Rêverie
Debussy / arr. Ed Starink / H. Dussen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my places you never hide the truth
Don't ask me how but it drags me down
It seems like a failure
It's all about being safe and sound
Without any failure
Promise you'll keep me warm
Oh no, oh no
Just four walls, just four walls
And you will find a piece of mine
My sweet romance is just
From me to you
And no one else but you
Means nothing but a mornin' glitch
My reverie
Faces that never blow your mind
All of my faces, they never blow your mind
Don't leave me now until the dawn
Becomes a failure
Where all I drowned by a million sounds
My personal failure
Promise you'll keep me warm
Oh no, oh no
Me standing against four walls
Just four walls, just four walls
My glow seems like almost gone
So strong, so strong
And you will find a piece of mine
My sweet romance is just
From me to you
And no one else but you
Is just from me to you
And no one else but you
From me to you
And no one else but you
Means nothing but a mornin' glitch
My reverie
These lyrics from the song "Revêrie" by Debussy, arranged by Ed Starink and H. Dussen, evoke a sense of longing and vulnerability. The song explores the idea of finding solace in certain places, where the truth is never hidden. However, despite this, the singer feels weighed down and like a failure. The lyrics express a desire to feel safe and sound without any failures.
The chorus emphasizes the need for warmth and support, as the singer stands alone against the confinement of four walls. There is a longing for connection and intimacy, specifically directed towards one person. The phrase "my reverie" suggests that this person is a source of escapism and comfort, a sweet romance that is exclusive to them.
The verses paint a picture of faces that do not leave a lasting impression and a fear of being alone until dawn, where everything becomes a failure and the singer feels overwhelmed by the noise and distractions. The repetition of "oh no" emphasizes the sense of despair and a need for reassurance.
Despite the struggles expressed in the lyrics, there is a glimmer of hope, as the singer believes that this person will eventually find a piece of their mind. However, the glow of this hope is fading and weakening, and the singer wonders if it will be strong enough to sustain them.
In summary, "Revêrie" is a song that explores themes of longing, vulnerability, and the search for emotional connection. It expresses a desire for safety, warmth, and a sweet romance that is solely shared with one person.

I’m sad to say
This will be my final story
An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort
Something he had read
Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin
Never died
They simply became music
So I hope you will enjoy this last piece
Very much.

Debussy. Rêverie. Such a beautiful piece that captures the title, "a daydream", so well. There is something so soothing about the flowing melodic line, the way it repeats in almost a trance-like manner, that can't help but make you feel like you're in a dream. Did you know that Debussy later disliked this piece? It's fascinating how often this happens to works that become popular, can you think of another case where this happened? A certain Rachmaninoff piece comes to mind, and perhaps a Chopin too. I hope you enjoy this last week of waiting ♥
