Halloween
Sóley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight the boys dress up like dreamers the long way to their war
The girls dress up like nightmares with their hunter
Shadows open up their eyes
they start to move, oh, they have to eat
The kids are crawling down the street
Dreamers, nightmares, soon they will meet
Tonight the boys dress up like dreamers
Preparing the long way to their show
Dead girls are hiding in their ghost ships
Silently whistling us all
Laughing nightmares float away
And the ghost ship sails away from this dream
Haunted dreamers scared and grey
They close their eyes, but shadows they meet
Tell me how can I wake up again?
Tell me how can I wake up again?




Tell me how can I wake up again?
Tell me how can I wake up again?

Tonight the boys dress up like dreamers
Preparing their long way to the war
The girls dress up like nightmares
Will they hunt them?
Shadows open up their eyes
They start to move, oh, they have to eat
The kids are crawling down the street
Dreamers, nightmares, soon they will meet
Tonight the boys dress up like dreamers
Preparing their long way to the shore
Dead girls are hiding in the old ghost ship
Silently whistling a song
Laughing nightmares float away
And the ghost ship sails away from this dream
Haunted dreamers scared and grey
They close their eyes, but shadows they meet
Tell me how can I wake up again?
Tell me how can I wake up again?
Tell me how can I wake up again?
Tell me how can I wake up again?

I came across Soley accidentally about a year ago, after watching KEXP (love my grunge!), and saw her performing "I'll Drown" and "Haloween" live. I loved her use of loop pedals and she seemed really cute (!) and it sounded like nothing I'd ever heard before, so instantly downloaded "Theatre Island" and "We Sink" and instantly fell in love! "Ask The Deep" is definately a must have album. Well done Soles! XD xx

@soleywolfgangsdottir

she really IS sweet!
