Dreams

Stealth's song 'Dreams' delves into the complexities of relationships, freedom, and self-discovery. The lyrics open with a conversation about freedom, where the speaker acknowledges the other person's desire to break free. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the emotional turmoil that follows such decisions. The line 'But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness' suggests that while freedom is sought, it often comes with a price—loneliness. The metaphor of a heartbeat driving one mad in the stillness of remembering what was lost underscores the pain and longing that accompany the end of a relationship.

The chorus, 'Oh thunder only happens when it's raining, players only love you when they're playing,' uses natural phenomena to illustrate the transient nature of certain emotions and relationships. Thunder and rain are inseparable, just as players' love is conditional and fleeting. The repetition of 'what you had and what you lost' serves as a poignant reminder of the duality of gain and loss in love. The imagery of rain washing one clean suggests a cathartic process, implying that clarity and understanding come after emotional storms.

In the second verse, the speaker reflects on their own visions and dreams, which they keep to themselves. This introspection highlights a personal journey of self-awareness and the realization that dreams of loneliness are part of the human experience. The recurring theme of 'what you had and what you lost' reinforces the idea that memories of past relationships linger, affecting one's present and future. The song concludes with a sense of acceptance and understanding, as the repeated line 'when the rain washes you clean you'll know' suggests that time and reflection bring wisdom and clarity.
