Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunshine can you spare some time
You’re living in the fast lane, I’m still on the sidewalk
Doing things I swore not to do, and now you’re lost too
In my reverie, I see you and me
Goodbye nods to her cold shoulder
I can’t fucking sleep, without you next to me
Take back what you said, tell me how I’m less
Tell me that I’m going nowhere
I’m a loaded gun, maybe you’re the one
That could help me pull the trigger
In my reverie, I see you and me
Goodbye nods to her cold shoulder
I can’t fucking sleep, without you next to me
Dwelling on the lies I told her
I’m insane, can’t stand the pain
Grips on me, maybe that’s just what I need
In my reverie, I see you and me
Goodbye nods to her cold shoulder
I can’t fucking sleep, without you next to me
Dwelling on the lies I told her
In my reverie, I see you and me
Goodbye nods to her cold shoulder
I can’t fucking sleep, without you next to me
Dwelling on the lies I told her
The lyrics to Tripping on Bricks's song "Reverie" depict a sense of longing and regret for a lost love. The first verse paints a picture of a dark and lonely place, where the singer is stuck in their own thoughts and unable to find solace. They plead for some sunshine, a metaphor for happiness or a brighter outlook, from someone who seems to live a fast-paced and adventurous life. The juxtaposition of living in the fast lane versus being on the sidewalk symbolizes the difference in their paths and desires. The singer admits to doing things they swore they wouldn't do, perhaps compromising their values to keep up with the other person, but ultimately leading to both of them feeling lost.
The chorus, "In my reverie, I see you and me, Goodbye nods to her cold shoulder," suggests that in the singer's daydreams or fantasies, they still hold onto the idea of a future with their lost love. However, the reality is that the other person has turned cold and distant, indicating that the relationship has come to an end. The line, "Dwelling on the lies I told her," reflects the guilt and remorse the singer feels for deceiving their former partner, realizing that their actions have contributed to the demise of the relationship.
The second verse continues with the theme of desperation and the desire for the other person to come back. The singer pleads for the other person to take back their hurtful words and acknowledge their worthlessness. They see themselves as a loaded gun, suggesting that they are emotionally unstable and in need of someone to push them over the edge. The bridge amplifies this feeling of desperation, claiming that the pain has driven the singer to the point of insanity, and they question if embracing the pain is what they truly need.
Overall, "Reverie" explores the complex emotions of longing, regret, and self-destructive tendencies in the aftermath of a failed relationship. It delves into the thoughts and fantasies of the singer, intertwined with feelings of guilt and a desire for reconciliation.
