Silver's (?) bright we be flying high
It's just a dream it's just a dream
It's just a dream and we're all dreaming
'snow joke
a little boy fell to the ground
It's just a dream it's just a dream
It's just a dream and we're all dreaming
'snow joke
"He taught me to sing a song. If you want to hear it, I can sing it for you." (a sample from Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's film 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY)
from on the ground to overhead
No space between nothing to fear
Don't take a chance just come with me
We'll hold hands and you will see
it's no joke
The lyrics of J.T.W.R's song "Joke" speak of a dreamlike state where the singer and others are flying high and seeing silver in the sky. The repetition of "it's just a dream" suggests that this is not a real experience, but rather a figment of the imagination. The phrase "'snow joke" plays on the word "no" phonetically, and could be interpreted as expressing that there is nothing real or serious about the experience.
However, there is a shift in tone in the second verse when a little boy falls to the ground and spills his seed. This is a sudden and jarring image that contrasts with the euphoric flight of the first verse. The phrase "'snow joke" is repeated, reinforcing the idea that this event, too, is not entirely real. Perhaps this is meant to suggest that even the mundane actions of life are subject to the fleeting and unreal nature of dreams.
The final lines of the song suggest a call to action, urging the listener to come with the singer on a journey without fear. The declaration that "it's no joke" appears to be a contradiction, given the earlier use of the phrase to dismiss the reality of events. However, it could also be read as a final assertion of the importance of facing life's challenges head-on.
Overall, the lyrics of "Joke" present a surreal and somewhat ambiguous vision of life, where reality and fantasy intertwine and meaning is elusive.

A quote from the 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY movie in which someone promised to sing a song they learned
from on the ground to overhead
From being on the ground to up in the sky
No space between nothing to fear
There's no space in between, nothing to be afraid of
Don't take a chance just come with me
Don't risk it, just come along with me
We'll hold hands and you will see
We'll hold hands and you will understand
it's no joke
This is not a joke
