Trophallaxy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could touch the sky without any scare to fall away
Nights are not so cold
You're living in your dreams
But don't forget real life,
Because it ain't a nightmare
When a day the Charming Prince came to her and broke the spell.
Nights are not so cold
You're living in your dreams
But don't forget real life,
Because it ain't a nightmare
Nights are not so cold
You'd rather live for your dreams
Don't fear the real life
'Cause it floats through the Dreamcatcher
The opening lines of "Dreamcatcher" by Trophallaxy begin with a dream. The dreamer imagines they are high in the sky, free from fear, able to touch the sky. This sentiment suggests a desire to break free from the mundane and experience something magical. However, there is a reminder in the following lines that one should not forget about real life, as it is not a nightmare. This shift from dreaming to reality highlights the importance of balancing one's desires with practicality.
The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the importance of not forgetting about real life. One can live in their dreams but must also consider the consequences and obligations in the real world. The second verse offers a narrative to illustrate the point. There was a princess trapped in a tower, longing to be free. When the prince came and saved her, she was able to experience the dream of being free. However, the final refrains remind us that even in our dreams, we must not neglect our responsibilities in the waking world. The lyrics imply that while we can enjoy our dreams and fantasies, we must stay grounded and face reality.
