Dreams Don't Come Easy
Zornik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something caught my eye
We just turn back and run
We didn't realise how lovely it was
And we dig our own graves..
But the sand crawles back
In my eyes and my mind, there's a black hole..

Something caught my eye
We just turn back and run
We didn't realise how lovely it was
And we dig our own graves..




But the sand crawles back
In my eyes and my mind, there's a black hole..

Overall Meaning

Zornik's song Dreams Don't Come Easy is a reflective piece that talks about regrets and missed opportunities. The opening line, "Something caught my eye, we just turn back and run" suggests a situation where the singer and someone else were at a point where a decision had to be made. However, they quickly turned back and ran, possibly out of fear or uncertainty. In hindsight, the singer realizes how lovely that "something" was, and the opportunity was lost.


The line, "and we dig our own graves" is a metaphor for the decisions that we make and how those decisions can have long-term repercussions. The singer acknowledges that the choices they made led to the current situation where they feel trapped, symbolized by the black hole in their mind and eyes. The sand that crawls back could represent a sense of being buried in their mistakes or regrets.


Overall, the song is a reminder that dreams and opportunities don't come easy, and that we should cherish and grab them when presented with them instead of turning back and regretting later.


Line by Line Meaning

Something caught my eye
I noticed something that stood out


We just turn back and run
Instead of facing it, we run away


We didn't realise how lovely it was
We didn't appreciate the beauty and value of what we had


And we dig our own graves..
Our actions are leading us to our own downfall


But the sand crawles back
Even if we try to bury our mistakes, they eventually resurface


In my eyes and my mind, there's a black hole..
I feel a sense of emptiness and despair
