Chain
School of 7 bells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That jangles in the day and recalls a samey drone
Day has drawn out from the night
What's been lacking in its wage
Reviving eyes that choked the light
With no extraction for the page
I can not seem to remember my dreams lately
If the moon defines the night and illuminates
Without direction
Could the obscured that steered my life illuminate its
Intervention?
I fought so long for an explanation
Planting
The seeds that took root in my mind
Explaining
Into dust what was a lucid situation
And I can not seem to remember my dreams lately
In the song "Chain" by School of Seven Bells, the singer describes how her dreams are like a chain of monochromatic rooms that she burrows into while she sleeps. These dreams are repetitive and don't provide any new insights or experiences. She feels like she is stuck in a rut and is lacking something in her life. However, when she wakes up in the day, she sees the world in a different light and her eyes are opened. This contrast between her dreams and reality is highlighted by the use of words such as "samey drone" and "jangles" for her dreams, and "reviving" and "choked the light" for reality.
Later in the song, the singer wonders if the obscured things in her life that have steered her path could be illuminated by the moon. This could be interpreted as her seeking clarity or understanding about the events in her life. She then mentions how she fought for an explanation, but now realizes that what was once clear has turned into dust. This could be a reference to how the singer has lost her grasp on reality or how things have changed beyond recognition. The final line of the song, "I can not seem to remember my dreams lately," echoes the opening line and suggests that the singer is once again trapped in her monochromatic dream world.
