Dragon Tree
Naomi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
French friends and a run and a kiss
Will keep you up until dawn
Cool down not down on the ground
Hot shots been getting around
You got to be getting it on
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Some things, the smaller the worse
Best take this fall in reverse
Why don't you give me a call?
I'll post this letter to you
Got nothing better to do
When did this world get so small?
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Now the clowns and the tourists have gone for good
All the sounds, all the promise misunderstood
'cause when the dogs and the babies climb the dragon tree
You know the clowns and the tourists will disagree
You sip a good conversation like some vintage wine
Be the pride of the nation in the grand design
They announce that the cure is the only track
And so the clowns and the tourists sure won't be back
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
The first verse of "Dragon Tree" paints a vivid yet surreal image of a night of revelry and hedonism. The singer mentions French friends, running, and kissing - all hallmarks of a good time - but cautions not to cool down on the ground because "hot shots [have] been getting around." This line can be interpreted as a warning against settling for mediocrity or getting too comfortable, always remaining on the move and chasing after one's passions. The chorus repeats the phrase "everybody knows you're playing for keeps," emphasizing that the stakes are high and success isn't guaranteed. The mountain mentioned in the lyrics symbolizes the challenges and obstacles that must be overcome to reach one's goals. The song seems to urge the listener to keep pushing forward no matter what.

Life goes on, don't let setbacks get you down
Some things, the smaller the worse
Little things can be more problematic than big things
Best take this fall in reverse
Avoid making mistakes, take things slow
Why don't you give me a call?
I'm here for you, reach out if you need anything
I'll post this letter to you
I'll send you a message to stay in touch
Got nothing better to do
I have time to spare, let's connect
When did this world get so small?
It feels like the world is shrinking, not as big as it used to be
Now the clowns and the tourists have gone for good
The fun is over, the people who were just there for entertainment are gone
All the sounds, all the promise misunderstood
Everything that seemed promising turned out to be confusing and unclear
'cause when the dogs and the babies climb the dragon tree
In the end, the ones who take risks and try new things are the ones who succeed
You know the clowns and the tourists will disagree
Those who were just looking for entertainment won't understand
You sip a good conversation like some vintage wine
You enjoy good conversation and appreciate it like fine wine
Be the pride of the nation in the grand design
Be part of something bigger, something that makes you proud to contribute
They announce that the cure is the only track
There is only one solution, no other options are being considered
And so the clowns and the tourists sure won't be back
Those who were only there for entertainment won't stick around
