Dreamer
theAngelcy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O dreamer dreamer fold your wings the rain is coming
Illusion feeds your lucid dreams the rain is coming
It's time to fade to simple things all hail the emptiness
So dreamer dreamer fold your wings it's time to feel blessed

And when I howl
"Honey I love you don't you know I love you I need you"
O dreamer dreamer fold your wings the rain is coming
It's time to shed this naked skin the rain is coming
Illusion feeds your lucid dreams all hail the emptiness
So dreamer dreamer fold your wings it's time to feel blessed

And when I howl
"Honey I love you don't you know I love you? I need you"
And then I howl "honey I love you don't you know I love you? I don't know what am I supposed to do"

I am not here no more I am now just a shadow of your grace
You have become the face of everything I wish I had of everything I wanna have




My childhood dreams they have taken me to this dead end at you doorstep
And I've got nowhere else to go and nothing else to do ever since I laid eyes on you

Overall Meaning

TheAngelcy's song "Dreamer" speaks to the idea of letting go of illusions and returning to simplicity. The opening lines, "O dreamer dreamer fold your wings the rain is coming / Illusion feeds your lucid dreams the rain is coming," indicate that it is time to abandon the fanciful dreams that are fuelled by illusion and embrace the reality of the present moment. It is time to return to simplicity, to "all hail the emptiness," and be grateful for the blessings of life. The second verse repeats these ideas, with the added emphasis on shedding the "naked skin" of the illusory dreams.


The refrain of the song, "And when I howl / 'Honey I love you don't you know I love you? I need you'" indicates the presence of longing and desire. Despite the need for simplicity and reality, the singer still yearns for something more. The final verse brings this longing into sharper focus, with the lines "You have become the face of everything I wish I had of everything I wanna have / My childhood dreams they have taken me to this dead end at your doorstep / And I've got nowhere else to go and nothing else to do ever since I laid eyes on you." Here, the singer reveals that this desire is directed towards a specific person, who has become the embodiment of all their hopes and dreams. However, this longing has led them to a dead end, and they are left with nothing but the memory of their childhood dreams.


Overall, "Dreamer" is a complex and introspective song that explores themes of illusion, simplicity, and desire.
