Utopia
Innocent Cabbage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
For my dreams to come
Dreams so ever true
And an omen
Night will fall
Down upon
As I break this anew
Walk this pressure up
High a sky of blue
And a mountain
Night will fall
Down upon
I miss you
It's the way to run
And the way to hide
But I can't find love
In your paradise
Well I don't have the answers to all
But I know that your questions are fake
Nurture treats the mind
To a mistake
Utopia
AAAARGH!!
The lyrics to Innocent Cabbage's song "Utopia" explore themes of longing, dreaminess, and disillusionment. The singer is waiting for someone, possibly a lover, to arrive and bring with them their dreams, which are described as "ever true" and "an omen." However, the arrival of night only intensifies the singer's sense of loneliness and longing.
The next verse sees the singer reflect on the pressure of life, using the imagery of a mountain and a "sky of blue." Despite this, the night brings with it the same feelings of missing the absent person.
The chorus brings some frustration and resentment to the forefront, as the singer seems to be lamenting their inability to find love in the addressee's "paradise." They also seem to dismiss the addressee's questions as "fake," suggesting a lack of authenticity in their relationship.
The final line, "Utopia," may be interpreted as a reference to the elusive nature of the singer's ideal world, which they are struggling to attain.
