Dream
Before Their Eyes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh!
I feel the light is fading
Our time is dissipating
I need to find
My way to you.

Will someone tell me what's the truth.
And when the storm is coming
We're scared, but we're not running.

You're all I need to pull me through.

I've got a feeling
I'm chasing a dream
I feel so far
Am I even close. x2

Whoa!
Oh! x2
I've got a feeling that I'm Not gonna find you.

And that's what
Whoa!
Oh! x2
Scares me the most.

And if I reach out to you
Can you feel me too
And I've always
Wanted this.

But somehow
Somehow!
I can't see it true. x2

And now it's dark and shady
My mind is hazing crazy
They say I'm insane
But you always seem to pull me through.

I've got a feeling
I'm chasing a dream
I feel so far
Am I even close. x2

Whoa!
Oh! x2
I've got a feeling that I'm not gonna find you.

And that's what
Whoa!
Oh! x2
Scares me the most.

Well they say I'm crazy
That she's chasing you
I need the feeling you always seem to pull me through
I need to find my way to you.

I've got a feeling
I'm chasing a dream
I feel so far
Am I even close. x2

Whoa!
Oh! x2
I've got a feeling that I'm not gonna find you.

And that's what
Whoa!




Oh! x2
Scares me the most.

The lyrics of Before Their Eyes’ song Dream suggest the singer’s inner conflict and fear of never reaching their desired destination. The song opens with the singer expressing their fear that time is running out and they need to find their way to the one they seek. They question what’s true and ask for guidance. The following line “when the storm is coming, we’re scared, but we’re not running” depicts the adversities they are facing, yet they are not giving up. Then they confess that they need the person they are searching for to pull them through.


The chorus is repeated twice, with the singer expressing their frustration that they’ve been chasing a dream and feel lost, wondering if they are even close. They fear not finding the one they’re looking for despite giving their all, which “scares them the most”. The next verse dives deeper into their doubts as they describe their situation as “dark and shady”, further questioning their sanity as they state that others believe they’re insane for chasing them. However, the one they seek always manages to pull them through.


The song ends with the singer insisting that they’re not crazy and they need to find their way to the person they’re searching for. The repeated chorus and bridge show that their fear remains and they’re still uncertain if they will ever reach their goal.


Overall, Dream is a song about perseverance in the face of obstacles and fear. It explores the inner turmoil of the struggling individual, trying to navigate through life, reach their goals, and overcome their fears.

this band is impressive, same with David's part in it. I definitely am going to buy this album.

I've been listening to these guys since their first album and I have no clue why they aren't headlining shows or super popular yet. o:

I've loved BC for a few years now, and have recently discovered BTE. The fact that this collab even exists makes me very happy :D

KawaiiRobot

BC's part... that's what they would sound like as a hardcore band. I'm not sure I'd love them as much as I do now... :/

wolfkid
