Lucid Dream
Sunnata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What′s below and what's above?
Doubt heralds: soon it will be all gone
So enter the lucid dream
Imagine you′re in between
Journey's about to begin: so long
Escape through hole in the skye
Hidden from all seeing eye
No one will justify your thoughts
Infinite wonders await
For those who give, not who take
Buried in altered state of mind
Fly into inner space
Close your eyes
Consciousness set ablaze
Rise and shine
Watch aeons passing by
Close your eyes
(Fly away, fly away)
Fly beyond place and time
Rise and shine
The lyrics of Sunnata's song Lucid Dream are quite poetic and mysterious. It appears to be about escaping from doubts and the limitations of reality into an alternate state of mind where infinite possibilities await. It starts off with a whisper in a sacred grove, questioning what's below and above, and the looming doubt that everything will soon disappear. But the solution to this doubt lies in entering the lucid dream, that in-between state where the journey is set to begin.
The idea of escaping through a hidden hole in the sky is intriguing and suggests that the escape is not just figurative but something quite literal. No one will justify your thoughts because this is a personal journey that only you can undertake. The wonders that await are not for those who take but for those who give of themselves fully. This means that surrendering to the experience is key to unlocking its potential.
The lyrics then urge the listener to fly into inner space and close their eyes. This is a call to go beyond the physical limitations of the body and enter a realm where consciousness is set ablaze. The repetition of the phrase 'rise and shine' indicates that this is not just about escaping, but about emerging into a greater version of the self. The song ends on a final note of flying beyond place and time, suggesting that the journey has no limits or boundaries.
