Exit Calypsan (Only In My Dreams) Lyrics
This white blows so softly.
The movement still is in my mind.
This flag flown in Reedsport
Will start to catch beneath the wind.
Catch beneath the wind.
It's only in your dreams. It's only in your dreams.
So exit the fall, and now it's over.
It's only in your dreams.
This flight comes, it's nameless.
The dark is calling out my name.
Escape with no traces.
The movement burns inside my veins.
Burns inside my veins.
By now this tide is here.
I thought I made it clear.
This is the threat.
This is the fall.
And now its over.
(Psalm 73:20)
The movement still is in my mind.
This flag flown in Reedsport
Will start to catch beneath the wind.
Catch beneath the wind.
So exit the fall, and now it's over.
It's only in your dreams.
The dark is calling out my name.
Escape with no traces.
The movement burns inside my veins.
Burns inside my veins.
I thought I made it clear.
This is the threat.
This is the fall.

If you read the rest of Psalm 73 it pretty much makes sense. This song talks about how people go through life living for themselves, they think that they have it good. But in the end, they will realize that the only thing that matters is loving God. All the other distractions and pleasures don't matter. They are like dreams. So it's saying leave your life of sin, and come to Jesus. Exit the fall.
I totally agree with that interpretation of the song....I mean what else could it be....thanks for your insight and i thank God for it to.

I kind of get it. This song is about the dreams that we have. They may be bad "the dark is calling out my name" but when we wake up, we know that it is fake, and only God is real.
Psalm 73:20
As a dream when one awakes, so when you arise, O Lord, you will despise them as fantasies.
yeah I agree
i heart the town of reedsport :-)
I was at a Falling Up concert once when Jesse went into a little bit of detail about it. He said that a friend of his went into a woods, and three days later. Before he began singing he said something about diseases.
To me, this song is saying that it's time. It's time to let go of the dreams of being strong, and not needing anyone. That we need God.
I see it as the following:
the song happens during/close to a person's death bed
the first verse is experiencing the holy spirit the second verse is experiencing sin and the 'devil's call' the chorus is human rejection/denial to both the bridge is God stating that he made His will (verse 1) clear
the song does not let us know if the person came back to God or not, but at the end they die "and now it's over"
