Writer’s note: “Talk of Dreams” is about the masks we wear and contort into which are forced upon us by society, and how, while wearing those masks, we often forget our true selves and our dreams. Halloween is thematically involved as a holiday (my favorite one) where we can briefly dress as whoever or whatever we want without much social scorn, wearing different sorts of masks. This is a song about acknowledging yourself and your dreams.
lyrics
Talk of Dreams
By Megan Johns
Blood on your idols
Superfluous titles
Talk if you're able while lying down
What? That she was smoking?
She was only joking
I walk in the dirt with my soil crown
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween, Halloween
I'm calming down
Oo
It comes to the surface
Bubbling nervous,
I shook off the shakes and I'm calming down
She looked at me crying,
“Baby, I am dying.
Will you be so brave for the both of us?”
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Halloween, Halloween
I'm calming down
Oo
I came out at night
Awoo
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
Do you wanna talk of dreams?
