Dreamdrift From the album Solo Capo: 2 [Intro] / / / x2 [Verse 1] I’m like a drifter and I’m drifting along I might go swifter but the wind is so strong My body tells me I should let it slow down Still I keep wishing I was in the next town [Bridge] In dreams I’m drifting on a sea of dismay You should not meet me when I’m feeling this way I’m still a drifter and I’d like to hold on I could go swifter but the road is so long [Interlude] / / / [Verse 2] I’m still as crazy as I always have been I could get lazy but my shoes are too thin My radar tells me there’s a ghost at my side Still I keep walking and the ghost gets a ride [Bridge] I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air I see a bimbo and there is nobody there I’m still as crazy as I always will be I could get hazy but the road is on me [Interlude] / / / [Verse 3] I’m like a drifter just like I always was They call me mister there is no special cause My sister tells me I’m a sight to behold My daughter tells me to come in from the cold [Bridge] I get to heaven and there is no one around You should not meet me when I’m back down on the ground I’m still a drifter but I like to hang on I could go swifter but the wind is so strong [Interlude] / / / x2 [Bridge] I drift in limbo on a bed of thin air I see a bimbo and there is nobody there I’m still as crazy as I always have been I could get hazy it’s the space I am in [Outro] / / / x3 [Coda]

La chanson évoque le voyage intérieur d'un homme qui se considère comme un vagabond, errant de ville en ville sans véritable destination. Il ressent le besoin de ralentir, mais il est tiraillé par l’envie de continuer à avancer. Il se confie sur ses luttes personnelles, ses rêves et ses illusions, peignant ainsi un portrait de solitude et de quête de sens. Au fil des vers, on découvre un personnage qui reste fidèle à sa nature tumultueuse, partagé entre le désir de se poser et le besoin de liberté. Dans ce contexte, la chanson reflète une profonde introspection, une exploration des défis émotionnels et des relations interpersonnelles, laissant l'impression d'un chemin qui, bien que parsemé d'embûches, continue d'être parcouru avec détermination. La mélodie accompagne habilement ce récit, créant une atmosphère propice à la réflexion.
