We Deal In Dreams Lyrics
Don't you feel so very pointless in the feelin' of the rain and the violence of the sun?
I must confess that I feel graciously bigger than the rain and hotter than the sun
What do you do, what do you say when the blood you've spilled is of your loved one?
And the kremlins of the world fall all around you?
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts
Oh fearful crying people
The fool is by the river, watching but not swimming
It takes energy not to get used to it
and fall into this place
Where everything runs together and dies
This quiet kingdom, she is now
and forever will she be in silent celebration
We deal in dreams
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts
I must confess that I feel graciously bigger than the rain and hotter than the sun
What do you do, what do you say when the blood you've spilled is of your loved one?
And the kremlins of the world fall all around you?
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts
The fool is by the river, watching but not swimming
It takes energy not to get used to it
and fall into this place
Where everything runs together and dies
This quiet kingdom, she is now
and forever will she be in silent celebration
We deal in dreams
We deal in structures that grow cold in our hearts

They wrote this song (much more stripped down version) in the early nineties. It didn't make it on to one of the earlier albums, so 10 years later they dusted it off and remixed it. Sounds great. It might be about how social structures force us into particular ways of acting and living that may or may not be beneficial to us.
i think its about how reality bites, and the way to solve it is to resolve in dreams.
I think ElKarmaScaramouche is partly correct, but knowing the band's exploration of Krishnamurti philosophy (and indeed my own) I interpret it as an examination of how daily life wears us down and we take the things around us for granted. The message seems to be that we should instead be looking at the world around us in a different light and accepting its beauty and what it can offer us with questioning it.
first heard this on a car trip with my friends back to melb in early '05 brilliant song :)
