Elysian Fields Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to get beside you
Picking your scabs off
All day long
My dancing is wiser
Sing to me daddy
You never done it
Can't wait for years and years
Oh what you waiting for
Dream me over
What you waiting for
Oh, why you waiting
Gallows black garden
Getting the stakes up
Can't hear the thrush's
Nature song
But she can take
Oh, she can take it
Oh, there's an opening
Oh, where it's happening
Oh, what you waiting for
Dream me over
What you waiting for
Oh, why you waiting
Oh, pull me under
Oh, dream me over
Oh, there's an opening
Oh, where it's happening
Oh, I'm your
I'm your
Someone
Someone
You'll never know
Oh you'll never know
My asylum
What you waiting for
Oh, why you waiting
I'm your
I'm your
Someone
Hold your tears
Dream me over what you waiting for
Oh, who you waiting for
Someone, someone, someone
The lyrics of Elysian Fields's song "Someone" are quite dark and intense. It speaks of going through obstacles, walking through land mines, picking at someone's scabs just to be beside them. The singer is pleading with someone to sing to them, to "dream them over" and not wait for years and years as if it's never coming. There is a sense of desperation and urgency in the words, especially with phrases like "gallows black garden" and "getting the stakes up." The singer is willing to take anything that is thrown at them, hoping that they will be noticed and loved.
The lyrics also speak of an opening, where something is happening, but it's not clear what that is. The repetition of "dream me over" and "what you waiting for" add to the sense of anticipation and wanting. The singer is essentially saying, "I'm here, I'm waiting, what are you waiting for? Dream me over, let's do this." The line "you'll never know my asylum" suggests that the singer's mind is a place where they find solace, possibly suggesting that the relationship they're yearning for is their escape.
Overall, the lyrics of "Someone" are quite emotive and poignant. The use of dark language and imagery creates an intensity that is hard to ignore. The singer's desperation and yearning is palpable, making this a relatable song for many who have been in similar situations.

Walking through land mines
Risking it all just to be near you
Just to get beside you
Going through danger to be next to you
Picking your scabs off, all day long
Trying to heal you, perhaps from past hurts, all the time
My dancing is wiser
My movements have grown smarter, more meaningful
Sing to me daddy, you never done it

Impatience is taking over, it feels like the wait will never end
Oh what you waiting for, Dream me over
Why hesitate, let's get lost in a dream together

Why hold back, what's stopping you from being with me
Gallows black garden, Getting the stakes up
A dark place, preparing for something unknown

There's a chance to change things

You'll never understand the comfort and security I find in you

What's holding you back, why can't you be with me
I'm your, I'm your, Someone
I'm the one you need, the one you can love

Don't cry, let's just dream together, what are you waiting for
Oh, who you waiting for, Someone, someone, someone
Who are you looking for, the one whom you can trust, the one who needs you
