2) A trio of young 20-somethings trying their hardest to stay authentic. All former high school buddies, the band consists of singer/guitarist Jordan Asher, bassist/lead guitarist David Barnard, and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Jeff Rosenthal. Having played in several local South Florida bands previously, the band finds themselves realizing more than ever that the chemistry present in the current lineup is undeniably the most powerful yet.
In late 2007 the band’s final lineup came together, as did their sound. Having gone through a discouraging studio recording experience, the band decided to self-record their first full-length LP entitled “Dead In the Sun”. It’s raw, it’s bluesy, it’s experimental - it is the band’s free-flowing creativity laid down in a couple of living rooms using barely professional recording equipment/programs. Yet Stonefox use what they have to its fullest potential and the outcome is a brand of brilliantly edgy music all their own, which should turn some heads in the very near future...
Dreamstate
StoneFox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we make war with old friends
And you can't hold my heart close enough
To your chest
Your eyes are dark
Your eyes are dark
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
We're caught up in a dreamstate
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
Something in the way
We're caught up in a dreamstate
I took a train to the west
To get away catch my breath
And you can't hold my heart close enough
To your chest
Your eyes are dark
Your eyes are dark
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
Something in the way
We're caught up in a dreamstate
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
Something in the way
We're caught up in a dreamstate
We're caught up in a dreamstate
We're caught up in a dreamstate
I know you're hurting just hold on
Hold on this moment will pass
I know you're hurting just hold on
Hold on this moment will pass
I know you're hurting just hold on
Hold on this moment will pass
I know you're hurting just hold on
Hold on this moment will pass
We're caught up in a dreamstate
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
Something in the way
We're caught up in a dreamstate
Something in the way that you walk and you talk and
Something in the way
We're caught up in a dreamstate
We're caught up in a dreamstate
The lyrics of StoneFox's song "Dreamstate" suggest being lost in a dreamlike state caused by a relationship. The systems symbolize the world beyond the individual, which seems to be left behind when caught up in a dreamstate. The phrase "make war with old friends" might imply that something has gone wrong in the relationship, estranging the person from those who once were their close associates. The first stanza talks about someone trying to hold onto the singer's heart but falling short, and the person's eyes being dark. The second stanza indicates a change of scenery, where the singer goes west, possibly a reference to the USA, where the term west is commonly associated with access to a new start and fresh perspective.
The chorus of "Something in the way that you walk and you talk and/ Something in the way/ We're caught up in a dreamstate" suggests the singer is entranced by the person who has got them lost in a dreamlike state. However, it is unclear if they are mesmerized blissfully or if the repetition of the phrase suggests they are stuck in this dream state and can't escape it. The ending lyrics "I know you're hurting just hold on/ Hold on this moment will pass/ We're caught up in a dreamstate" suggests that the person causing the dreamstate is, in fact, hurting, but the singer urges them to hold on as this feeling will pass.
