okay. this has to be one of my faves on fallen. here's my opinion on what the song means:
VERSE:
"I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story"
MEANING:
you're sleeping. dreaming. fantasizing. all of a better world. a better place. a better time. you all of a sudden wake up to your alarm clock screaming at you. it brings you back to the cruelty and coldness of
reality. a place you would rather not be.
CHORUS:
"In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me"
MEANING:
this is the description of your alternate reality. pretty paper flowers. the sweetness of candy clouds that keep you in your silent sleep. you can find yourself lying there for all eternity as you watch the beautiful purple sky fly over you.
VERSE 2:
"Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare - I built my own world to escape"
MEANING:
even though you love dreaming more than living in such a cruel world, you can still tell the difference between dreams and reality. but reality is a nightmare. and you know how to escape. the only way is to dream something better than the world you know.
(repeat chorus)
BRIDGE:
"Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light"
MEANING:
when you awaken, all your fears are real. right before your eyes. all you want is to leave the harshness of real life. you long for your dreams. you crave them. they are the only thing that keeps you from losing yourself.
