Cried To Dream
Bullitt Lyrics

Doro
The singer's address to someone named Doro. It may be a reference to Doro Pesch, the German heavy metal singer who also goes by the name Doro.

I Had Too Much To Dream
The singer is asserting that he/she had a very intense dream experience.

Last night your shadow
The singer is referring to something that happened in a dream where someone or something’s shadow appeared.

Fell upon my lonely dream
The dream was one in which the artist was feeling particularly lonely, at perhaps the onset of a breakup or deep emotional pain.

There's something in the air
In the dream, the singer experiences an unsettling feeling that is hard to explain.

I knew it wasn't real
Although experiencing deep emotions and believed it to be real, the singer is aware that it was only a dream, and that it should not be taken seriously.

The night was filled with love
Despite the unsettling feeling, the singer remembers that the dream was filled with love, possibly indicating that the dream was of a happier time in the singer's life.

The way it used to be
The song seems to suggest that the dream was one of nostalgia, where the singer is recalling happier moments in the past.

And then your hand reached out
In the midst of the singer's loneliness, there is a moment of comfort where the subject of the dream reaches out a hand to help.

To comfort me
The person in the dream is attempting to alleviate the feelings of loneliness and despair.

Came the dawn
The night comes to an end, and as the sun rises, so does the feeling of despair for the singer.

You were gone
The person in the dream has left and is no longer present, leaving the singer to deal with the pain and loneliness on their own.

Chorus
The chorus of the song affirms the idea that the singer had too much to dream of and is not ready to cope with the reality of the world.

The room stood still
The singer is still consumed by the dream even after waking up.

Can feel the words you said
The singer still vividly remembers the words spoken by the person in the dream.

And i still see your image
The singer’s mind is still closely tied to the dream and his/her memories of the person.

Racin' through my head
The singer is haunted by the thoughts of the person and the words that they said in the dream.

You touched my heart
The person had a meaningful impact on the singer's life or memory, symbolizing the depth of their inner pain.

Could feel your tenderness
The singer remembers the tenderness or kindness the person in the dream had, perhaps indicating a sense of longing or unmet emotional needs

You seemed so real
Although the figure in the dream is gone, whether positive or negative, they still feel very present, almost as if they were real and not imagined.

Just when you held out your hand
The moment of comfort when the person extended their hand is replayed in the singer's mind, serving as a reminder that causes them to feel more pain.

Came the dawn
The rise of the sun represents the returning reality of normal life.

You were gone, gone, gone
The pain and loneliness that began with the dream and persisted upon waking has not subsided but, in fact, remains as powerful as ever.

Chorus
The chorus of the song echoes the idea that the dream was too much to handle and that the singer is not yet prepared to face the new day's light.
