Utopia
Me & My Toothbrush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's go!

Metropole dreams too high
But dystopia is a light sleeper
They scream but don't move
Feeding desires with burning fire

Burn them
And the ashes burn again
Burn them
To set their minds free

The city stays awake at night
'Cause grief comes in dreams
Like a devastating storm
Utopia turns to dust

This dream is black
This dream is black
Far into the red horizon
This dream is black

Utopia leads to dystopia
Utopia leads to dystopia
Utopia leads to dystopia
Utopia leads to dystopia

A surreal scene, in a perfect society?
Just a mere illusion!
Cause heaven for you is hell for me

Violence is a right!
Anger is bliss!
Sacrifice yourself to achieve the ideal

The city stays awake at night
'Cause grief comes in dreams
Like a devastating storm
Utopia turns to dust

This dream is black
This dream is black
Far into the red horizon
This dream is black

Breathe utopia!
And bleed dystopia!
Breathe utopia!
And bleed dystopia!

Breathe... Utopia
Bleed... Dystopia




Breathe... Utopia
Bleed... Dystopia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Utopia" by Me & My Toothbrush delve into the idea of the contrast between the pursuit of an ideal society, or utopia, and the dystopian reality that often emerges from it. The song suggests that having high dreams and ideals can be dangerous because when those dreams are shattered, they can lead to despair and disappointment. The opening lines "Metropole dreams too high, but dystopia is a light sleeper" signify the lofty aspirations of a metropolitan society, yet also highlight the vulnerability that exists within that idealized vision.


The lyrics go on to describe a city that stays awake at night due to the presence of grief in dreams. This grief is compared to a devastating storm that turns the perceived utopia into dust. This metaphor emphasizes the fragility of an ideal society and how easily it can crumble in the face of hardship and suffering.


The song also touches on the idea that utopia can be subjective, as what may be heaven for one person can be hell for another. This notion challenges the notion of a universal utopia and highlights the inherent conflicts and contradictions that arise when trying to create an ideal society.


Overall, "Utopia" by Me & My Toothbrush explores the complexities and dangers of pursuing utopian ideals, and the consequences that can arise when those dreams collide with the harsh realities of the world.
