A track from South African musician, poet and painter Andries Bezuidenhout’s album “No place for time here” (Dikeni Records, 2024). The track was originally released in Afrikaans in 2003. The video combines AI animation generated with prompts from the song's lyrics, and extracts from books, letters, texts that are related to the theme of dreams and nightmares. A somewhat Gothic approach to the topic.
Recorded and mixed by Andries Bezuidenhout
Mastered by Willem Möller
LYRICS: BEWARE OF THE DREAM
Something's out of kilter, something isn't right
The alarm clock's dual dials have both taken flight
The shoes in the closet stomp an unpaired march
The whisky bottle's label flies half mast
But beware of the dream, beware, beware
Of counting on sleeping through this nightmare
Beware of the dream, beware of the dream
The wages of dreaming are dreams
Oh look, a squint eyed television
And a radio with dials of indecision
The hoover electrical chord is on the loose
The boiler and the fridge declare a truce
But beware of the dream, beware, beware
Of counting on sleeping through this nightmare
Beware of the dream, beware of the dream
The wages of dreaming are dreams
From today, I say, I live on purpose
But I know, I have the wrong end of the business
Because every foundation harbours a ruin
And each straight façade ends in confusion
But beware of the dream, beware, beware
Of counting on sleeping through this nightmare
Beware of the dream, beware of the dream
The wages of dreaming are dreams
