Dreamers
Violet Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kneel, our leader is gone
We, are hurt, bound in chains
We have left all, all hope from where it came
I, feel it in me
The time has come, for us to be free
I've waited, for so many years
Give it up, for dreamers, for dreamers, for dreamers
Take back, your voices and sing
Bring forth, your swords and begin to
Cut down, the barriers of shame
We will stand tall, so let the fight begin
Give it up, for dreamers, for dreamers, for dreamers
In the first verse of "Dreamers" by Violet Hill, the lyrics imply the current state of a society that has lost its hope and its leader. The people feel hurt and bound in chains, indicating a lack of freedom and perhaps feeling trapped or oppressed. The repetition of "all" in the line "We have left all, all hope from where it came" emphasizes the feeling of hopelessness and despair that the people are experiencing.
The second verse brings about a sense of determination and hope. The singer feels that the time has come for them to be free after waiting for so many years and praying for the end of misery. The chorus is a call to action for dreamers to rise up and make a change. The dreamers are encouraged to take back their voices, sing, and bring forth their swords to cut down the "barriers of shame." The people are finally standing tall as they prepare for a fight to reclaim their freedom and their hope.
Overall, "Dreamers" is a powerful call to action for people who feel beaten down and oppressed, encouraging them to rise up and fight for their rights and their beliefs. It is a song that speaks to the power of hope and determination in the face of despair and adversity.
