Rêverie
Mighty Tortuga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will it ever change?
The same color blue
And occasional shading of horizons
We've left the world behind us
Never looking to the ground
Following ourselves
No clue where our destination takes us
Who we are now
I was lost
Stuck in the middle of a reverie
I have no purpose and it gets to me
I succumb to the truth
When there's nothing left to do
You were lost
All of the demons that you ever felt
I'd fight for you but never for myself
Anything I could do
It was everything for you
Well I think too much I know
I need to let it go
But I'm still swaying to the sound
It's all a waste
And everything we left unsaid
Over again
Plays on repeat inside my head
You would say it's all in my head
But either way you don't want me back
I was found
Somewhere in a reverie
These daydreams get to me
Do you feel it too?
Like your whole life isn't true
You were lost
The demons that you felt
I'd take them for myself
To save you
There's nothing I wouldn't do
The lyrics of Mighty Tortuga's song "Reverie" delve into themes of introspection, longing, and self-discovery. The opening lines set an atmospheric tone, questioning whether the monotonous days will ever change. The reference to the "same color blue" and occasional shading of horizons suggests a sense of stagnation and a desire for something more. The following lines express a desire to leave the world behind, not looking back and following oneself, even though the destination may be unknown. Each step forward helps shape who they have become.
The chorus delves into a personal struggle, with the singer admitting to feeling lost and lacking purpose. The reverie they find themselves in becomes a state of limbo, where they succumb to the truth and face a feeling of helplessness. Despite this, they express their willingness to fight for someone else, even if they cannot do the same for themselves.
The second verse reflects the singer's tendency to overthink, acknowledging the need to let go and move on. They express frustration at the waste of unresolved communication and replaying these thoughts repeatedly in their mind. The lyrics reveal a longing for reconciliation, although acknowledging that the other person may not want them back.
The final lines emphasize the shift in perspective, where the singer declares that they were once lost in a reverie but have found themselves. This newfound clarity prompts them to question whether the other person feels the same, suggesting a shared experience of feeling disconnected from their own lives. The singer expresses their willingness to take on the demons for the other person, highlighting their selflessness and dedication.
Overall, "Reverie" explores themes of longing, self-reflection, and the desire for connection. It reveals the struggles of finding purpose and the internal battles faced while navigating personal relationships.

Atmospheric days
These days have a certain ambiance and mood
Will it ever change?
Will this situation ever be different?
The same color blue
The feeling of familiarity and repetitiveness
And occasional shading of horizons
Sometimes there are small variations or differences
We've left the world behind us
We have moved on from the rest of the world
Never looking to the ground
Not paying attention to what's beneath us
Following ourselves
We are guided by our own choices and desires
No clue where our destination takes us
We are uncertain about where we are going
But every step forward makes us
Each action we take shapes who we are
Who we are now
Our current identity and state of being
I was lost
I felt directionless and uncertain
Stuck in the middle of a reverie
Trapped in a daydream or fantasy
I have no purpose and it gets to me
I feel a lack of meaning in my life, and it affects me
I succumb to the truth
I accept the reality of my situation
When there's nothing left to do
When all other options are exhausted
You were lost
You also felt directionless and uncertain
All of the demons that you ever felt
All the inner struggles and challenges you've faced
I'd fight for you but never for myself
I would go to great lengths to protect and help you, but not for my own sake
Anything I could do
I was willing to do anything
It was everything for you
It meant everything to me to support and care for you
Well I think too much I know
I overanalyze and ruminate on things excessively
I need to let it go
I should release these thoughts and worries
But I'm still swaying to the sound
But I can't help but be influenced by the emotions and atmosphere around me
It's all a waste
It feels like everything is pointless or futile
And everything we left unsaid
All the things we never expressed or communicated
Over again
Repeatedly
Plays on repeat inside my head
Keeps replaying in my mind
You would say it's all in my head
You would dismiss or downplay my concerns and emotions
But either way you don't want me back
Regardless, you don't desire a reconciliation with me
I was found
I discovered something significant or meaningful
Somewhere in a reverie
Within a daydream or fantasy
These daydreams get to me
These fantasies and imagined scenarios affect me deeply
Do you feel it too?
Do you also experience this?
Like your whole life isn't true
As if everything you've known or believed in is false
The demons that you felt
The inner struggles and challenges you've faced
I'd take them for myself
I would bear your burdens and challenges on my own
To save you
In order to protect and rescue you
There's nothing I wouldn't do
I am willing to do anything to help and support you
