The Dream

I don't think that there's to much to say about the meaning of this song. It's pretty obvious. But anyway, I'll write what's I think the meaning is-

Rest your head \ I think he says to her "Don't let anything bother you right now when you're with me. Just clean your head - rest your head". Oh! just put it outside \ put everything that bothers you away-outside. All wrapped up in ribbons - I think he tells her that this perfect moment - this night, this dream, this time... and their love (that died) is wrapped up in ribbons. The night, The dream, The time love died \ this night, this time that they were together. that moment was like a dream, but then the love died.

We pushed it in our mouths \ they didn't talk about it. They just kepd seeing each other like everything is okay, and nothing's wrong, but they both know that their love is dead. Pushed it deep inside All wrapped up in ribbons \ I already talked about the "Wrapped up in ribbons" above. The night The dream The time Love died \ And I think that in the end, their love is dead and they actually soped seeing each other, because they figured out that they can't be like this. it's not working when there's no love.

Love this song.

this one makes me think of acid, fuck you for saying its shit, fucks me off when people check out lyrics just to say how shit the song is. ignorant fuck

urg...caps lock... no it doesnt. i like it at least. theres just not much to say about it. cool synth in it though.

Dizzy dizzy dizzy As I speak Like a tumbling cat

Last line ^ should be: Like the tumbling head

I love the abstract lyrical style from this era. Several of the images from this b-side were recycled into later songs (eg. vampire bat in "Torture").

Mother who has a miscarriage, and has a dream before it happens.

'You're too far away'- she cannot physically touch her child, which is in her stomach, as she'd like to. 'This mother's love inside me hurts too much.' Referring to the pain of the child kicking against her and the want to actually touch and know the child she bears.

'Prettily waving/ Playing on the sand'- Her vision of what she will do with this child of hers.

'Dizzy dizzy dizzy As I speak Like a tumbling cat.' She witnesses, in her dream, the child die just as it dies in her stomach. On the beach, it falls over even as she speaks to it of her dreams and plans for it.

'I watch in fascination Like a vampire bat.' Since she's in a dream state, she doesn't yet realise the implications. However, as cats eat bats (theoretically), she is nevertheless being eaten by the pain of seeing her dream-child in pain. She's a vampire because her own body is eating the child within her and killing it.

'Don't do it don't do it Don't give it away We'll use it up tomorrow If we don't use it today.' She's telling the child not to die. She's already thinking in mother-talk, using 'tomorrow, love' as a way of deterring the child from ending its own life.

'Rest your head Oh just put it outside' In the dream, her miscarriage is being seen blatantly. She imagines giving birth, and the pain, and she wants the child to come out and rest its head in the outside world, however:

'All wrapped up in ribbons' Refers to the blood around its premature face as it's born.

The next stanza refers to her waking up and realising the reality of the loss.

NO WONDER NOONE WROTE ANYTHING HERE THIS SONG SUCKS
