In Our Dreams
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There're signs in the water, there're signs in the wind
It's easy to see if you dare
For once close your eyes now and open your mind
And you'll see the truth everywhere
A world full of cynics, filled up with hate
A mankind with nowhere to go
Once born in the fire, we keep up the flame
The world may be dying, but not in our name
Not in our name, not in our name
We call for reason โ€“ weโ€™re calling in vain
Not in our name, not in our name
Someday you'll wake up โ€“ and look back in shame
No, not in our name
We've come through the ages, we've gone through the times
And passed our legacy on
For once close your eyes now and search for what's real
The truth that's been there all along
A world full of shadows, filled with despair
A mankind that preys on the weak
The vultures are craving for more of the same
The world may be falling, but not in our name
Not in our name ...
Will we wise up now before we fall
Our backs lined up against a wall
With our last belief, our last attempt
The last of us are standing tall โ€“ standing tall โ€“ til the end




Not in our name ...
Not in our name

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Above & Beyond's song "In Our Dreams" depict the singer's yearning for someone they saw and immediately fell in love with. The song starts with the singer describing the object of their desire: a person with a smile that mesmerizes and eyes that leave them staring. The person stays in their head, and after failed attempts to forget them, they turn into a constant presence in their dreams.


The lyrics express the singer's inability to meet this person in real life despite trying to change seats and hoping they will cross paths. The singer's love for this person is so intense that even after a year, they are still alone and searching for them. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer meeting someone who looks just like the person they have been dreaming of. The new person's resemblance brings peace to the singer's mind, and they finally find solace knowing that they will always be in their dreams.


The song's lyrics are honest and relatable, reflecting on the feelings we all go through when we see someone we like but are unable to meet. The dreamy melody creates a sense of longing and makes the listener feel the singer's yearning for the person they cannot get out of their head.


Line by Line Meaning

I saw you standing there
I noticed you standing in front of me


And all I could do was stare
I couldn't take my eyes off of you


At that smile
I was attracted to your smile


That smile upon your face
I found your smile beautiful


Those cute little eyes
Your eyes caught my attention


That left me mesmerized
I was enchanted by you


And you stayed
You remained in my mind


Stayed inside my head
I couldn't stop thinking about you


I tried to forget
I attempted to erase you from my thoughts


But my memory was set
I couldn't forget you


And since then
From that moment


You're always in my dreams
You constantly appear in my dreams


Day after day
Every day


The thoughts won't go away
I can't stop thinking about you


And I know
I am aware


I want you in my life
I desire to have you in my life


I keep changing my seat
I frequently change my location


In the hope that we might meet
With the expectation that we may cross paths


But we're always
However, we are consistently


Always so far apart
Far away from each other


A year has gone
A whole year has passed


And I am still alone
I am still by myself


With me searching
I am searching


Searching for you
Looking for you


Thinking about you
Reflecting on you


It leaves me feeling blue
It makes me feel sad


Just what
I wonder


What am I to do
What action should I take


Met someone new
I met a new person


Who looks a lot like you
That closely resembles you


Said "I've seen you before
They mentioned "I've seen you previously


On that platform number four"
At train platform number four


Could it be
Is it possible


An answer to my prayers
A response to my hopes and wishes


No need to forget
I don't have to forget


As my memory is set
Since I can't forget


'Cause from now
Because starting now


You're always in my dreams
You will always be present in my dreams


Always In my dreams
Constantly appearing in my dreams

There was a time
There was a place
But there was fear inside
A witty lie to save my face
The parachute of pride
To cross the line takes a tiny step
But will this spark cause the bridge to burn
My fear entwined with my regret
I'll be the path for safe return

So here we are
All just the same
But you will never know
My secret plan
How close we came
To share another role
I haven't lost my only chance
To tell you how I feel inside
Is it just me
I'd like to know
Or are we all just a little blind?

There's a thing called love
That we all forget
And it's a wasted love
That we all regret
You live your life just once
So don'tโ€ฆforget about a thing called love
