Imagination
Prairie Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right in the middle of my head,
I close my eyes and my home isn't home,
And my bed isn't really my bed.
I look inside and discover things,
That are sometimes strange and new,
And the most remarkable thoughts I think,
Here in the middle of imagination
Right in the middle of my mind,
I close my eyes and the night isn't dark
And the things that I lose, I find.
Time stands still and the night is clear,
And the wind is warm and fair,
And the nicest place is the middle of imagination
When ... I'm ... there ...
In Prairie Dawn’s song “Imagination,” she describes the power of imagination and the ability to escape reality. In the opening lines of the song, Prairie Dawn describes how she finds herself in the middle of imagination, right in the middle of her head. She closes her eyes and quickly realizes, that her home isn’t home anymore and her bed isn’t even her bed. This suggests, that Prairie Dawn is transported into another world, where her surroundings are no longer the same. She goes on to say that she discovers things that are strange and new when she looks inside her imagination, but these remarkable thoughts have a way of being true. This could be interpreted to mean that the things that Prairie Dawn imagines and creates for herself become real, in her own special way.
