Rhythmic Dreams
James & Brian Eno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dreamer still
For you love a dream
A dreamer still
For you dream
A love too bad to meet
Where your song is all
The wait is still
Your rage will steal
I relax and hold your way to see
It's the falling dark beside the sea
It's a dream along the water scene
It's the light of that you're ever she
The lyrics of "Rhythmic Dreams" by James & Brian Eno are a bit enigmatic, but they evoke images of love, dreams, and the power of music. The use of repetition in the lines "For a love you dream/A dreamer still/For you love a dream/A dreamer still" suggests a sense of longing and a lack of fulfillment. It's as if the singer is saying that even though they dream of love, they are still a dreamer, perhaps implying that reality has not met their expectations.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of waiting: "Where your song is all/The wait is still." This line suggests that the singer is waiting for something, perhaps for love or for a creative breakthrough. The use of the word "rage" in the line "And your song is of/Your rage will steal" adds to the sense of frustration and passion that is hinted at throughout the song.
The chorus, which repeats the line "I relax and hold your way to see," seems to suggest a sense of surrender and acceptance. The images of the falling dark beside the sea and the dream along the water scene evoke a sense of peacefulness and tranquility, perhaps suggesting that the singer has found some solace in their dreams and in the power of music.
