Eiffel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreams, Truth Or Belief, I See A Man
Sleep On The Street With Golden Clothes, Oh Oh Oh
I, Run Standing Still, I Hear A Melody
As It Fades In A Dream...

Whoa Whoa Whoa

You, King Of Lullaby, A Dream Inside My Mind
King Of Nothing, But You Give A Smile
You, King Of Lullaby, The World Is Yours At Night
King Of Magic, But In The End, King Of Lullaby

Dreams, Inside My Dreams, I Speak A Language
That I've Never Known Before

I Can Float On Air, As The Sweet Melody
Is Opening The Door...

Whoa Whoa Whoa

You, King Of Lullaby, A Dream Inside My Mind
King Of Nothing, But You Give A Smile
You, King Of Lullaby, The World Is Yours At Night
King Of Magic, But In The End, King Of Lullaby

Whoa Whoa Whoa

You, King Of Lullaby, A Dream Inside My Mind
King Of Nothing, But You Give A Smile

You, King Of Lullaby, The World Is Yours At Night
King Of Magic, But In The End, King Of Lullaby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eiffel's song "Lullaby" tell the story of a dreamer who finds himself caught in the midst of a surreal world where dreams, truth, and belief are all blended into one. The dreamer sees a man sleeping on the street with golden clothes, and the image is so vivid that it's hard to tell if it's real or just a figment of his imagination. As he navigates through this strange land, he hears a melody that seems to be both real and ethereal, as if it is both a part of his dreams and something tangible in the real world. The dreamer is transfixed by the melody, but as it fades away, he is left with only the memory of the beautiful music.

Throughout the song, references to a "King of Lullaby" are made, implying that this character is somehow responsible for the dreamer's journey. At first, the dreamer sees this king as a figment of his imagination, but later comes to understand that the king is real, and has the power to transform the dreamer's reality. The king is portrayed as both magical and mysterious, someone who can make the impossible possible and turn dreams into reality. In the end, the dreamer realizes that the king of lullaby is both the source of his dreams and the reason why they exist in the first place.
