6. Walking On A Dream
Empire of the Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I explain
Talking to myself
Will I see again
We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
Thought I'd never see
The love you found in me
Now it's changing all the time
Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime
We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
Catch me I'm falling down
Catch me I'm falling down
Don't stop just keep going on
I'm your shoulder lean upon
So come on deliver from inside
All we got is tonight that is right 'till first light
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
Is it real now
When two people become one
I can feel it
When two people become one
The lyrics of Empire of the Sun's "Walking On A Dream" reflect both the exhilaration and uncertainty that comes with newfound love. The first verse alludes to the feeling of being lost in the moment, without much thought for the future or the past. The repetition of "we are always running for the thrill of it" highlights the excitement and spontaneity that often mark the beginning of a relationship, but also suggests a restlessness and eagerness to move forward without looking back. This is echoed in the second verse where the singer reflects on the changes that come with being in love, while still emphasizing the sense of urgency and momentum that come with new beginnings.
The refrain, "Is it real now, when two people become one, I can feel it, when two people become one," echoes the sentiment popularized by the Spice Girls in the '90s, that love can be transformative, and that when two people come together in love, they become stronger and more unified. The song suggests that love is a force that propels the singer forward, driving them to seek out new experiences and take risks.
Overall, "Walking on a Dream" is a song that celebrates the excitement, passion, and freedom that come with falling in love, even as it acknowledges the uncertainty and vulnerability that often accompany these feelings.
