Dreaming On
Kid Wave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow me, forget the time
Where I spend most my life
When real life is too vile
You gave me tools to come back down
But all I want to stay off the ground
My feet were never yours or mine
There's a thing – society
Got no space for you and me
I have to rest my head somewhere
There's no time for me down there
Got one hand on heavens door
And the other one is on the floor
I will stay, I will hold on
But just as long I'm dreaming on
In Kid Wave's song "Dreaming On," the lyrics express a longing for an escape from the realities and hardships of everyday life. The singer describes a world that exists solely within their own mind, a place where they can find solace and peace. They invite the listener to accompany them on this journey and forget about the constraints of time and the burdens of the real world.
The first verse portrays the singer's preference for the dream world over the harshness of reality. They find refuge in this imaginative realm, emphasizing that real life can often be unpleasant and distressing. The lyrics suggest that someone, possibly a significant other or a mentor figure, has provided them with the tools to return to reality but comments on their desire to remain detached from the ground, symbolizing a resistance to facing the challenges of life.
The second verse delves into the disconnection the singer feels from society. They articulate a lack of acceptance or space for individuals like themselves within the confines of societal norms. Seeking respite and escape, they must find somewhere to rest their head, implying not only physical rest but also emotional solace away from the pressures of the world. These lyrics convey a sense of longing and an urge to maintain the dream state as long as possible, highlighting the inherent comfort and refuge found in dreams.
