Eldorado
Drum Theatre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a land of reason
Such a perfect place
For golden season
Eldorado, hear the story that you told
If you need a dream you'll find a land of gold
If you need a dream you'll find a land of gold
Eldorado, hear the story that you told
If you need a dream you'll find a land of gold
Eldorado

The opening lines of Drum Theatre's "Eldorado" speak of a perfect world and a land of reason that exists in a golden season. It seems to paint a utopian image of a place that is hard to reach but once achieved, might offer the ultimate escape for people who are looking for a dreamy and magical experience. As the chorus asserts, "Eldorado, hear the story that you told, if you need a dream you'll find a land of gold". It indicates that the song might be about finding hope and a better life by abandoning the harsh realities of the world and seeking an idealized vision in our minds.
The concept of Eldorado has been used throughout literature and music over the years to describe a mythical land of riches and happiness. In the song, the idea of such a place seems more symbolic rather than literal. It serves as a metaphor for hope and aspiration that everyone carries in their hearts. In a way, it's about the human need to seek an idyllic existence that cannot exist in the tangible world but can only be found in our interpretation of that reality. The repetition of the word "Eldorado" throughout the song highlights the significance of this concept and shows the power it holds to be manifested in our experiences.
