In Dreams I Dance with You Lyrics
You remind me of a snowflake
That falls while comets hit the earth,
Destroying buildings and trees.
But you are so light in the air,
You never destruct a thing.
Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
In my bed at night I dream you're a ghost
That only cats can see.
Some nights you talk to me.
Some nights you sing me to sleep,
While moonlight showers the room.
Orenda, if you were here
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
In dreams I dance with you.
We dance the best in the kitchen.
While murderers and rapists surround the house.
We don't care,
Because our house is made of feathers.
They wouldn't dare.
In dreams I dance with you,
Though our bodies are made out of wood.
That falls while comets hit the earth,
Destroying buildings and trees.
But you are so light in the air,
You never destruct a thing.
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
That only cats can see.
Some nights you talk to me.
Some nights you sing me to sleep,
While moonlight showers the room.
I could walk through you,
Orenda.
We dance the best in the kitchen.
While murderers and rapists surround the house.
We don't care,
Because our house is made of feathers.
They wouldn't dare.
In dreams I dance with you,
Though our bodies are made out of wood.

wow i love this song. clever.
This song gets all random in the end and it is BEAUTIFUL. Actually the whole thing is beautiful, the imagery of a dainty crystal snowflake that falls while chaos and destruction is going on symbolizing the perfect loveliness of a certain person despite the tragedies that go on daily. And they dance despite the horrors outside their house of feathers, they will not be disturbed.
i love the imagery the first verses bring about in my mind, slow motion polarized film closeup shot of a single snowflake falling amidst the world ending.
to me, it's about a person you consider your calm center in a world of chaos, but also someone who you have to dream into being, because you can't be with them in reality for whatever reason. distance, death, still in the closet, etc.
"in my bed at night I dream you're a ghost that only cats can see some nights you talk to me some nights you sing me to sleep while moonlight showers the room,"
that reminds me of memories of people you bring about before you fall asleep at night. why? because when you remember someone, it's almost as if they're with you...at least, in thought. that's how i imagine memories. they're like ghosts of people, or rather, ghosts of what they were to you, anyway.<p><b><i>Edited by delial on May 28 2008, at 03:10AM</i></b></p>
really good song the last part is kinda strange but i think its the best part, he uses really good imagery
This song just seems like a perfectly normal love song.
Well, normal by of Montreal's standerds anyways.
the lyrics at the end always through me off, but then I realized it's supposed to be describing the dream. Once you look at it that way, the absurdity makes total sense.
Who is Oranda?
^i have always assumed that the song was referencing orenda fink?
The last part is just poetry. Even if you think we can't (Though our bodies are made out of wood ), we will be happy.
