A Dream Of Siam Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Mase 

Cover art for A Dream Of Siam lyrics by Gary Numan

This is perhaps Gary's most texturally complex song of his career. Though the lyrics are on the vague side (even for Numan's standards), I am floored by the contrasts between the funk bass, the oriental chimes, and the postapocalyptic synths. This may be my favorite song he's even written. Even the lyrics, vague as they are, reveal bleak contrasts and desires unfulfilled. Here, Gary hit sonic perfection.
