Just A Dream
Allen Lande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't dare to close my eyes anymore
Another night awake and waiting for the dawn to come
Another bed that I won't fall, fall into my dream
Wake me up, make me see
Remove this maid-up chains from me
Give me faith
Tell me this is only just a dream
Will you be there when the shadows are taking over?
And will you want me when the night is closing in on me?
Is there a way to stay awake and never close my eyes?
Can't separate the day from night
Don't see the difference between the dark and light
Are my dreams real or just a lie?
Tell me am I alive?
The lyrics of Allen Lande's song "Just a Dream" are particularly intriguing and thought-provoking. The song talks about the singer's struggle with insomnia and the fear of losing himself in his dreams. The opening lines set the tone of the song perfectly where the singer expresses how his life and nights are consumed by illusions, and he is afraid to sleep anymore. The singer is waiting for the day to come, but he knows he won't be able to fall asleep and experience his dreams.
The singer then makes an appeal to his loved ones, asking for a release from the chains that bind him. He yearns for faith and assurance that everything in his life is nothing but a dream. The singer poses a series of questions to his loved ones, asking if they would be there for him if he ever loses his mind, or if the shadows of the night consume him. He also wonders if he can stay awake forever and never close his eyes. The song ends with the lines where the singer questions the reality of his dreams and whether he is alive or not.

These illusions have taken over all my nights
My mind is consumed with delusions every night
Don't dare to close my eyes anymore
I'm too afraid to sleep and let my mind wander
Another night awake and waiting for the dawn to come
I spend my nights sleepless, waiting for morning to arrive
Another bed that I won't fall, fall into my dream
Every time I try to sleep, I can't seem to fall into a dream state
Wake me up, make me see
I need someone or something to awaken me from this mental haze
Remove this maid-up chains from me
I feel trapped and need to be freed from the prison of my own mind
Give me faith
I need to believe in something to keep me going
Tell me this is only just a dream
I'm questioning the reality of my own existence
Will you save me if I ever lose my mind?
I fear that I may lose my grip on reality and need someone to rescue me
Will you be there when the shadows are taking over?
I worry that I'll be alone when my thoughts turn dark and overwhelming
And will you want me when the night is closing in on me?
I'm afraid no one will care for me when my mental state declines
Is there a way to stay awake and never close my eyes?
I wish I could avoid sleep altogether to escape my troubled thoughts
Can't separate the day from night
My mind is in a constant state of confusion and disorientation
Don't see the difference between the dark and light
Everything seems to blend together and lose its clarity
Are my dreams real or just a lie?
I'm questioning whether my own thoughts and experiences can be trusted
Tell me am I alive?
I'm struggling to determine whether I'm truly living or just existing

Don't get me wrong, I love Russell he is in my top five metal singers... Buuuut when jorn comes in with that second verse, he just cements himself as the best vocalist in my ears.
