The song reflects the rising awakening among all of us. She may be real or not, but in any shape she is, she embodies our guiding spirits, telling us that reality is what we dream about. What we dream about is what reality will become. She urges him (us) to realize this. By an event untold, the protagonist is confronted with maximum anxiety. And in this moment he is faced with the depths of his being. The pressure is so strong that he feels he can take no more. That he is dying. And it is in this very moment that she tells him, to turn his magic on. To dream the live he chooses. It is in this moment that he shapes himself and can become whatever he wants himself to be. And can create the life he has towards his future. Now, with the insight he has gained, understanding that -we- have only this life, with the power to shape it, he chooses to share it with -you- (all of us).

Throughout the song he feels his heart beating. This is physically correct. Once you are awakened, you physically feel your heart beating. Like it is pounding against your chest. And you feel alive. And this can only be through our connections with others, with you.

So let us dance. Feel our hearts beating. Be the legends we are. And dream the world we want to live in. Because so it will be.
