Named after the real abandoned theme park Nara Dreamland in Japan, this song tells the story of Nicole and her lover sneaking into the park to have a night of fun, also while reflecting upon what the park must have looked like in its heyday.
She describes how broken down and sad the park looks, but...
[Verse 1]
We broke into Dreamland
Just so we could have one more day there
But I could not stand to see it in such sad disrepair
He wanted to hold me in the roller coaster carts
Sunken into the ground
All I could think about was how much I wanted to
Burn it all down
[Chorus]
He tried to tell me things get abandoned
It's okay for them to rot
I told him that we should find some gasoline
He said we'd better not
[Verse 2]
We broke into Dreamland
To find the parts of us that we left behind
But I could not stand the smell of death
When everything was still alive
If only I could pull out the clown’s teeth
Take them home to keep with me
Euthanize the carousel ponies
Put the park out of its misery
[Chorus]
He tried to tell me things get abandoned
It's okay for them to rot
I told him that we should find some gasoline
He said we'd better not
