Dreaming
The Voice And The Snake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've sent the leeches
They'll taste your home and so will I
They've staked their claim on my desperation
So to hell with moderation
I need a fix
I need it
I need it
I need it
Now here they are to gorge on dreamers guilt
Grinning wide with their bellies so full
They're caressing our insides
They whisper that it's okay
Keep cool (keep cool)
It's okay (it's okay)
Worthless dreamers
They've sent the leeches
They'll taste your home and so will I
They'll whisper nothings
They'll bleed you dry and so will I
So will I
The Voice And The Snake's song "Dreaming" is a powerful commentary on the nature of addiction, loneliness, and the search for fulfillment. The song begins by addressing "worthless dreamers," a reference to those who yearn for something more in life yet are constantly crushed by the harsh reality of their circumstances. The metaphorical "leeches" represent the destructive forces in life that prey upon these dreamers and ultimately drain them of their energy and spirit. The lyrics suggest that the singer is just as susceptible to the leeches' influence as anyone else, expressing a sense of helplessness and desperation.
The refrain of "I need a fix, I need it" reinforces the idea that the singer is in the grip of addiction, seeking something to fill the void in their life. The leeches are depicted as feeding off of the dreamers' guilt, appearing to offer comfort while ultimately manipulating and bleeding them dry. The repeated use of "so will I" suggests that the singer acknowledges their own role in this cycle of destruction, yet feels powerless to break free.
In many ways, "Dreaming" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on external sources for happiness and fulfillment. The song's dark, brooding atmosphere and haunting melody lend a sense of urgency and despair to the lyrics.
