Dreamcore

The song 'Dreamcore' by Pathetic delves into the depths of emotional turmoil and existential despair. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with profound sadness, as evidenced by the recurring line, 'ты не сможешь скрыть печаль своих глаз, что так кричат' (you cannot hide the sadness in your eyes that scream). This imagery suggests an overwhelming sense of sorrow that is impossible to conceal, highlighting the raw and unfiltered nature of the emotions being experienced.

The concept of 'дримкор' (dreamcore) serves as a metaphorical space where the protagonist's pain is both magnified and numbed. The dreamcore realm is depicted as a place of distorted realities, where 'искаженные дома и пустые коридоры' (distorted houses and empty corridors) no longer instill fear, as 'во сне нет чувств тревоги' (in dreams, there are no feelings of anxiety). This suggests a dissociative state where the usual emotional responses are dulled, providing a temporary escape from the harshness of reality.

The song also touches on themes of unfulfilled desires and the passage of time. The line 'ты хотела быть любимой, но теперь вечно семнадцать' (you wanted to be loved, but now forever seventeen) reflects a longing for love and acceptance that remains unmet, leaving the protagonist trapped in a state of perpetual adolescence. The repeated plea, 'я прошу тебя не надо нас реанимировать' (I beg you, don't revive us), underscores a resignation to the current state of existence, suggesting that the protagonist has come to terms with their place in this 'неправильный' (wrong) world.

Overall, 'Dreamcore' by Pathetic is a haunting exploration of inner pain, the search for solace, and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The song's melancholic tone and evocative imagery resonate deeply, offering a poignant reflection on the human condition.
