Strange Dreams

Qveen Herby's song "Strange Dreams" delves into the complexities of the human psyche, particularly focusing on the struggles with inner demons and the quest for mental peace. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a restless night filled with unsettling dreams, symbolizing the artist's internal battles. The recurring theme of losing one's mind and the metaphorical 'crash and burn' moments highlight the intensity of these struggles. The 'pillow fight' serves as a metaphor for the constant mental conflict, suggesting that even in moments of rest, the mind is at war.

The song also touches on the impact of modern life's overstimulation. The mention of coffee, a double shot with no foam, signifies the need for constant energy to keep up with life's demands. The inner voice advising to 'drown my phone' reflects the desire to escape the digital world's distractions and its negative impact on mental well-being. The artist yearns for a simpler life, free from the constant stimuli that tighten her shoulders and make her search for meaning in fleeting social media 'likes.' This search for meaning and peace is further emphasized by the imagery of meditating and burning Palo Santo, a practice often associated with cleansing and spiritual healing.

Qveen Herby also explores the idea of finding light amidst darkness. Conversing with shadows until she sees the light suggests a journey through her subconscious, seeking clarity and understanding. The world keeps turning, and her fuse keeps burning, indicating that despite these inner battles, life goes on. The song encapsulates the struggle to maintain mental health in a fast-paced, overstimulated world, and the continuous effort to find peace and meaning amidst chaos.
