Dreaming
Ever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The parasites moved in and stole my porcelain bride.
She is nameless and she's vain, sucked with new attentions,
And you didn't have to change- they adored pretension.
With skin pale as the sand, near the nest we laid on,
You gave yourself away, regret as an option.
No sleeping for dreaming now,
We forgot ourselves
We lost ourselves in this maze again,
Chasing the moon's Icarus descent.
She is wicked - all the sane - staved for new directions,
And she wouldn't have to change - they adored pretension.
The soothing screams seems fit, stowed and locked away,
And in one thrust she turned night into day.
No sleeping for dreaming now,
The restless wander dark alone masking this pained shadow on our fears.
We forgot ourselves
We lost ourselves in this maze again,
Chasing the moon's Icarus descent.
No more tries, no more sleep for dreaming
No more, cries cure this rude awakening
And all is left to those that could destroy their loves embrace
This could have been done with more style, with more grace
No more sleep for dreaming x3
No sleeping for dreaming now,
The restless wander dark alone masking this pained shadow on our fears.
We forgot ourselves
We lost ourselves in this maze again,
Chasing the moon's Icarus descent.
No more tries, no more sleep for dreaming
No more, cries cure this rude awakening.
And all is left to those that could destroy their loves embrace
This could have been done with more style, with more grace
While the parasol in bloom hid your painted eyes
As the sun climbs high, I'll watch your shadow die
The lyrics of the song "Dreaming" by Ever are poetic and metaphorical, revealing themes of lost love, regret, and self-destruction. The first verse of the song describes the singer's sense of betrayal and loss as the "parasites" move in and steal his "porcelain bride," who becomes vain and changes to gain new attention. The second verse underscores the themes of regret and loss as the singer describes their attempts to chase the moon's "Icarus descent" and escape the "maze" of their own fears. The final verse expresses the singer's feelings of resignation and despair, as they realize they have destroyed their "love's embrace."
Throughout the song, Ever uses vivid imagery to convey complex emotional states. In the first verse, the description of the "skin pale as the sand" and the image of giving oneself away create a sense of vulnerability and emotional nakedness. The use of the word "parasol" to describe the bride's appearance captures a sense of artificiality and superficial beauty. The repeated image of the moon suggests a sense of transience and fragility.
One interpretation of the song could be that it is about the dangers of seeking external validation and the cost of losing one's sense of self in the process. The singer is aware that the changes they make to themselves are driven by the desire to be admired and loved, but in the end, they realize that they have lost themselves in the process. The image of the "painted eyes" and "porcelain bride" suggest that the singer's love and their sense of self have become objects to be admired and possessed.
