Rêverie
Luminous Orange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wonder if you can make all the way to this queer place
Wondering how long while to these all fall apart?
Like the spreading cloud you overcasted my whole world
Beyond the thick rain there glimpses your wax and wane

Ever since I met your eyes I'm confined in your world
Even though in the wind even when in the crowds
Reverie of you haunts

Wonder if you can make all the way to this queer place
Wondering how long while to these all fall apart?
Like the spreading cloud you overcasted my whole world
Beyond the thick there glimpses your wax and wane

Ever since I met your eyes I'm confined in your world
Even though in the wind even when in the crowds
Reverie of you haunts

Couldn't avert your gaze that day it
Pushed me into this queerest state of mind aren't you aware

Wonder if you can make all the way to this queer place
Wondering how long while to these all fall apart?
Like the summer rains hard not feel the sudden burst
Through the thick drapes come shafts of your waning lights

Ever since I met your eyes I'm confined in your world




Even though in the wind even when in the crowds
Reverie of you haunts

Overall Meaning

The song “Reverie” by Luminous Orange is a beautiful and haunting piece of music that captures the essence of being deeply in love and being trapped in one’s own world. The song is driven by powerful imagery, and its lyrics reveal a sense of longing and vulnerability. The singer wonders if her beloved can make it all the way to this queer place, and she is left wondering how long before it all falls apart.


The metaphor of the spreading cloud that overcasts her whole world is a potent one, and it captures the sense of suffocation and claustrophobia that the singer feels while being trapped in her lover’s world. Despite being confined to this world, the singer finds herself haunted by the reverie of her beloved. Even in the midst of people and crowds, she cannot shake off the hold that her lover has on her.


The second verse is equally powerful, as the singer talks about how she was pushed into this queerest state of mind by a gaze that she could not avert. The sudden burst of summer rains, and the drapes that come allowing shafts of light to enter through the thickness is a beautiful imagery to describe the light and dark of love. The song ends with the haunting refrain of reverie of you haunts lingering in the listener's mind.

Amidst the heavy rain, still able to see the listener's unpredictability


Ever since I met your eyes I'm confined in your world
Being trapped in the listener's world since first making eye contact


Even though in the wind even when in the crowds
Even in the midst of chaos, thoughts of the listener persist

Couldn't avert your gaze that day it
Unable to turn away from the listener's stare

Constantly haunted by thoughts of the listener
