Overdream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say, are you there, watching me as I sleep?
Say, are you there, guarding silence and peace?
[Angel:]
I am here, watching you, keeping you safe
I will stay all the way as the years fade
I saw a world where the sun never set
People were free and they smiled and they cared
[Angel:]
Come with me, take my hand, follow my steps
Now a dream - make it real, show that you dare
Fly on the wings of your mind, may you reach for the sky
Dream and believe, never leave off your wish, little child
[Child:]
Will you be there when the shades gather round?
Will you be there when they freeze in my heart?
[Angel:]
I'll be there by your side, holding you warm
I'll be there, humming this tune in your soul
[Child:]
I know a world, though it's far from the Earth
How can I share it's beauty with others?
[Angel:]
Sing and play, trust in the music you feel
Tell them all, that's the way to make it real
Fly on the wings of your mind, may you reach for the sky
Dream and believe, never leave off your wish, little child
The lyrics of Overdream's song "Guarding Eye" depict a conversation between a child and an angel who is watching over them as they sleep. The child wonders if the angel is really there and the angel confirms that they are not only present but also dedicated to keeping the child safe. The child shares a vision of a perfect world where people are happy and free, and the angel encourages the child to make that dream a reality by daring to believe in themselves and their abilities. The angel offers to be there for the child during the difficult times when everything seems dark and unfriendly, and assures them that they will always have someone to count on. The child then expresses a desire to share the beauty of another world they know, and the angel advises them to use music to convey the message of hope and healing to the world.
The song is a beautiful reflection of the relationship between a guardian angel and a child who needs their protection and guidance. It speaks to the importance of dreaming and believing in oneself, even in the face of adversity, and offers a reminder that there is always someone there to support us, even when we cannot see them. The imagery of flying on the wings of the mind and reaching for the sky is particularly powerful, painting a picture of a limitless, boundless universe where anything is possible if only we are brave enough to imagine it.
