The Dreamer and the Sleeper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My illogical fate
Let me out of my skin
Go on spinning the wheel
Whatever you feel, fly away
Whatever you feel, fly away
Whatever you feel, fly away
I was born in a thrill
Go on spreading my wings
Begging out for a dream
Whatever you feel, I don't care
Whatever you feel, I don't care
Whatever you feel, I don't care
In the first verse, the lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction and detachment from oneself. The singer describes their birth as a mistake and refers to their fate as illogical, hinting at a perceived lack of purpose or belonging. This feeling of being misplaced is further emphasized when they express a desire to break free from their own skin. The line "Go on spinning the wheel" suggests a willingness to embrace change and uncertainty, allowing life to take them in any direction.
Moving into the chorus, the lyrics take on a more hopeful and liberating tone. The singer encourages themselves, and perhaps others, to let go of their emotions and follow their instincts. The repetition of "Whatever you feel, fly away" reinforces a sense of freedom and encourages individuals to pursue their desires without hesitation or inhibition.
In the second verse, the focus shifts to the singer's birth in a thrill, indicating a sense of excitement and anticipation. They describe this thrill as euphonious, suggesting a harmonious and blissful experience. The line "Go on spreading my wings" symbolizes a readiness to explore and embrace new opportunities, while also expressing a longing for a dream or aspiration.
The chorus is reiterated once again, but this time with a slightly altered perspective. The singer declares that they don't care about the feelings and opinions of others. This may indicate a defiance against societal limitations and expectations, as well as a refusal to be confined or influenced by external pressures. It conveys a sense of self-confidence and determination to pursue their own path, regardless of what others might think or feel.
Overall, the lyrics of "Amazing" explore themes of self-discovery, liberation, and individuality. They encourage listeners to embrace their desires, dreams, and emotions, urging them to break free from societal norms and expectations. The song conveys a message of empowerment and serves as a reminder to live authentically, unencumbered by the judgments and expectations of others.
Line by Line Meaning
I was born by mistake
I entered this world unintentionally
My illogical fate
My destiny lacks reason or sense
Let me out of my skin
Free me from the constraints of my existence
Go on spinning the wheel
Continue the unpredictable course of life
Whatever you feel, fly away
Escape from the emotions that bind you and soar freely
I was born in a thrill
I entered the world amidst excitement and anticipation
The euphonious thrill
The delightful and harmonious excitement
Go on spreading my wings
Continue to expand my possibilities and pursue my dreams
Begging out for a dream
Desperately yearning for a meaningful aspiration
Whatever you feel, I don't care
I am indifferent to your emotions and opinions
