Dreams of You
BRENNAN SAVAGE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need some time to rest my head
I lay my back down on your bed
Down on your bed and you'll find me dead

I need some time to rest my head
I lay my back down on your bed
I start to nod and I pray to God
That I won't wake up and you'll find me dead
But there's some times that change my mind
You get me high, make me feel alive
On faded nights when I feel I'm crazy
You're the only one who saves me from myself
I tear you down, but you help me grow
I broke your heart, but you still won't go
Just chew me up, spit me out
'Cause I deserve to feel my bones break

Don't wanna be the one letting you down
I need to leave, you won't let me today
I try to scream, but I can't make a sound
Guess that I really got nothing to say
Don't wanna be the one letting you down
I need to leave, you won't let me today
I try to scream, but I can't make a sound
Guess that I really got nothing to say
I guess that I really got nothing to say
I guess that I really got nothing to say
I guess that I really got nothing to say

I've been having dreams of you
Sleeping with someone that's not me
I don't know what to do
Our love will rot too early
I've been having dreams of you
Sleeping with someone that's not me
I don't know what to do
Our love will rot too early

I've been having dreams of you
Sleeping with someone that's not me




I don't know what to do
Our love will rot too early

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brennan Savage's "Dreams of You" express a deep sense of longing, confusion, and remorse. The singer first seeks refuge in their lover's bed, expressing a desire to rest their head and escape from the world. However, they also express a sense of self-destructiveness, wishing not to wake up and "be found dead." Throughout the song, they grapple with inner turmoil and confusion, acknowledging that their lover has helped them grow and change even as they tear down and break their heart. The singer recognizes that they have caused harm but cannot seem to stop themselves, wishing to feel their bones break as a form of punishment.


Despite this self-destructive behavior, the singer expresses a deep love for their partner and fears that they will let them down. They express a desire to leave, but their lover will not let them go. The singer tries to scream but cannot make a sound, feeling that they have nothing to say. The repetition of this verse emphasizes the singer's sense of stuckness and inability to move forward, despite their self-awareness of their destructive tendencies.


The final verse of the song brings a new layer of sadness as the singer admits to having dreams of their lover sleeping with someone else. They are unsure of what to do, but ultimately express a sense of resignation that their love will "rot too early." The song ends on a somber note, with a sense of unfulfilled longing and heartbreak.


Line by Line Meaning

I need some time to rest my head
I require some time to calm my mind


I lay my back down on your bed
I lie down on your bed to relax


Down on your bed and you'll find me dead
If you come to check me while I rest, I may appear dead


I start to nod and I pray to God
As I begin to doze off, I plead to God for protection


That I won't wake up and you'll find me dead
I hope that I do not wake up appearing dead to you


But there's some times that change my mind
Occasionally my thoughts change


You get me high, make me feel alive
Your presence elevates my mood and makes me feel alive


On faded nights when I feel I'm crazy
During dark and confusing moments when my emotions seem irrational


You're the only one who saves me from myself
You are the only one who can rescue me from my negative thoughts


I tear you down, but you help me grow
I criticize and hurt you, but your response helps me learn and develop


I broke your heart, but you still won't go
Although I have hurt you deeply, you still choose to stay with me


Just chew me up, spit me out
I deserve to be treated poorly and discarded


'Cause I deserve to feel my bones break
I believe that I am deserving of physical harm and pain


Don't wanna be the one letting you down
I do not want to disappoint you


I need to leave, you won't let me today
I must depart, but you are preventing me from doing so


I try to scream, but I can't make a sound
I attempt to vocalize my frustration, but I am unable to


Guess that I really got nothing to say
I have nothing of value to contribute to this situation


I've been having dreams of you
I have been experiencing visions of you in my sleep


Sleeping with someone that's not me
In these dreams, you are intimate with another person besides myself


I don't know what to do
I am uncertain how to handle this situation


Our love will rot too early
Our relationship will not last as long as we had hoped

[Intro: Brennan Savage]
I need some time to rest my head
Lay my back down on your bed
Down on your bed
And you'll find me dead

[Verse 1: Brennan Savage]
I need some time to rest my head
I lay my back down on your bed
I start to nod and pray to God
That I won't wake up and you'll find me dead
But there's some times that change my mind
You get me high and you feel alive
On faded nights when I feel I'm crazy
You're the only one who saves me from myself
I tear you down, but you help me grow
I broke your heart, but you still won't go
Just chew me up and spit me out
'Cause I deserve to feel my bones break

[Verse 2: Killstation]
Don't wanna be the one letting you down
I need to leave, you won't let me today

Guess that I really got nothing to say
Don't wanna be the one letting you down
I need to leave, you won't let me today

I guess that I really got nothing to say
I guess that I really got nothing to say
I guess that I really got nothing to say

[Chorus: Killstation]
I've been having dreams of you
Sleeping with someone that's not me

Sleeping with someone that's not me
And I don't know what to do
Our love arrived too early

[Outro: Killstation]
I've been having dreams of you
Sleeping with someone that's not me
And I don't know what to do
Our love arrived too early
