A portion of Poe's poem "A Dream Within a Dream"
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
When awake I feel like I am only waiting for the next time to sleep and to dream. I place great worth on my dreams. Sometimes I wake up with such a satisfied feeling after having a particularly pleasing dream or even disturbing. Dreams are where my mind ranges free. I feel that when people reveal their dreams to me they reveal their personality. There are some people I know who only tell me boring dreams. They are obviously very well cemented into the present. I like to float everywhere.

I think maybe he stared into the sun for a few seconds too long (which is possibly where the title of the song comes from) but instead of going blind the sun created misfunction so he can no longer time his mouth movements with his thoughts thus creating the effect we see in the music video as if we are watching a foreign voice-over :)
ReplyDeleteMarsy, I completely agree.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe that is the artistic point: looking like a dub.
