The Dream
The Hare and the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The band was weaving sounds
In great forms and patterns
I saw you there and you looked so fine
The crowd was whirling around
In good old fashion
We sailed into the seafoam green
The archipelago of dreams
The archipelago of dreams
Maybe you know what I mean
Maybe you've been where I've been
Maybe you've seen what I've seen
The archipelago of dreams
You took your bike and I took mine
We rode side by side
Almost crashed into each other
Our paths they crossed just for a little while
We never said goodbye
When we jumped into the water
We sailed into the seafoam green
The archipelago of dreams
We sailed into the seafoam green
The archipelago of dreams
Maybe you know what I mean
Maybe you've been where I've been
Maybe you've seen what I've seen
The archipelago of dreams
We sailed into the seafoam green
The archipelago of dreams
The Hare and the Moon's "The Dream" is a poignant ballad about eternal love and the power of memory. The opening lines of the song, "The velvet rose you are / Whenever I hear your wonderful voice / That colors me inside," paint a picture of a poetic and romantic relationship between two individuals. The singer is deeply enamored with their partner, to the point that their very being is compared to the soft and luxurious petals of a rose.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, contemplating mortality and the inevitability of death. However, they reassure their beloved that even in death, they will remain together in the nest of dreams that they share. The chorus repeats the refrain, "When I die, don't worry dear / Just close your eyes, and I'll be there / In your nest of dreams," emphasizing the song's central themes of love, memory, and immortality.
The final stanza references the power of memory, stating that even when the singer closes their eyes, their partner is still with them, "Like the velvet rose you are / Your wonderful voice." The song's ending is bittersweet, leaving the listener with the sense that while the singer's love may transcend death, it is not without its melancholy aspects. Overall, "The Dream" is a beautifully crafted song that explores the complexities of love and the eternal nature of memory.
