With Dreams Are Never Spoken, The Lunar Keys look at the tension of having to speak our deepest truth. It is a tension of having to speak something that counts but being restrained because of remorse and a sense of fear. It is speaking of moments of self-doubt, when emotion is more than we can endure but words are stilled within. But even from a place of tension, hope brings a sense that the truth will set us free.

The Lunar Keys is a description of the raw energy of memory—a first kiss, a person completely seen. These are raw, genuine emotions, not the subsequent silence that is left when we share not that which we most long for. Asking, once more, once more, if we even know that dreams are never uttered is a form of reminding us of why that is so difficult to say.

It connects dreams to words that are left unsaid. In dreams, ideas are without cost, but we end up losing or shattering them when we are awake, when we are on our best endeavor to translate them through words. It is a sorrowful but true idea, more so for nights that we are awake musing about ideas left unuttered.

The Lunar Keys brings a personal element to the equation, of course, naturally, of course, back to frail little Aria. This makes the words more impactful, indicating that articulating our dreams can make a difference for us all. If dreams can’t necessarily be expressed, simply expressing them can leave others a little less alone.

More than a song, simply put, simply said, Dreams Are Never Spoken is a gentle reminder of us to speak from the heart of all that matters most, before we miss our chance.
