In My Dreams
Bobby T. & the Slackers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder who you lay next to at night
And every time You think of me
I wonder if the memories are quite alright
I know you won't believe it
But this time I really mean it
Cuz I'm sorry that I never let you in
There's just something about you
Just go without two cents of mine
How do I find where to begin
Fly
You'll make your way through time
You'll make your way to me
I miss you so dearly
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll hold hands in fairy lands
And make our plans to leave the world behind
We'll travel through the milkyway
I'll cherish every moment cuz you're mine again
Spend all our time together
I couldn't spend it any better
You're my reason my forever
Stay with me
Your smile is astounding
I can feel my heart is pounding out my chest
Alarms are sounding
You're my dream
Fly
You'll make your way through time
You'll make your way back home
My wings are made of stone
So I wake up alone
My dreams are filled with laughter
Til I wake the morning after
The lyrics to "In My Dreams" by Bobby T. & the Slackers are evocative and emotional, telling the story of a person who is haunted by the memory of someone they loved deeply but who did not reciprocate their love in the same way. The repeated refrain of "I never understood why it never came from you" is both mournful and angry, conveying the sense of betrayal and confusion that often accompanies unrequited love.
The lyric "You make me roll in my grave when I am dead and gone" suggests that the singer feels as though their love has killed them, or that they are already dead to the person they loved. Similarly, the line "I'm so far from the answers to questions that I never seen the light of day" implies that the singer is lost and directionless without the other person in their life. Despite this pain and grief, the singer wishes the best for the person they loved and encourages them to find their own way, acknowledging that they cannot continue to suffer for the other person's sake.
Overall, "In My Dreams" is a powerful and moving exploration of love, loss, and the ways in which relationships can shape our lives and identities.

You make me roll in my grave
Your actions make me feel dead and buried before I even die
When I am dead and gone
After I'm no longer alive
I never understood silence
I didn't grasp the concept of not communicating
Until you were gone
Until you left my life
Now every second
At all times, without a break
I sit and wait for the truth
I hope to learn the reality of the situation
I never understood why
I wasn't able to comprehend the reason
It never came from you
You didn't provide me with the answer
And now I'm out here
I'm on the other side now
Standing on the other side
I'm not with you anymore
And there's nothing to do
I don't know how to proceed
I hope you'll find your own way
I wish you well in finding your own path
Cause I can't see this through
I'm unable to continue like this
Cause it was always you
You were always the reason for this situation
When I am not around
When I'm away and unavailable
And I'm so far from the answers
I'm still unsure about everything
To questions that I never seen the light of day
To inquiries that remain unanswered

BOBBY T I really like yer band!! but , but friend, you must PAY ME if you keep telling people I play on your records...I AM THE SLACKERS BOBBY (for 30 yrs)... if you wanna make a record together lets do it... but I look up MY BAND & always see you... it confuses people, they tell me. Just spell it different at least... otherwise I'll start putting out experimental noise disco rave trap albums as "Bobby T"... you wouldn't like that right???
@joeymcg3652
This band doesn’t exist anymore they already changed their name
@victheslacker6536
@Joey McG well, maybe put something in the header of the YouTube that says "not the band from NYC"...it's just annoying at this point... I mean 290 views is no biggie...a cassette release? I'm sure doesn't mean a lot of royalties... but C'mon... do I sign my letters Joey McG? no... I don't.
@victheslacker6536
and honestly, I like the music... so it's not that
@joeymcg3652
@vic the slacker yea I understand where youre coming from I remember the singer from this band talking about him changing the name because of you. so they already did something about it really. I can change the name for you if that will stop your fans confusion
