Castles In The Air
Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreamers everywhere
Building castles in the air
Like dreamers everywhere
If you asked me as a child
If I knew what I would be
Today
Convinced of my destiny
True to this day
Music, music my first love
Music I love
You're all, all, all, All that I dream of
Labour of my love
If you want to know how it feels
Look into the eyes of a child
At play
I make no excuse for my life
'Cause I believe, I believe, I believe
To dream is the way
The song Castles In The Air by Incognito is about the power of dreams and music in a person's life. The opening lines, "Castles in the air, dreamers everywhere, building castles in the air like dreamers everywhere" highlights the idea that people have big dreams and often envision themselves as something greater than they currently are. The song also speaks to the notion that music is a powerful influence on one's life, as the chorus repeatedly references the singer's love for music, stating that it is the labour of their love.
The lyrics then take a turn and talk about the singer's childhood and how they always knew that music was going to be their destiny. The line "If you asked me as a child if I knew what I would be today, I would give you a reply convinced of my destiny, true to this day" suggests that their dreams have been consistent throughout their life. This is further emphasized when the singer says that music was their first love and that it has been all they have dreamed of.
The song then concludes by saying that dreaming is the way to live life, and to look at the world through the eyes of a child. The line "I make no excuse for my life 'cause I believe, I believe, I believe to dream is the way" stresses that dreaming big and working towards those dreams is a way to live life to the fullest.
