Dreamers
Jean-Philippe Verdin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreamers and prayers
We don't know what's out there
There's no way we'll wake up
There's no way they'll leave us alone
Alone...
So whisper
Little prayer
We are dreaming and praying, yeah
We are just low fence
We'd shelter
And we'll dare to share the air
Ooh despair and we'll dare to jump high
And fly away with broken wings
No wings...
So whisper
Little prayer
We are dreamin'
And tryin'... Yeah!
So whisper
Little prayer
We are dreaming and dueling
Someone is watching
We were just laughing
We were dying
It was all lie
A bean in our eye
Our tears were so dry
So whisper, oh stay away
We are dreaming and praying
We were just laughing
We were dying
It was over




Our tears were so dry
For naught, for naught

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jean-Philippe Verdin's song Dreamers depict a sense of uncertainty and fear. The opening line, "Dreamers and prayers, we don't know what's out there" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The phrase "there's no way they'll leave us alone" introduces the idea that the dreamers and prayers are not alone and they are being watched or monitored. This could represent a higher power or a dominating force that is controlling their fate. The chorus repeats the phrase "So whisper little prayer, we are dreaming and praying" which emphasizes the helplessness of the characters that they can only hope for a better future.


As the song progresses, the lyrics seem to suggest that despite the fear and uncertainty, the dreamers and prayers will not give up. They are willing to take risks and dare to share the air. The line "and we'll dare to jump high and fly away with broken wings" represents their determination to persevere, even if they are not fully equipped for the journey. The second chorus adds the phrase "we are dreaming and dueling" which introduces the idea of a struggle or a fight against the forces that are oppressing them.


The final section of the song is a moment of realization, where the characters realize that their efforts were futile. "It was all a lie, a beam in our eye. Our tears were so dry, for naught, for naught." This line conveys a sense of loss and disappointment, that their dreams and prayers were not enough to overcome the challenge they were facing. Overall, the song brings to light the struggles of dreaming without action and emphasizes the need for determination and courage to turn those dreams into reality.
