See More Glass
Dreams Prevail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jump overboard (a tramp-ohhh-lean-on-me)
Teysiketiqueteenac you
Y?
Does it equal X?
(or die-visual-bye-zero)
Commie propagandha
(God) Help us all
Y? Y? Y?
The lyrics to Dreams Prevail's song See More Glass are characterized by a surreal, dreamlike quality that makes them difficult to interpret, but at their core they seem to be exploring themes of language, communication, and the search for meaning. In the first verse, the singer describes a group of people scribbling "bad Russian poetics" and using nonsensical phrases like "Teysiketiqueteenac." These actions seem to be both a reflection of the chaos and fragmentation of language in our contemporary world and a desperate attempt to create something meaningful out of that chaos.
The second verse is even more abstract, with references to jumping overboard, a tramp, and a visual zero. The singer asks whether the equation "Y = X" is true, or whether it will lead to death ("die-visual-bye-zero"). The final lines suggest a sense of hopelessness, with the singer writing about "Commie propagandha" and appealing to a higher power for help.
Overall, the lyrics to See More Glass are highly poetic and open to a range of interpretations. They seem to be grappling with the inherent difficulties of language, the search for meaning in a confusing world, and the sense of powerlessness that many people feel in the face of larger social and political forces.
