Dragonfly
G.L.A.M.S Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it all tonight underneath a perfect sky
Where the universe revolves around the pupil of an eye
And infinities stretch out from infinities within
And I'm a part of everything, I'm a part of everything

Am I falling asleep? Is it all just a dream?
Well, the cars are like water and the road is like a stream
Rolling down through the city, flowing out into the sea

Going nowhere like me, going nowhere like me

When the morning starts to glow out in the corners of the sky
All the people come and go, and the time just passes by
Then I'm only gonna see it from the corner of my eye
When the planet spins, it sings like the wings of a dragonfly

I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight

I can see it all tonight
I can see it all tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of G.L.A.M.S's "Dragonfly" invite listeners into a contemplative and dreamlike state, as the singer muses upon the vastness and interconnectedness of the universe. The opening lines immediately set the scene for this introspection, describing a perfect sky that encompasses everything in its pupil. The following lines evoke the notion of infinite regression, with infinities stretching out from within each other. This leads to a feeling of cosmic unity, as the singer recognizes that they are a part of everything they see. The use of repetition at the end of this stanza drives home the sense of belonging and interconnectedness.

The second stanza introduces a sense of uncertainty and questioning, as the singer wonders if they are falling asleep or dreaming. The metaphor of cars as water and the road as a stream further stresses the fluidity and transience of life. The image of the city flowing out into the sea creates a sense of being adrift and aimless. The feeling of directionlessness is echoed in the repetition of the final line, which emphasizes the singer's lack of direction and purpose.

The final stanza brings a serene and almost meditative quality, as the singer watches the world go by at the start of a new day. The repetition of "come and go" emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and human existence. The final line brings the dragonfly metaphor full circle, likening the planet's spinning to the buzzing of dragonfly wings. Overall, the lyrics of "Dragonfly" invite listeners to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the universe and their place in it.
