Karma
Dreamers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You walk the street
With rust beneath your feet
It leaves a trace
You sure did like a snake

You always run away, away, away
You never stop and stay, and stay, and stay
You always run away, you try to take
The pain away, away, away

A pile of gold
It's just behind your door
You clutch and hold it
The memories that you sold

You always run away, away, away
You never stop and stay, and stay, and stay
You always run away, you try to take
The pain away, away, away, away

Some day soon
Karma's gonna find you
Wherever you run to
It's one step behind you
You don't have to hold that weight
Every levy's got to break
Someday soon, someday soon

What have I done
What goes ghost have I become
The moon comes up
And shines the same on everyone

You always run away, away, away
You never stop and stay, and stay, and stay
You always run away, you try to take
The pain away, away, away

Some day soon
Karma's gonna find you
Wherever you run to
It's one step behind you
You don't have to hold that weight
Every levy's got to break
Someday soon, someday soon

Some day soon
Karma's gonna find you
Wherever you run to

You always run away, away, away
You never stop and stay, and stay, and stay
You always run away, you try to take
The pain away, away, away

Some day soon
Karma's gonna find you
Wherever you run to
It's one step behind you
You don't have to hold that weight




Every levy's got to break
Someday soon, someday soon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dreamers's song Karma speak about a person who is constantly running away from their problems and trying to escape from the pain. The opening lines represent the person's struggle and the marks they leave behind as they try to flee. The reference to a snake insinuates that the person could be deceptive or sly. The second stanza refers to the material possessions the person has accumulated, but they fail to provide true happiness or satisfaction. This stanza also mentions that the person has sold their memories, which could mean that they are distracted from their problems or ignoring them altogether.


The chorus of the song emphasizes that the person is trying to escape from their pain by running away. However, karma is portrayed as one step behind them, which means that they cannot escape the consequences of their actions forever. The lines "You don't have to hold that weight, every levy's got to break" suggest that the person should face their problems and that eventually, everything will come to the surface. The last stanza is about regret and asks the question "What have I done?". It could mean that the person is beginning to realize that they can't run away forever and that they, at some point, need to confront their problems.


Line by Line Meaning

You walk the street
You roam around aimlessly


With rust beneath your feet
The places you tread may not have the same glory as they used to have, and they are usually old and forgotten


It leaves a trace
As you walk around the streets, you leave behind a trail of your existence


You sure did like a snake
You are cunning like a snake


You always run away, away, away
You are constantly running away from your problems instead of facing them


You never stop and stay, and stay, and stay
You never stay at one place for too long


You always run away, you try to take
Once your life becomes difficult, you try to run from it and start anew


The pain away, away, away
You leave behind the broken pieces of your life rather than trying to fix them


A pile of gold
You have a lot of money


It's just behind your door
Your wealth is within easy reach


You clutch and hold it
You do not let your wealth go and try to hold onto it as much as possible


The memories that you sold
You have traded the sweet memories of your past for money


The pain away, away, away, away
You try to bury the pain of your past rather than confronting it


Some day soon
In the near future


Karma's gonna find you
Your actions will have consequences


Wherever you run to
Even if you try to escape your problems, karma will follow you


It's one step behind you
Karma is always close to taking action against you


You don't have to hold that weight
You don't have to bear the burden of your past anymore


Every levy's got to break
At some point, the dam holding back the flood of consequences will burst


Someday soon, someday soon
The consequences of your actions will catch up to you, and it won't wait forever


What have I done
You realize that you have created a great deal of trouble for yourself


What goes ghost have I become
You have changed who you were, abandoned your past and loved ones - to such a degree that you don't even recognize who you are anymore


The moon comes up
As time goes on, new cycles of life and change keep coming on


And shines the same on everyone
No matter how much trouble you are in or how different you see yourself, the world keeps on spinning and everyone experiences the same cycle - of new beginnings and abrupt ends
