This poem is about a potential lover who will not reveal himself. He holds the key to the relationship but won't allow it to progress, keeping the author in obsessive need. She sees him as an archangle/taxman (need something better here)which are instruments of society that bring good in a bad way.
I actually wrote this poem/lyrics while proctoring an Advanced Placement Physics exam at the High School. I watched as a brillant child fell asleep with his head on the exam that could decide his future...combined with my own sleeping future I wrote Giver of Dreams. It is basically an ultimatum poem with the author afraid to recieve the answer she doesn't want.
