Dreamer
Author & Finisher Lyrics

A thousand city streetlights
The vast expanse of city streetlights shows how lost and overwhelmed the singer feels.

With nowhere to call my home
The singer feels like they have no true home, no place of safety or comfort.

If I wasn't a dreamer myself, I'd be letting them carry me close
The singer recognizes that their dreams are the only thing keeping them from being swallowed up by the city and its pressures.

They were calling me in the night
The city seems to be calling out to the artist, beckoning them to stay, but they are resistant to this call.

I can still hear their screams
The artist is haunted by the dark and desperate cries of those who have lost their way in the city.

They were lost, haunted memories
The city is full of ghosts, of people who've lost themselves in its endless frenzy and chaos.

Of their broken-hearted dreams
The dreams of these city-dwellers are no longer whole or healthy; they've been shattered and fragmented by the harsh reality of the city's pressures.

Ghost of the past (Let's light up the night)
The artist wants to confront the demons of their past and illuminate them with the light of their present dreams.

Don't let a single dream go unseen (x2)
The artist urges themselves and others to keep hope alive, to never give up on their dreams, no matter how difficult life may get.

It's time to say goodbye
The artist has come to a point where they know they have to leave the city and move on to something new.

And let me dreams carry me away
The singer is putting all their hope and faith into their dreams, trusting that they will guide them toward a more fulfilling life.

To a place I know, a place called home
The artist longs for a return to a sense of peace and security, a place where they know they belong.

These city streets of gray
The city, once teeming with promise, now feels dull and lifeless to the singer.

I can't ignore this
The singer cannot go on living their life without facing the struggles and fears that haunt them from their past.

I've been dreaming of this for far too long
The singer has been hoping and dreaming for change and growth for what feels like eternity and needs to take action now.

Of this ghost that still haunts me (x2)
The artist is still struggling with the past and the painful memories and experiences it has left behind.
