NOW FOR SOME ANGST

Have you ever known someone and loved someone so greatly, that even as they changed for the worse, that perfect image still lived on in your head and gave you something to fight for?

Picture a broken heart split in two. Oblivion is one piece of the heart, and Reverie is the other. These two songs are two perspectives of a shattered past intertwining.

Well, it isn’t a Halfy & Winks song if it isn’t about a broken relationship! The moment I heard the word reverie, I immediately fell in love with its meaning and the symbolism it could hold. Reverie, a daydream of something pleasant and beautiful. A thought of something that once was, but no longer is.

This song is about that daydream. The eyes fall closed, and we are taken to a sky of rain and lightning. We are taken to the day that this illusion of a person told you that they “would never leave”. Your hopes are high, it feels as though you are living in a dream world that you pray you will never wake up from. However, as the song goes on, a reverie is described as a “daydream of reality,” and “remembering the one who USED to be my reverie”.

In the next verse, we are taken through the downfall of this so-called reverie. “The winds of change had whirled you far into oblivion” (wink wink). After what this person has done, nothing is or will ever be the same as it once was. That is why we live in this reverie, which is a fantasy, an idea of the person, before the change and before the mess. This reverie is of “the past (we) wanna be living”. It is “remembering the one who used to be” the person you once knew and loved, who loved you too. Now that is gone, and you are left with a pigment of your imagination of that person. The hope that they will one day change is the last tiny string holding us up, keeping us fighting for the relationship. But perhaps that string needs to break, and we need to move on.

“Pinch me, oh, wake me up from this cursed daydream” the song continues, begging to be woken up from this painful illusion. Memories haunt, they break and they taunt, and all we want is to be free from being trapped in a false reality. The song finally comes to an end, a “waking” point. Hesitation is heard after “leaving you here in this…” as though we are still lingering, struggling with parting ways of what once was. However, the decision is made, and the past version of this person is left, forever, inside of this reverie.
