Dream On
Blessthefall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows

Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
Is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away, yeah

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until the dream come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear

Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dream On" by Blessthefall are a tribute to the power of dreams and perseverance through difficult times. The first verse speaks to the inevitability of the passage of time and the way in which we must all pay our dues in life. The singer looks in the mirror and sees lines on his face getting clearer, representing the physical and emotional toll that life takes on all of us. The second verse suggests that half of the singer's life has been spent learning from both fools and sages, emphasizing the importance of gaining wisdom from all experiences, whether positive or negative.

The chorus encourages listeners to sing for the year, for the laugh, and for the tears. Singer Beau Bokan invites listeners to join him in singing, emphasizing the communal nature of music and the way in which it can bring people together. The repetition of the phrase "dream on" throughout the song reinforces the idea that no matter how difficult life may be, holding onto our dreams can give us the strength to persevere. The final lines, "maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away," suggest that we should make the most of every day and hold onto our dreams with all our might, as we never know what the future may hold.

Line by Line Meaning

Every time that I look in the mirror
Whenever I glimpse at myself in the mirror

All these lines on my face getting clearer
The aging signs on my face are becoming more evident

The past is gone
The history is left behind and cannot be changed

It went by, like dusk to dawn
It passed just like a transition from sunset to sunrise

Isn't that the way
Isn't that how things work

Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Everyone has to deal with the consequences of their actions

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Yes, I understand that no one possesses the answer

Where it comes and where it goes
Where life starts and where it ends is a mystery

I know it's everybody's sin
I know that losing is considered a sin by the society

You got to lose to know how to win
You need to experience loss to understand how to gain victory

Half my life
Half of my existence

Is in books' written pages
Is documented on the pages of literature

Lived and learned from fools and
I have endured and learned from unintelligent people

From sages
And from experts in various fields

You know it's true
It is a fact that cannot be denied

All the things come back to you
All the consequences of your deeds shall return to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Let us sing together, for the sake of the year

Sing for the laugh, sing for the tears
Sing for both happiness and sadness

Sing with me, if it's just for today
Join me in singing, even if it's only for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away, yeah
Perhaps tomorrow, God may take you to eternity

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Continue to dream and hope

Dream until the dream come true
Never surrender your dreams until they are accomplished

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Keep envisioning a better future

Dream until your dream comes true
Dream steadfastly until the fruition of your aspirations

Sing with me, sing for the year
Let us sing in unison for the year

Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing for both joy and sorrow

Sing with me, if it's just for today
Join me in singing, even if it's merely for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Perhaps tomorrow, God may take us to the afterlife

Sing with me, sing for the year
Synchronize vocals with me for the year

Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing for both mirth and sadness

Sing with me, if it's just for today
Sing together, even if it's only for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away...
Perhaps soon, God may call us to his presence.

[Verse 1]
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

[Bridge]
Half my life's
In books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
And all these things come back to you

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true

Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on

[Chorus x2]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord take you away
