Dream
Bishop Briggs Lyrics

Crying eyes, broken bells
A sad situation where something that should bring joy (bells) is instead broken and tears are shed.

Back in course, no one tells
Returning to a familiar path without anyone acknowledging or discussing the pain and suffering that led to that path in the first place.

Down we go, wish me well
Descending into an uncertain or difficult situation with the hope of success.

I don't know where we fell
Uncertainty about the point where things started to go wrong.

Oh, I had a dream that you couldn't hear me screaming
A feeling of being helpless as the one person who could help refuses to listen to cries for assistance.

Trying to tell you everything but it wouldn't stop you leaving
A sense of powerlessness as direct communication fails to keep a person from leaving.

I wanna wake up where your love is
A strong desire to be in a place where love is abundant.

'Cause your love is always waking mine
This person's love is so powerful and vibrant that it awakens and inspires the artist's own love.

I wanna break down where your heart gets
A desire to be with a person who has a strong sense of emotion and passion in order to experience that same strength.

So torn it's almost breaking mine
The intense emotions that come with being in such a relationship can be difficult to manage and may threaten to be overwhelming.

I wanna lay here, lost and bitter
Even though it may lead to negative emotions, there is a desire to be close to the person who inspires such strong emotions.

So long, I feel like I could die
The artist is willing to endure intense feelings, no matter how painful, to remain close to the person who inspires them.

I wanna tell you what my truth is
The desire to share one's true self and emotions with the person they love.

But it's buried down inside
Despite the desire to share, there is a reluctance to reveal personal feelings and information.

Shining light, show and tell
An opportunity to share one's true self and feelings is presented, but it may be difficult to accept it.

Don't be scared, truth is hell
Sharing deeply personal truths can be extremely difficult and may cause a great deal of emotional pain.

They say that secrets make you sick and I should know
Keeping one's true self and feelings hidden can be emotionally harmful and can even have physical consequences.

Just promise me that if I tell you you will go
The reluctance to share and the fear of being hurt are so great that the singer needs to feel reassured that sharing will not push the other person away.

It's buried down inside
Despite the need to share one's true self and feelings, they remain hidden and difficult to express.
