Supernova
Dear Sherlock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll make my way to Neverland
Don't ask any questions
So if I wish for...
and clap my own hands...
will I be able to dream without "the end"?
Lie and change for us...
lie and change for us
The taste of tea in Wonderland
I'm just too late to be a man
I've lost all intentions
Go, I will wait
Until you become a child again
Lie and change for us...
we can't stay this way,
no...
lie and change for us
It's time to wake up,
and see what I have won with this,
you don't deserve all I've made,
I'm not a thing to play,
not an escape,
You used me as morphine.
Lie and change for us...
we can't stay this way,
no...
The lyrics to "Supernova" by Dear Sherlock are open to interpretation, but it can be inferred that the song talks about the desire to escape reality and enter a dream-like state, possibly influenced by the story of Peter Pan's Neverland. The singer of the song wants to shut out the world and enter this fantasy world where they can dream without fear of it ending. The line "Lie and change for us..." could refer to changing oneself in order to fit into the fantasy world or to maintain the illusion of it. The idea of changing oneself for others is explored in the second verse where the singer is willing to wait for someone else to "become a child again" in order to share this dream world with them.

Our current state is unacceptable and cannot continue
The taste of tea in Wonderland
The experience of something surreal and out of the ordinary
I'm just too late to be a man
I missed my chance to live up to societal expectations of what a man is supposed to be
I've lost all intentions
I have no purpose or direction in life
Go, I will wait...Until you become a child again
I will stay behind until you can return to a time when life was simpler and less complicated
It's time to wake up, and see what I have won with this
It's time to face reality and acknowledge the consequences of my actions
you don't deserve all I've made
You are not worthy of all the effort and sacrifices I made for you
I'm not a thing to play, not an escape
I am not an object to be used for entertainment or as a means of escaping reality
You used me as morphine.
You relied on me to make you feel better, but it was only temporary and not a real solution
