1984
Ivan Torrent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those things you loved it
The sci-fi movies
The horror stories
Green screen invaders
Tapes for your music
But you kept growing up, growing up
Though your heart just stayed back
Nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
There′s where our dreams belong
There's where our dreams belong
First kiss of youthness
The break up sadness
Friendships arisen
Blessed childish madness
The scent of summer
When freedom had sense
But you kept growing up, growing up
And your heart wants to get back
Nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
There′s where our dreams belong
There's where our dreams belong
There's where our dreams belong
(Your heart wants to get back)
(Your heart wants to get back)
(Your heart wants to get back)
Your heart wants to get back
Your heart wants to get back
Your heart wants to get back
Nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
Nineteen eighty-four
There′s where our dreams belong
(There′s where our dreams belong)
(There's where our dreams belong)
End
The lyrics of Ivan Torrent's "1984" reminisces about the childhood memories and experiences that shaped one's dreams and aspirations. The song begins with the question "Do you remember?," which is a rhetorical question that captures the nostalgic tone of the song. The first stanza talks about the things that one loved, such as sci-fi movies, horror stories, green screen invaders, and tapes for music. These things might have been essential during childhood, but as one grows up, they become a distant memory that one often yearns to relive.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Nineteen eighty-four," which signifies a specific time that holds a special place in the singer's heart. The year 1984 serves as a metaphorical destination for where all dreams belong. It represents a time of innocence, where the first kiss of youthfulness happened, the first heartbreak occurred, new friendships formed, and childhood memories were made. The singer acknowledges that growing up is necessary, but the heart wants to go back to the simplicity and freedom that childhood provided. The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "Your heart wants to get back," signifying the longing for the past.

Hi everyone! I hope this finds you well! Lately, I've received a lot of messages worrying about me and my health. Which I do appreciate.
I want to clarify that I'm fine, but frankly, I've needed time to recover from unfortunate events that hit hard my family and myself and drove me to approximately a blackout of 2 years or so. It is still not an easy path, but that's life... and I'm trying to stay strong and focus my full attention on what makes me happy, Music.
Since then, I've been working on a new album, and last year I posted some pictures on my Instagram account. But honestly, it was one of the multiple phases that a project of this dimension has. There are many people involved that I feel overwhelmed!
Though I understand that four years is a big chunk of time, it's vital to me that you guys see the whole picture. We are humans, and we need time to create. Sometimes more than expected. Time to embrace inspiration, stay connected with our feelings and print our emotions and life experiences into something memorable; that's what Music and every form of art mean to me.
That said, I think it's a good moment to announce that I'm near finishing this new project. It's full of brand new songs, and due to its meaning, it is a very special album to me. So I want to pamper every little aspect of it. I can't wait to share it with all of you guys.
I'm so grateful to have your constant support, aside from the circumstances, aside from the time being in silence. Thanks for your love, respect, and understanding. Thanks for always being there. ❤
Stay tuned and have a beautiful Christmas!
Ivan

I have never been happier than I am at this moment.
