Dandelion Ridge
the shelters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in a trance, waiting
Eyes open wide, fading
Velvet glow swirling around
My unconcsious mind

Visions collide, a new story
Built from the gold in the quarry
Mysteries born on the page
Watch them unwind

Dandelion Ridge
Shining
I'm half asleep
Smiling
On Dandelion Ridge

A river flows into the sunshine
A wonderful life, all mine
Colorful stripes on the walls
All lead to this

Dandelion Ridge
Shining
I'm half asleep
Smiling
Dandelion Ridge
Shining
Up on the hill
Flying

Dandelion Ridge
Shining
I'm half asleep
Smiling
Dandelion Ridge




Flying
On Dandelion Ridge

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dandelion Ridge" by The Shelters are abstract, and the meaning is open to interpretation. The song begins with the singer lost in a trance, their eyes open wide as they fade away into the swirling velvet glow surrounding them. The singer experiences visions colliding, and a new story is built from the gold in the quarry. Mysteries are born on the page, and the singer watches them unwind.


The chorus comes in, and the singer sings about Dandelion Ridge shining. They're half asleep and smiling as they experience the joy of being on Dandelion Ridge. The second verse continues with the description of a river flowing into the sunshine, representing the wonderful life that's all theirs. Colorful stripes on the walls all lead to Dandelion Ridge.


One interpretation of the lyrics is that Dandelion Ridge represents a happy place, a mental escape from reality. The first verse describes the process of reaching that place: the singer gets lost in the swirling velvet glow, and mysteries are born on the page of their mind. The chorus represents the singer's happiness in this place, where they're half asleep and smiling. The second verse suggests that this happy place is the singer's own creation, and that it's accessible through their imagination.
