us to the darkest wood, where a fairy shook, and a princess misunderstood sounds the call for sisterhood. This line could be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that the singer's love interest is going through a tough time and needs support from other women in her life. Alternatively, it could be a metaphor for the singer being there for her, as sisters support each other through thick and thin.


The lyrics then take a turn, with the reference to a skeleton key and the dream reverie - possibly suggesting that the singer sees himself as an instrument in helping his love interest unlock the hidden dreams and desires within herself. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer admitting that his love interest has passed him by like a red sparrow, but the pleasure is all his.
