In My Dreams
C S N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i cannot undestand
why this happend to me
the definition of insanity
is close to see

many others
trying to learn
small things

the meaning of a journey
is like a foot dirty
simple is the sun
dont stop to run

mountain looks high
jump to the fight
moon is too soon
i hope this not a lie

the demonstration of fellings
stuck in my head
i didn't' buy that
they just still there

the conversation in the ceiling
is about my cat
i swear
this is even fair

i dont know where
you just go and
what you become after this

i think i still stuck in my mind
on my own world
that i created alone


we feel we dream
we see we scream
it's all about your life
and how you get this right
believe me that's fine


i keep stuck in my mind




growing and growing
and growing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "In My Dreams" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash speak to the idea of feeling lost and confused. The singer cannot understand why certain things have happened to them, and they feel as though they are on the brink of insanity. They mention that many others are also attempting to learn and make sense of small things, pointing to a sense of shared confusion.


The lyrics then move into a discussion of the meaning of life, represented by a journey that can sometimes leave us feeling dirty and tired. The singer urges us not to stop running in the face of obstacles, to jump into the fray and fight for what we believe in. However, they also express a sense of uncertainty about whether they can trust their own perceptions, questioning whether the moon is truly too soon and hoping that reality is not a lie.


The lyrics continue to explore the theme of confusion, as the singer discusses their internal mental landscape. They feel as though their feelings are stuck inside their head, and they cannot make sense of them. Even something as seemingly mundane as a conversation about a cat can become overwhelming and confusing. The song ends with a sense of isolation, as the singer feels as though they are trapped in their own mind and their own world.
