What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Sitting here and dreaming, dreaming of salvation,
2
And salvation comes in love, at least that's what they say
3
I don't know if it was love or just imagination
4
But the siren of my dreams was made like me of clay
5
Now I look outside my window at the people covered pavements
6
Shores to the river of the traffic running through
7
And the gray scale of sky says there's rain in my future
8
And the only blue that I can see is what I feel for you
9
We say that we'll be friends when we know we never will be
10
Once we were as one, now we lie alone
11
Alchemy once blended base metals into golden
12
Now what once was gold is transmuted into stone
13
Into lead and stone
14
Sitting here and dreaming, dreaming of a sunrise
15
The sunrise that takes over and the moon that fades away
16
Daylight when it happens obscures the dream of darkness
17
And the river shifts and shivers in the tawdry light of day
18
I know I was a fool to take it all for granted
19
Never once imagined that I'd feel the way I do
20
And I know the past is gone and I wish I could forget it
21
But the beggar never rides his horse,
22
My dreams are still of you
23
(chorus)
24
I am free to make my choices, I will choose my own direction
25
I will walk along the pathway that others choose for me
26
I will make my own decisions with sufficient introspection
27
Now I introspect away until there's nothing left to see
28
I can say that we'll be friends like it's really what I wanted
29
Not to hold you in my arms, to lie once more with you
30
But as alchemists once tried to change base metals into golden
31
It never worked for them back then,
32
Why should it now come true?
33
(chorus)
