Dreams Don't Turn to Dust Lyrics
Splashdown in the silver screen into a deep dramatic scene
I swam through the theater, or maybe I'm just a dreamer
Like a kite in the bright midday, Wonder stole my breath away
Shy sonata for Mercury; the stars always sing so pretty
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
I made for the countryside, and my eyes never grew so wide
Apple raspberry river blue, I don't wanna leave without you
In the sound I'll gladly drown into the emerald underground
I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see surrounded by all this beauty
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
(I'm sad to see you go, but I'd rather be alone)
When tiger eyes begin making you blush!
And when diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
Let them go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
I'll rest assured 'cause dreams don't turn to dust.
I swam through the theater, or maybe I'm just a dreamer
Like a kite in the bright midday, Wonder stole my breath away
Shy sonata for Mercury; the stars always sing so pretty
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
Apple raspberry river blue, I don't wanna leave without you
In the sound I'll gladly drown into the emerald underground
I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see surrounded by all this beauty
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
And when diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
Let them go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart,
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk,
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust
Dreams don't turn to dust

What he's saying is he doesn't always want to live in reality he wants to live in his dreams, and he wants ALL of us to follow our dreams and dreams will never end...we love you Adam...<3
to me this song means that he has dreams of this beautiful girl in a beautiful dream world, but it's rather dark and not as good as real life, he wants to be with her in real life so that's why he'd rather be alone than being tricked into thinking he with this beautiful girl. But that's just me interpretation.
I think he is singing about his dreaming, and doesn't want to leave it. He says he'll miss real life, but he would rather be dreaming alone then be in real life. I believe he hints at it becoming reality with the first few verses (Splashdown in the silver screen, Into a deep dramatic scene, I swim through the theatre, Or maybe I'm just a dreamer) and says in the chorus "dreams don't turn to dust", meaning his dreams won't just be forgotten/be chased.
Ert - I /mean will be chased, not /be chased. Terrible linearity there.
Ert - I /mean will be chased, not /be chased. Terrible linearity there.
one of the best song in all things bright and beautiful :)
Love. This. Song.

Basically saying, keep dreaming, keep reaching as high as you can, one day you will meet your goals, sooner or later just depends on you
Adam is a sunset that dazzles in the dusk. And around here, it's always dusk ;) Keep shining, keep dreaming, and live life <3
this song is about how the world can be really wonderful if you just stop thinking so hard about it and let go of reality for a little while. you will get where you are trying to go eventually so stop worrying. my bird,estuarine, was screeching and dancing along to this song today. this is her first time singing and i am so happy she likes owl city too!
