Orient Dream
Overdream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secret map in my heart, deep flow stirring my blood
Eden withdrawn, that's how the old captain told
Lust is burning my veins, sigh for treasure and fame
Search for the land of lost tales
Over the edge of our world
Where the sun rises red from the waves
Tea-flavoured moon, ivory palace, jade brooks
Lotus gardens at night, silent opiate sky
China doll loves magical warrior of shade
I was there in a dream, melted into a myth
The lyrics to Orient Dream by Overdream are filled with themes of adventure, desire for treasure and fame, and a quest for the mythical land of lost tales. The opening stanza talks about the singer setting sail in the direction of the east, with a secret map in his heart, longing for adventure and excitement. This is followed by a reference to Eden being withdrawn, as mentioned by an old captain, most likely referring to the impossibility of returning to paradise. The singer's lust for treasure and fame is also mentioned in these lines. The chorus talks about the search for the land of lost tales, which lies beyond the edge of the known world, guarded by a dragon, and where the sun rises red from the waves.
The second stanza shifts focus to describing the magical and dreamlike world that the singer is searching for. The tea-flavored moon, ivory palace, and jade brooks evoke imagery of ancient China while the lotus gardens at night and silent opiate sky add to the dreamlike quality of the setting. The verse also mentions a romantic liaison between a china doll and a magical warrior of shade, adding to the sense of magic and wonder. The final line of the song "I was there in a dream, melted into a myth" gives the sense that what the singer is searching for is not a tangible place, but a metaphorical one that only exists in his dreams and imagination.
