Dreaming
Smallpools Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the place that we belong together, together
Like we were something more
And it felt like maybe we could last forever, forever
But you led them to our hideout
Forced their way inside now
They want us to surrender, us to surrender

But I could go all night
Right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message,
I'll send a message saying
Give it up give it up

We've got no place to go
Caught up in a rodeo
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
Oh oh oh, Ah ah ah
Please God tell me we're dreaming

Wait for the dust to settle down around us, Around us
And stick to what we know
I think the air is finally safe to breathe again, To breathe again
The world is in your palm now
So take a breath and calm down
Cause you have been selected
You've been selected

A few will ever find out
and If you don't see why
Well At least you got your nest egg
You've got your nest egg
So live it up, Live it up

We've got no place to go
Caught up in a rodeo
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
Oh oh oh, Ah ah ah
Please God tell me we're dreaming
Oh oh oh, Ah ah ah
Please God tell me we're dreaming

Well then give it up give it up

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

But you led them to our hideout
Forced their way inside now
They want us to surrender, us to surrender

But I could go all night
right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message,
I'll send a message saying
Give it up give it up

We've got no place to go
Caught up in a rodeo
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
We've got no where to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no please god tell me we're dreaming
Oh oh oh, Ah ah ah
Please God tell me we're dreaming




Oh oh oh, Ah ah ah
Please God tell me we're dreaming

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreaming" by Smallpools describes a couple who found a place where they belong forever but their hideaway is discovered by outsiders who force them to surrender. Even though they have no place to go, the couple decides to stay and fight. They send a message that they will not give up without a fight. They hope they are just dreaming and wait for the dust to settle down around them. They are finally safe to breathe again and live the life they always wanted.


The lyrics express the desire to maintain a life we find comfortable and familiar. We fear those who make us leave our comfort zones, and we may question whether it's worth venturing into the unknown. The lines "We've got no place to go, caught up in a rodeo" express the idea that life can be like a rodeo, where we are thrown around and don't know where we'll end up. But even though we don't have the answers, we need to keep going.

LYRICS

I see the place that we've been locked together, together
Like we were something more
And it felt like maybe we could last forever, forever

But you led them to our hideout
Forced their way inside now
They want us to surrender, us to surrender
But I could go all night right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message
I'll send a message
We'll say, "Give it up, give it up"

We've got no place to go caught up in a rodeo
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run, they've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming

Oh, ah
Please, god, tell me we're dreaming

Wait for the dust to settle down around us, around us
Then stick to what we know.
I think the air is finally safe to breathe again, to breathe again

The world is in your palm now
So take a breath and calm down
'Cause you have been selected, you've been selected
A few will ever find out
And if you don't see why, well
At least you got your nest egg, you've got your nest egg
So live it up, live it up

We've got no place to go caught up in a rodeo
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run, they've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming

Oh, ah
Please, god, tell me we're dreaming
Oh, ah
Please, god, tell me we're dreaming

Well, then give it up, give it up
Ohohohohohohoh
Ohohohohohohohoh
Ohohohohohohoh

But you led them to our hideout
Forced their way inside now
They want us to surrender, us to surrender
But I could go all night right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message
I'll send a message
We'll say, "Give it up, give it up"

We've got no place to go caught up in a rodeo
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run, they've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please, god, tell me we're dreaming

Oh, ah
Please, god, tell me we're dreaming
Oh, ah

Everybody is talking about fifa 14... I got a story to share.
Yes fifa brought me here. Me and my buddy Drew used to run an earlier fifa non stop. He and I both have CHD, a heart disease varying from person to person. Drew died in 2012 on a soccer field because he knew he wasn't allowed to go too hard but he didn't want to give up soccer. He taught me a valuable lesson. We really are here for a good time, not a long time. Fifa hasn't been the se without you, brother.

@superjoe123100

Peace and love brother❤️, this game helped me get through days which I never thought I'd make it. Your buddy drew is in heaven having the time of his life playing fifa 21.

@bazookaaxel

Thank you for sharing, stranger. I hope you are feeling well even without Drew.

@oviejoel5441

RIP Drew. And I hope you feel okay Ben ❤️
