Dream to Make Believe
Armor for Sleep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones we need don't know we're there
If I were sand and you were oceans
The moon would be why you're pulled to me
I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't' have to feel
The truth that you can't ever be
The one person that won't ever forget me
I hope that dreams come when I die
So we can talk, I won't wake up
I'll ask you how your life worked out
I'll never know that I'm just dreaming
I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
The truth that you can't ever be
The one person that won't ever forget me
Let me sleep some more.

Line by Line Meaning
It's funny how things work out
It's strange how life unfolds
The ones we need don't know we're there
The people who we need in our lives may not even be aware of our existence
If I were sand and you were oceans
If I was insignificant and you were mighty
The moon would be why you're pulled to me
The moon, representing fate or destiny, would be the reason why we are drawn together
I wake up and think dreams are real
I have difficulty distinguishing between dreams and reality
I sleep so I don't have to feel
I use sleep to avoid dealing with my emotions
The truth that you can't ever be
The reality that you will never be able to fulfill my desires
The one person that won't ever forget me
The only person who will remember me forever
I hope that dreams come when I die
I wish to continue dreaming even after death
So we can talk, I won't wake up
So that we can have a conversation without me having to wake up and face reality
I'll ask you how your life worked out
I will inquire about how your life has panned out
I'll never know that I'm just dreaming
I will never realize that it is all just a dream
Let me sleep some more.
I desire to continue sleeping

Here I am as a 36 year old lady who will never grow tired of music like this. I’ll forever go back to all the music I found from 2004-2008

I left my emo feels for a decade and now, I'm back full force during this neverending panini. I'll be keeping it strong in 2022.

This whole album saved my life. Teenage depression and angst is so real, and the parents of my generation did not go through the exact same kind of teenage life like we did. My parents never understood my thoughts and feelings and music like this made me feel not so alone because it assured me there are others like me. I love Armor For Sleep and this album is in my top 5.
