Rêverie
Diamant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the sidewalk ends
A heart goes still
There's some things
I have yet to confess
Cause it doesn't sound beautiful yet
Don't know if it ever will
Tore through time itself waiting for the answer
Someone else must know
Someone else must know
Someone else must know
No one knows a thing
Someday I hope to be what I need on my own
Sensing still, there's some chaos under my skin
One day you will see what I mean
I'm thinking all the time
How it's been, how it'll be, how we're always starting to die
And you don't care how I feel, killing to survive
I'm awake, but it hurts
Baby I have yet to confess
If this is true
Tell me this is true
Tell me this is true
No one knows, no one knows a thing
Kill me now, I crossed out your name
Pull me down into hell I belong
You agree with me, but you hate the smell
Kill me now, I crossed out your name
Pull me down into hell I belong
You agree with me, but you hate the smell
Pull me down into hell I belong
You agree with me, but you hate the smell
The lyrics to Diamant's "Reverie" appear to describe a sense of isolation, confusion and pain. The opening line, "one day we fell off the edge of the world", sets the stage for a journey into the unknown depths of personal experience. The phrase "where the sidewalk ends" conjures images of a bleak landscape, perhaps signifying a loss of direction or a feeling of being adrift in life. The following line, "a heart goes still" suggests a sense of numbness or loss of feeling, perhaps in reference to a traumatic event or personal struggle. The repetition of the line "someone else must know" suggests a desire for connection or understanding, yet a feeling of being alone in one's struggles.
The second half of the song seems to deal with themes of self-discovery and acceptance. The line "someday I hope to be what I need on my own" indicates a resolve to become self-reliant, while the phrase "there's some chaos under my skin" suggests that the journey towards self-discovery can be painful and difficult. The lines "you don't care how I feel, killing to survive" suggest a sense of betrayal or abandonment. The repeated plea "tell me this is true" signifies a desire for reassurance or validation. The final lines of the song "kill me now, I crossed out your name, pull me down into hell I belong, you agree with me but you hate the smell" suggest a sense of darkness and despair.
