Dreams Lyrics – AURORA

[Verse 1] begins with the singer expressing a sense of need and detachment from the physical world, feeling like she is floating away from Earth and burning bridges behind her. The concern of a mother represents a grounding influence, urging the speaker to return to reality. This sets the stage for the recurring theme of escape and the desire to find solace away from worldly concerns.

[Chorus] highlights the allure of dreams as a place where everything is quieter and emotions can disappear. This refrain underscores the theme of seeking refuge in dreams, where the chaos and noise of reality are muted, providing a temporary escape from emotional turmoil.

[Verse 2] portrays a transformation as night gives birth to something new, symbolized by "a hymn of the pearl." The speaker emphasizes the importance of honesty with oneself and others, rejecting deception. The abandonment of religion and the journey through darkness reflect a departure from traditional beliefs and a quest for personal truth. The aimlessness and exhaustion experienced during this journey highlight the challenges of finding one's path in life.

[Bridge] encourages a deep connection with one's own body and soul, suggesting that understanding and internalizing one's essence can lead to healing and growth. The imagery of arrows, willows, needles, and cockroaches symbolizes resilience and the ability to mend even after being broken. This section emphasizes the importance of resilience and adaptation in the face of life's challenges.

[Outro] reiterates the chorus, reinforcing the idea that dreams offer a sanctuary where the noise and stress of reality are diminished. This repetition emphasizes the recurring desire for peace and escape, concluding the song on a note of introspection and longing.
