Reverie
T-Mass/First State feat. Sarah Howells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the stage
I see you
In the shadows, staring into space
I'm alone, peddling poems
And the stage lights break across your face

Reverie, reverie you are all I need
Suddenly suddenly only silence sounds inside
Could it be could it be all that I've ever wanted
To be free, to be free with you standing by my side

In the dark
I feel you,
Move in circles, circling the space
When you speak




You flicker your eyelids
And your green eyes glance over my face

Line by Line Meaning

From the stage
As I stand on the stage


I see you
I notice you


In the shadows, staring into space
You are standing in the shadows, lost in your own thoughts


I'm alone, peddling poems
I am by myself, reciting poetry


And the stage lights break across your face
The stage lights shine on your face


Reverie, reverie you are all I need
Daydreams, daydreams, you are my only requirement


Suddenly suddenly only silence sounds inside
All I hear is complete and sudden silence


Could it be could it be all that I've ever wanted
I wonder if this is everything I have ever desired


To be free, to be free with you standing by my side
To feel liberated, and to have you by my side during this feeling


In the dark
As the room is dark


I feel you
I sense your presence


Move in circles, circling the space
You move in circles, circling the room


When you speak
As you talk


You flicker your eyelids
Your eyelids flicker


And your green eyes glance over my face
Your green eyes look over my face
