Dreamer
Eve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She saw that he closed the door
She stole a look in the guarded book
His prose was a line of crows
On a washing line in the summer time
And the wind blew the crows around
Some made the sky, some hit the ground
She never heard a fuller sound
It comes as no surprise;

She's in love with the dreamer,
So in love with his world.

He had songs you could sing along to
In any time, in any key.
They were jewels in Elysian pools
In eternity for all to see
And the water helped the jewels to shine,
Some like the stars and some like wine

In the eyes of earthbound angels
It comes as no surprise

He makes her close her eyes,
He helps her paint the skies blue.

And the seventh dream was, so surreal
When the dreamer broke the seventh seal




And butterflies all lost their wheels
It comes as no surprise

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreamer" by Eve retells the story of a woman who is drawn to a man who seems to have a unique way of seeing the world. The opening verse describes the woman looking in on the man as he closes the door, and stealing a look at a book that he has been writing. The prose in the book is described as "a line of crows on a washing line" - this image conjures up a sense of attraction to the unusual, as well as a feeling of freedom and detachment from earthly cares. The wind blowing the crows around creates a sense of fluidity and impermanence, which fits with the theme of the song's title - "Dreamer."


The second verse describes the man's music, which is equally entrancing to the woman. The songs are described as "jewels in Elysian pools," creating a sense of otherworldliness and magic. The fact that the water helps to make the jewels shine suggests that there is something empowering about the man's art, as if his vision gives shape and color to a world that would otherwise be dark and formless. The final lines of the song refer to the "seventh dream," which seems to be a moment when the artist has broken through to a new level of creativity and imagination. The image of the butterflies losing their wheels suggests a sense of awe and wonder at this level of achievement - it is a rare moment that feels almost too surreal to be true.

Line by Line Meaning

She saw that he closed the door
She noticed that he closed the door


She stole a look in the guarded book
She secretly glanced at the protected book


His prose was a line of crows
His writing was a flock of black birds


On a washing line in the summer time
Sitting on a clothesline during summertime


And the wind blew the crows around
The wind carried the birds away


Some made the sky, some hit the ground
Some flew up high, some fell down


She never heard a fuller sound
She never heard a richer sound


It comes as no surprise;
This is not unexpected;


She's in love with the dreamer,
She is in love with the one who dreams,


So in love with his world.
So in love with his imaginary realm.


He had songs you could sing along to
He had tunes that you could sing with him,


In any time, in any key.
At any moment, in any pitch.


They were jewels in Elysian pools
They were precious stones in heavenly water.


In eternity for all to see
For everyone to see forever.


And the water helped the jewels to shine,
And the water made the gems sparkle,


Some like the stars and some like wine
Some like stars, and some like wine.


In the eyes of earthbound angels
From the perspective of human angels,


It comes as no surprise
This is not shocking.


He makes her close her eyes,
He asks her to shut her eyes,


He helps her paint the skies blue.
He helps her make the sky blue.


And the seventh dream was, so surreal
And the seventh dream was incredibly unreal


When the dreamer broke the seventh seal
When the one who dreams lifted the seventh seal,


And butterflies all lost their wheels
And all the butterflies became disoriented,


It comes as no surprise
This is not unexpected.

심각하게 앉아서 TV보고 있으면 터져버릴 것만 같은 머리
세상은 내 마음대로 변하지 않아 나 혼자 미쳐가네

311호 이게 내 번호야 311호 이게 내 번호야
311호 이게 내 번호야 311호 이게 내 번호야

라라라라 라라라 라라라라 라라랄라
라라라라 라라라 라라라라 라라랄라

하루종일 나는 꿈을 꿔요 세상이 모두 다 거꾸로 돌아가버
리는 꿈을 머저리같은 세상 1.2.3.4

돌아가는 내 머리 조금씩 생각이 멍청해지고 이상해지더니
여기에 오게 됐어
매를 맞는 슈퍼맨 옷을 입은 자동차들
무지빠른 거북이 (요리하는 벌레 내친구는 E.T)
이제 정신차릴 시간

이슴

이노래 아는사람이 또있네
