Red Dragon Wishes Lyrics
All the possibilities
Things you can pick up and look beneath
Just watch your step,
Don’t fall between the blanks in your memory
There’s an anchor sinking in the sound of a sense of lack that follows you around
Years went by but I know it don’t matter what you think of me
I’m awake; don’t let me go back to sleep
Like a fugitive who just quit running
Who found out there’s no where to escape
Some mistakes can’t be undone
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse
There’s some demons waiting down south
Some kind of confederate ghost
It holds me close shows me the way to go
Until I’m sure I’m lost
I built a workshop to find myself
Where I can dig in the corners climbing spider webs
It’s a polaroid cemetery of every look you’ve ever given me
I’m awake; don’t let me go back to sleep
Like a fugitive who just quit running
Who found out there’s no where to escape
Some mistakes can’t be undone
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse
Keep on riding capture feeling
It’s an outline of a real connection
Treat your desires as what they are
Imposters and lonely invitations
Some mistakes can’t be undone
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse
Things you can pick up and look beneath
Just watch your step,
Don’t fall between the blanks in your memory
There’s an anchor sinking in the sound of a sense of lack that follows you around
Years went by but I know it don’t matter what you think of me
Like a fugitive who just quit running
Who found out there’s no where to escape
Some mistakes can’t be undone
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse
Some kind of confederate ghost
It holds me close shows me the way to go
Until I’m sure I’m lost
I built a workshop to find myself
Where I can dig in the corners climbing spider webs
It’s a polaroid cemetery of every look you’ve ever given me
Like a fugitive who just quit running
Who found out there’s no where to escape
Some mistakes can’t be undone
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse
It’s an outline of a real connection
Treat your desires as what they are
Imposters and lonely invitations
It will never be like it was
Wishing for it only makes it worse

"Teacher (?) desires as what they are"
should be
"Treat your desires as what they are"
And I hear "capture feeling" or "catch your feeling" instead of "can't you feel it?"
Yeah thanks your def. right on the treat your desires part i knew that wasnt right, and man that "capture feeling" or "catch your feeling" is a tough one. Changed it to capture feeling for right now until we get more opinions.
Hmm. It definitely does sound like both "capture" and "catch a", but I think "Keep on riding to catch a feeling" makes a lot more sense than "Keep on riding, capture feeling".
Also, I think that it says "you" instead of "who" in the chorus.
I don't mean to end to put an end to all the lyrical guessing fun, but the lyrics are on the official rocky votolato website: http://www.rockyvotolato.com/lyrics/reddragonwishes.html
And I think the song is about a failed relationship. The person of the song is talking about how he is on a journey to find himself and now his ex is trying to get back with him based on a desire. So he tells her that her desires are imposters and that he would lose himself (go back to sleep) if he did get back with her. There is a lot of other stuff in there too but I think this is the main story.
