Dream Lyrics

In the dark
And I'm right on the middle mark
I'm just in the tier of everything that rides below the surface
And I watch from a distance seventeen
And I'm short of the others dreams of being golden and on top
It's not what you painted in my head
There's so much there instead of all the colors that I saw

We all are living in a dream,
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess

But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream

In the eyes
Of a teenage crystallized
Oh the prettiest of lights that hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don't keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed

We all are living in a dream,
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess

But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream

Ooh

Oh, I know all your reasons
To keep me from seeing
Everything is actually a mess
But now I am leaving
All of us were only dreaming
Everything is actually a mess

We all are living in a dream
But life ain't what it seems
Oh everything's a mess
And all these sorrows I have seen
They lead me to believe
That everything's a mess

But I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream

I wanna dream
I wanna dream
Leave me to dream

What is the Meaning of Dream?

Navigating through the complexities of life, this lyrical composition explores the dichotomy between dreams and reality. The song encapsulates the protagonist's struggle with disillusionment as he grapples with the harsh realities of life that starkly contrast his idealistic dreams. Despite this, he clings to his ability to dream as a means of escape from his chaotic existence. His yearning for dreams symbolizes his desire for better outcomes and possibilities, an antidote to his present tribulations. However, he acknowledges that life is not what it seems; it is often messy and filled with sorrow. The repeated phrase "everything's a mess" underlines this sentiment, reflecting on the universal human experience of hardship and disappointment. Nevertheless, the protagonist remains hopeful, seeking solace in dreams amidst the turmoil of reality.
