| Talking Heads – Dream Operator Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
So, just a few notes: a dream, obviously represents life, but it’s revealed that you control your life, being the dream operator, and this is emphasized. It’s almost like, as a message to himself, or his past self, he’s trying to get a message through, saying: “do you know who you are? YOU’RE the dream operator!” It can also be noted that, if this is a message to himself, any reference to someone else has to be interpreted as himself as well. It also emphasizes the idea of looking back on a life, saying: “and every dream (life) tells it all, and this is your (my) story.” In conclusion, I think with later parts, this may actually be himself looking back on his life near death (this is a bit of a stretch, but seems appropriate, given later parts of the song), and talking to aspects of himself, though this last part is necessary, and is the least backed-up. |
