Planted Somewhere Hidden
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day passed by
What made it different to all the others?
Yesterday's light was just as bright as the night.
Swallow all the things that cause your world to fall apart.

Staring at the sky with no direction on my mind.
With closed eyes we see
How everything is dying inside.

When you would be there
Then no one would stay aimless.
Falling from a sky where only darkest clouds survive.

We were once tall men and now we shiver at the sight of such stature.
When our heroes die away and our dreams begin to fade away.
Where are we meant to be?
Nowhere but here.
This is the voice that you seem to hear when your mind is getting weaker.
All you can see is the breath of the night
It's time to capture the light.

Welcome to a world that's not even worth dying for,
In a world where a king no longer needs a queen anymore.

Don't pretend you don't listen to me.
I say "Pick up what you have thrown away."

Don't pretend you don't listen to me.
I say "Pick up what you have thrown away."

Overall Meaning

Dream On Dreamer's song Planted Somewhere Hidden explores themes of hope, disillusionment, and self-discovery. The opening lyrics, "Another day passed by, what made it different to all the others?" set the tone for the introspective and contemplative nature of the song. The lyrics speak to the idea that life can feel repetitive and mundane, but that we have the power to change it if we choose to do so.

The line "Swallow all the things that cause your world to fall apart" speaks to the idea of resilience and the need to let go of things that can hold us back. The chorus, "We were once tall men and now we shiver at the sight of such stature. When our heroes die away and our dreams begin to fade away" explores the idea that as we grow older, we can become disillusioned with the world around us, including our idols and aspirations.

The lyrics "Welcome to a world that's not even worth dying for, In a world where a king no longer needs a queen anymore" speak to the idea that the world can be a harsh and unforgiving place, but we still have the power to create our own meaning and purpose in life. Ultimately, the song is a call to action to take control of our own lives and not to give up on our dreams, despite the hardships and challenges that we may face.
