Just A Dream
Call It Home Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just face the facts, you give in way too easily
A little fortune and fame, not like I mattered anyway
Is this everything
Is this everything you hoped it would be
You took this away from me
Just do what you can to escape from your past
Stop waiting for something that you'll never have
You lost control, you sold your soul
And now we all know
What have we become
Have you forgotten everything I've done for you
Run around in circles
I'm not chasing this dream anymore
How can I sleep when all that's in my head
Is that I'm on thin ice
I'm hanging on by a thread
Honestly I don't know what we've become
I've never seen you like this
And I'm so burnt out
And I'm so burnt out
Just do what you can to escape from your past
Stop waiting for something that you'll never have
You lost control, you sold your soul
And now we all know
Oh no I'm not chasing, this time wasted
No I'm not chasing this dream anymore
Well there's nothing left, this has to end
Yeah it's time for us to settle the score
I never thought you'd turn this around on me
Every time you talked to me, you were only lying




I swear I'll never end up like you
Every single word they said, went straight to your head

Overall Meaning

In "Just A Dream", Call It Home touches on the theme of chasing one's dreams and how it can come at a great cost. The song suggests that the person in question has given up all they once held dear, including their integrity, for a shot at fame and fortune. The lyrics express the frustration of watching someone close to you change beyond recognition and become someone you hardly know. The singer seems to be trying to convince the subject to break free from the cycle of chasing an unattainable dream and embrace reality. He urges them to stop dwelling on the past and the things they'll never have and instead focus on what they can do to move forward.


The lines "what have we become" and "have you forgotten everything I've done for you" suggest that there was a time when the two were closer, and the singer had supported the subject in the pursuit of their dreams. However, that support seems to have been abused and taken for granted. The bridge where the singer declares "I never thought you'd turn this around on me, every time you talked to me, you were only lying, I swear I'll never end up like you," throws more light on how the subject's transformation has affected their relationship with the singer. Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsessing over one's dreams too much and losing sight of what really matters.
