After Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is not a dream but something in between that and reality
Wake up if you dare
This is not the regular nightmare
Before your eyes the world will change
Slowly take you down to unknown places
Welcome to a world that's only yours
Leave me alone
My dreams speak to me or am I still awake?
Leave me alone
I'm my own threat, I'm a victim of my mind
Let go
I fooled you, I warned you though
I won't let go before you've dreamed all your dreams
I'll play you
You want me to
You ask for more
You want to know
Leave me now, I need to know I'm in control
Leave me alone
Leave me be within my private fantasies
Let go
I told you you, I won't let go
I want to show you what dreams can do for you
They'll free you, they'll open doors
They show you all you want to know
As some is light and some is dark, dreams can be both
They have two sides
Fear
I am your fear deep inside
Fear
Face all your fears deep in this dream
We are the dark side of your mind
Pain
I am your pain deep inside
Pain
Feel all your pain deep in this dream
Feel it's a part of you
You are like your dreams, both light as dark
Come with us now and explore
Silence, I'm here
No words, no sounds, no pain or doubts
I'm floating
Even time itself can never touch me
I am free
Silence, I'm here
No voices, no music
I'm roaming through this soundless place
Leave me here where I am free
Doubt
I am your doubt deep inside
I am all you try to hide
Hate
I am your hate deep inside
I am your mirror, your fright
Energized by nightly views
You are the dream, the dream is you
Aah
So face it, you know I'm right
You have no reason to resent me and fight
You are me and I am you
The other side of the sleepy truth
Leave me please, how can I rest with you inside?
Leave me alone, I'm too tired for these crazy theories
Let go
I'll leave you, but won't let go, for I am part of all you'll ever do
I'll help you, I'll open doors and show you all you need to know
For I'm your dream energizer
The lyrics of “Dreamflight” by After Forever describe the experience of dreaming, and the conflict between the conscious and subconscious mind. The song starts by inviting the listener to wake up from a dream, only to enter another world that is both familiar and strange. The dreamer is unsure whether they are still awake or asleep and struggles to maintain control over their mind. They eventually give in to their dreams and experience all the light and dark aspects of their subconscious mind, including fear, pain, doubt, and hate. The song ends with the dreamer feeling liberated and energized by the experience.
The lyrics of “Dreamflight” are replete with metaphors and imagery that evoke the surreal and mystical nature of dreams. The dream world is described as a place that is somewhere “in between” reality and a dream, and the dreamer is asked to “follow me” to explore this unfamiliar territory. The dream world is also depicted as a place that is both silent and loud, containing “no sounds, no pain or doubts,” and yet “roaming through this soundless place.” The dreamer is also confronted with their own fears and doubts, represented by dark figures that appear and disappear throughout the song.
Interestingly, “Dreamflight” is the last track on After Forever’s second studio album, “Decipher,” which was released in 2001. The album represents a continuation of the band’s signature blend of progressive metal, classical, and symphonic elements. However, “Dreamflight” stands out from the rest of the tracks in its acoustic and folk-influenced style, featuring a prominent use of acoustic guitar and accordion. Despite its stylistic departure, the song has become a fan favorite and has been performed live by the band at several concerts.
