Silent Film, A - Chinese Lanterns Lyrics
Dreamer dreams, blossom springs
Colour follows you around
A paper queen, flickering
I hear nothing but the sound
Before your memories fade
I hope you're ready for when the stars come out
Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you
Floating on a sea of light
Chinese lanterns in the sky
Sailing over you and I
Chinese lanterns guide us tonight
Ocean swell on heaven's stage
Broken bell in a hollow cage
I know you'll be back with me soon
You know I'll follow wherever the wind may blow
Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you
Floating on a sea of light
Chinese lanterns in the sky
Sailing over you and I
Chinese lanterns guide us tonight
As one dancing figurine came sailing into view
I know I saw your face the way you want me to
And then just like in a dream the night burst like the flowers bloom
Just for us
Floating on a sea of light
Chinese lanterns in the sky
Sailing over you and I
Chinese lanterns guide us tonight

"Chinese Lanterns"
Dreamer dreams, blossom springs
Colour follows you around
A paper queen, flickering
I hear nothing but the sound
I hope it happens before the candle blows out
Before your memories fade
I hope you're ready for when the stars come out
Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you
Floating on a sea of light
Chinese lanterns in the sky
Sailing over you and I
Chinese lanterns guide us tonight
Ocean swell on heaven's stage
A wind that whistles to the tune
Broken bell in a hollow cage
I know you'll be back with me soon
You know I'll follow wherever the wind may blow
Don't be afraid, don't run away, tonight I want to see you
Floating on a sea of light
Chinese lanterns in the sky

I know I saw your face the way you want me to
And then just like in a dream the night burst like the flowers bloom

Sailing over you and I
Chinese lanterns guide us tonight

Makes me think of a love story set in a future where corporations routinely wipe the memories of their indentured servants, making them unable to form new relationships/attachments. An indentured servant works as a part of a security force for his company. One night, he gets separated from the rest of his force amid a protest. He's in an unfamiliar city as it prepares for a festival... He meets a girl. She vows to help him find his way back safely if he'll be her company for the festival. It's an inefficient way of getting back, and he doesn't know why he accepts.
She takes his hand, and they make their way through the lights, noise, and smells of the festival coming to life.
He sees the city through her eyes, through the way she smiles. She gets to know the human beneath his standard-issue helmet. They dance and laugh throughout the night... Looking at each other under the lantern lights, they realize all at once that they're completely, stupidly in love.
Then it's early dawn, and he has to return. He has to have his memories of her stolen from his skull.
He doesn't want to go back. But the punishment for trying to escape servitude is harsh. The girl doesn't want anything to happen to him, so she tells him to go. She'll find him again, as soon as she can - tomorrow. They're not going to lose each other.
So she finds him again the very next day. And he doesn't understand why a random civilian is talking with him, or leaving him a small piece of a homemade cake. He doesn't recognize her as she shows up again, day after day. If he could remember her, though, she would be the brightest part of his life.
Still, it's three years before his debts are paid and his servitude ends. Despite herself, and wanting to believe in true love, the girl begins to wonder why she keeps coming back. A relationship can only go so far when they can't move past the beginning.
Even so, it's good having him in her life. She comes back as often as she can muster...
And three years later, he doesn't know why some girl is waiting for him as he leaves his work. She smiles in a way he finds familiar, asking if she can give him a hug.
He doesn't know why, but he accepts.
@jauxro you write this goddamn story and you publish it. It sounds incredible. Don't bury it as a dream.
