Dreams Don't Turn To Dust Lyrics

Splash down in the silver screen
Into a deep dramatic scene
I swim 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

    I think that Adam's basically
    just saying to never let go of your dreams, though the interpretation is pretty obvious. ;D

    "I swim through the theater
    Or maybe I'm just a dreamer"
    He's saying that maybe it's just a fantasy that he's chasing, but he's going to go for it anyway.

    "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" The easy part is over, and he's leaving his normal life for something better. He'll miss his past, but he'd rather pursue his dream than spend life doing nothing.
    "So I'll drag the anchor up
    And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust"
    He's going to stop being idle, and start believing in himself.


    "I made for the countryside
    And my eyes never grew so wide" He's made the first step, and realizes that it was a good decison to follow his dream.
    "Apple raspberry river blue
    I don't wanna leave without you
    In the sound I gladly drowned
    Into the emerald underground
    I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see
    Surrounded by all this beauty"
    He did leave a life behind, but it's worth it.



    "When tiger eyes begin making you blush
    When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
    Let them go cause dreams don't turn to dust"
    Tiger eyes could be an allusion to "Eye of the Tiger", which partially is about not giving up, be it for money or anything else.



    "Dreams don't turn to dust

    And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust"
    Follow your dreams, because you can and will achieve them.
