Our Last Night Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While they're falling like a safe, i'm saving like a safe
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the king
Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We can't turn around
We can't turn around
With a new set of arms the sky is in reach
Opportunity rises while we close our eyes
We close eyes, now we're living
Now we're living what was in the back of our minds
Now or never could be our last decision
So pull our dreams from our sleep
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the king
Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We can't turn around
We can't turn around
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
With a new set of arms the sky is in reach
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the king
Kiss the conscious, while i kill the -
Can't we find a safe place to put ourselves
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
We were hanging by a thread that wouldn't give in
Kiss the conscious, kill the king
Kiss the conscious, kill the -
We struck gold!
Where we wanted it to be
This is the fortune we found
In "Dreamcatcher," Our Last Night sings about chasing dreams and taking risks to achieve them. The wind is described as carrying dreams like feathers, which the singer catches and saves like a safe. The lyrics speak of killing the king, or conquering one's fears and doubts, while simultaneously kissing the conscious, or following one's instincts and intuition. The song emphasizes the importance of finding a safe place for oneself while still taking risks to pursue dreams, as well as the power of seizing opportunities and making decisions in the present moment.
The line "Opportunity rises while we close our eyes" suggests that opportunities are often missed when we are too afraid or hesitant to take risks. The song emphasizes the idea that living in the present moment and pursuing dreams with intention and determination can lead to great reward, likening the experience to striking gold. The repetition of the phrase "Kiss the conscious, while I kill the king" throughout the song emphasizes the dichotomy between fear and intuition, and the importance of finding balance between the two.
