Rêverie
Adelyn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How many times can you expect
For these thoughts and these feelings to never connect in my
Mind and through your teeth you'll be dragging your knees
How did we get so far and become so lost
Wrapped in our mindless single thoughts
The enemy is in your head
But when it gets so bad you wish it'd finally end
And where do we go from here
Eyes open so I can clear my head
From this bitter reality
But it grounds me down and it tears me inside out

Am I dreaming
Is this all I'll ever know
Better than reality
Stuck in my mentality
And I'm going nowhere
Am I dreaming
Is this all that I can give
Waiting just to disappear
I can see my mind so clear
Have I lost myself to peace and comforting

How many times will I disguise these thoughts are echoing through my mind
They're waiting for the day lost to hope and sorrow
But they're waiting on somebody else's time
How many times will I disguise this survival, this need to grow
Im losing to the winning hand so pull me out
I'm surrounded but never felt so alone

And where do we go from here
Eyes open so I can clear my head
From this bitter reality
'Cause it grinds me down and it tears me inside out

Am I dreaming
Is this all I'll ever know
Better than reality
Stuck in my mentality
And I'm going nowhere
Am I dreaming
Is this all that I can give
Waiting just to disappear
I can see my mind so clear
Have I lost myself to peace and comforting

Have I lost myself to peace
Have I lost myself to peace
Waiting just to disappear
And I've never seen so clear
Won't you help me out
Im fighting just for a chance
'Cause this is all we have

Am I dreaming
Is this all I'll ever know
Better than reality
Stuck in my mentality
And I'm going nowhere
Am I dreaming
Is this all that I can give
Waiting just to disappear




I can see my mind so clear
Have I lost myself to peace and comforting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adelyn's song "Reverie" reflect an ongoing struggle with thoughts and feelings that never seem to align. The song paints a picture of feeling lost in the midst of one's own thoughts and mental struggles, and the constant feeling of being stuck in a cycle of hoping for something to change, but never knowing how to make that change a reality. The line "The enemy is in your head" reflects the idea that oftentimes our biggest obstacle is our own negative self-talk and self-doubt.


Throughout the song, Adelyn wrestles with the concept of being lost in her own dreams and thoughts, and never actually getting anywhere. She questions whether or not she is dreaming because, in some ways, the dream world may seem more appealing than the reality in which she finds herself. The repetition of the phrase "Am I dreaming, is this all I'll ever know?" implies that there is a sense of hopelessness in her struggle to escape her own mind. The line "Have I lost myself to peace and comforting" hints at the idea that sometimes we hold on to what is familiar, even if it is not what is best for us.


Overall, the song speaks to the universal struggle of self-doubt and the search for meaning and purpose. The lyrics paint a picture of a constantly evolving journey through life, as we constantly fight against our own negative thoughts and mental struggles in order to find some sense of peace and clarity.
