Dream on Violeta
Hands up. Money or life
You stood there and had to count to one hundred
And you peeked through your fingers
I lay waiting in the reeds for an hour
At night you were up in the attic and sang
The moon was full, and we howled at it
The nights were short and the day was too long
Those were magical times that we had together back then
And you raised me up to the clouds, and even higher up
I was your acrobat, and I always fell right into your arms
Only butterflies could have felt any freer than we
And Dad stood and smiled and waved, down on the ground and watched
But that was back then
It's different now
We share a secret
Your dreams that we dug in
They grow out of the ground when it rains down
I see it in you from my bed
Dreams that grow like a flower meadow
And one very special and beautiful day
I'll leap over the fence with all I have
I'm going to pick your dreams until the ground is bare
You raised me higher, and higher, and higher and even higher up
I was your acrobat, and I always fell right into your arms
Only butterflies could have felt any freer than we
And dad stood and smiled and waved, down on the ground and watched
But that was back then
It's different now
I want it to be like it was
You did the impossible
You gave us the feeling that anything could happen
There were rabbits in the hat
I waited for the elephant
You took the rabbits out of the hat
I was waiting for the elephant

Beatrice longs for her daughter and at nights she sits in the attic, wears her old wedding dress and drinks vodka in despair. While she plays a pump organ and smokes cigarettes. After suffering for seven years she decides to take her own life, but before she manages to do so her daughter makes contact in a dream. Beatrice then decides to travel out in the world to find her.

This is when she understands that she will meet her mother for the first time in seven years. She's a big girl now. Her mother promises her a life like no other. And when she has thawed the last bucket of ice, she understands what her mother wants and that they have been closer than she first thought.
