This song has a "Reading Rainbow" feel and tells the story of a dream and its associated emotions. It's about sleep addiction and my preference for indulging in the fantasy of dreams instead of reality
lyrics
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
I had the craziest dream, where I was in a park eating ice cream
All of a sudden it melted and disappeared, but I still smelt it
The strong scent of it lingered, I felt a tickle and looked at my finger
Licking the drop that was left, I felt at peace, not distressed
Looking around me everyone was gone, except for this bird a whistling swan
It cocked its head looking my way and whispered, “You know, you’re free to stay”
“Thanks,” I replied “I like this place”. I knew I’d always remember his face
He transformed right before my eyes, into a dragon almighty and wise
As he leapt up to fly away, he told me he’d take me with him some day
I woke up breaking out in a sweat, wondering to myself what it meant
Waking up, and seeing pitch black, I know dreams are better, I wanna go back
To chase that dragon teasing me so, I’ll find out his secrets so I can know
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
I’m floating, I’m floating down the stream, in the spring, in a dream
Not gonna lie, my dreams at night can be better than life
I wonder which state of mind is real, you’re never aware at the time
I know my feelings are stronger, good or bad, the impacts are longer
I made things happen with my mind, I felt true terror, I changed time
My heart never pounded harder, only for dreams would I be a martyr
I have an addiction to the passions of my subconscious’s fiction
Death is romanticized, deep down I know that I fantasize
That when it’s over when my body’s gone, I know my soul will forever dream on
So yes, when I have the choice, back to sleep I go and rejoice
When I can be reunited with the shape shifting dragon I sighted
He can keep a promise, he’ll take me with him I know he’s honest
When I’m with him I believe the dragon gives me the hope that I need
Da da, da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da da da
