The Dreamer
Anna of the North Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the songs that I write are about you
You're not about me anymore
You're standing on the shore
I'm drifting away, I can't hear you no more
And the further that I get
I'm closer to decisions that I will regret
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
I feel so uninspired
All the songs that I write are about you
You're not around me anymore
It feels like we capsized
Splitting down the sides, you're not around me
This is our last chance to make it work
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
Please don't take my hope away
Please don't take my hope away
Please don't take my hope
It's not about you
It's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
In "The Dreamer", Anna of the North is singing about a relationship that has ended, but she is still struggling to move on. She admits that all the songs she writes are about her former partner, but she knows that it's time to let go. She feels like they are drifting apart, and the further she gets, the closer she gets to making decisions she will regret. Despite this, she acknowledges that it's not about her former partner anymore, and she needs to move on with her life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's not about you, it's not about you anymore" which reinforces her realization that she needs to let go of this relationship. The repetition also shows that she is trying to convince herself that she doesn't need this person anymore, but she still feels weak without them. She pleads with her partner not to take his hope away, indicating she still wants to hold onto the possibility of a future together.
Overall, "The Dreamer" is a song about the struggles of moving on from a relationship where all the songs are already about the person who is no longer in your life. It shows the internal conflict of wanting to move on but still holding onto the hope of a future together.

I feel so uninspired
I am lacking creativity and motivation
All the songs that I write are about you
I have been fixated on writing about you for some time
You're not about me anymore
You are no longer a significant part of my life or inspiration for my songs
You're standing on the shore
You are stationary and watching from a distance
I'm drifting away, I can't hear you no more
I am moving further from you and our connection is fading
And the further that I get
The more distance there is between us
I'm closer to decisions that I will regret
My desire to move on is leading me to make choices that I may come to regret
It's not about you, it's not about you anymore
My focus has shifted away from you and you are no longer the subject of my songs
You're not around me anymore
I am no longer in your presence or under your influence
It feels like we capsized
Our relationship has taken a turn for the worse and is now sinking
Splitting down the sides, you're not around me
Our previous connection has been broken and we are both moving in different directions
This is our last chance to make it work
We are at a critical moment in our relationship where we must either fix it or let it go
Please don't take my hope away
I am holding on to hope that things can still work out between us
It's not about you
My focus and attention is no longer on you and our relationship
It's not about you anymore
You have become irrelevant in my life and my creativity

❤ this song and many others from Anne of the North. My 3 yr old daughter has memorised "Fire" as her first song in life that she has sung. So. Keep going. Need more of these kinds of music ma'am.

It's been a while I'm listening to Anna of the North, I just wanted to say her style is absolute awesomeness

This is one of those songs where the instrumental is just...mesmerizing. It puts you into a zone of deep thought and emotion. Combine that with the repetitive almost ghostly vocals and you're in a trance.
Anaan Bushnag
This is one of the most underrated songs ever
Thank you youtube for recommending this masterpiece to me
