We decided that we should try and never do two songs that sound similar and, in the process, developed a sound that’s filled many different influences and genres, yet keeping a familiar pop-punk identity" ...To be honest, it was more like, "Three friends had a revelation and realised that they all played instruments, so they made a band. And named themselves after a map in COD4."

Dream Within A Dream
Crossfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On to my heart and on my soul
Thoughts of heavy doubts to know
What is the life, where am I
Now the fear in my heart is rising
To manage my entire life
Never it's leaving
Stuck on my heart
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
To open up a hole to take a breath
To walk for light once more in life
Life it seems such a burden
That I could carry no more
I've tried to keep on living still
I've really tried but I did not know
How could I stand this pain inside
Me and sorrow, side by side
Seems like holding tight
As hard as I should have died
Freedom to my soul I demand
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
To open up a hole to take a breath
To walk for light once more in life
So tell me how could I wake
From this dream inside the dream
And so tell me how should I stand
This pain that grows inside me
So tell me how should I yearn for
After all, that I've never leaved
And cry for those which I have lost
If there are none all through my life
I should have asked to myself then
Have I ever lived or
Vanishing hopes, vanishing life
Night after night
Freedom to my soul I demand
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
To open up a hole to take a breath
To walk for light once more in life
So tell me how could I wake
From this dream inside the dream
And so tell me how should I stand
This pain that grows inside me
Everyone is talking about something
Hopes and love they say always be there
Inside the darkest holes of your heart
They lie but you have to trust and let them out
Why I can not be just like anyone else
Living these truths and pain as they came into my life
Why it feels me like I am going under
Day by day encouraging me to give my soul eternal freedom...
Angel of death, will you take my hand
And please ease my pain
These are the last words that I'll say
Feels like so close to the blue sky
I'm so glad to be that near
Better can I get taste of myself
Passion and the admiration
Such happiness for the first time
In my life, in my life, in my life
Freedom to my soul I demand
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
To open up a hole to take a breath
To walk for light once more in life
So tell me how could I wake
From this dream inside the dream
And so tell me how should I stand
This pain that grows inside me
So tell me how could I wake
From this dream inside the dream
And so tell me how should I stand
This pain that grows inside me
The lyrics of Crossfire's song "Dream Within A Dream" reflect the internal struggle and pain experienced by the singer. The opening lines set the somber tone, as the night and darkness fall upon their heart and soul, leading them to question the meaning of life and their own existence. The fear gradually intensifies, becoming a constant presence that consumes their entire being.
The singer desperately yearns for freedom, both for their soul and from the weight of their burdens. They speak of taking guns in hand, metaphorically representing their attempts to break free from the suffocating emotions and find a glimmer of light in their life once again. The lyrics imply that life has become an overwhelming burden, and the singer has tried to continue living, though uncertain of how to bear the pain and sorrow that persistently accompany them.
The dream motif recurs throughout the song, symbolizing a state of longing and escapism. They question how they can awaken from the dream within a dream, implying that their current reality feels like a never-ending nightmare. The pain they feel grows inside them, and they grapple with how they should endure it. The lyrics reveal a sense of hopelessness as they contemplate whether they have truly experienced life or merely existed in a state of fading hopes and vanishing dreams.
The song also touches on the themes of loneliness and the challenges of connecting with others. The singer wonders why they cannot live like everyone else, experiencing hope and love. They feel as though they are sinking deeper into despair each day, with their soul yearning for eternal freedom. The mention of the angel of death adds a bleak undertone, as they contemplate the idea of finding release and relief through death.
Amidst the pain and struggles, there is a glimmer of hope and happiness that the singer experiences for the first time in their life. They express gratitude for being close to the "blue sky," which symbolizes a sense of joy and liberation. They emphasize the importance of self-discovery and finding passion and admiration within oneself.
In summary, "Dream Within A Dream" serves as an exploration of the singer's internal battles, their longing for freedom, and their search for meaning and happiness amid pain and sorrow. The lyrics evoke a sense of anguish and uncertainty while highlighting the enduring human desire for light and solace.

Once more the night and the dark fall
The feeling of darkness and despair overwhelms me again
On to my heart and on my soul
It consumes my emotions and inner being
Thoughts of heavy doubts to know
I am burdened with uncertainty
What is the life, where am I
I question the purpose of my existence and my place in the world
Now the fear in my heart is rising
Fear grows within me
To manage my entire life
To regain control over my life
Never it's leaving
The fear lingers persistently
Stuck on my heart
It weighs heavily on my heart
Freedom to my soul I demand
I yearn for liberation and release
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
I've faced countless challenges and battles
To open up a hole to take a breath
Seeking a moment of respite amidst the chaos
To walk for light once more in life
To find hope and happiness again
Life it seems such a burden
Life feels overwhelmingly heavy
That I could carry no more
I feel incapable of bearing the weight
I've tried to keep on living still
Despite the challenges, I've attempted to persevere
I've really tried but I did not know
But I lacked the understanding and knowledge
How could I stand this pain inside
How to endure the emotional pain within
Me and sorrow, side by side
Sorrow accompanies me constantly
Seems like holding tight
It feels as if I'm holding on desperately
As hard as I should have died
Almost as if facing death itself
So tell me how should I yearn for
How can I long for something
After all, that I've never leaved
That I have never truly experienced
And cry for those which I have lost
And mourn the losses I've faced
If there are none all through my life
If there have been no significant connections in my life
I should have asked to myself then
I should have questioned myself earlier
Have I ever lived or
Have I truly experienced life or
Vanishing hopes, vanishing life
Hope and life slipping away
Night after night
Recurring continuously
Everyone is talking about something
Others discuss various topics
Hopes and love they say always be there
They speak of the enduring presence of hope and love
Inside the darkest holes of your heart
Even in the deepest despair within one's heart
They lie but you have to trust and let them out
Though it may appear false, it's important to trust and express those emotions
Why I can not be just like anyone else
Why am I unable to conform to societal norms
Living these truths and pain as they came into my life
Accepting and experiencing the realities and hardships of life
Why it feels me like I am going under
Why do I feel as though I am sinking
Day by day encouraging me to give my soul eternal freedom...
Every day motivating me to seek eternal liberation for my soul
Angel of death, will you take my hand
Addressing the concept of death, pleading for relief
And please ease my pain
Requesting respite from the agony
These are the last words that I'll say
Expressing a sense of finality and desperation
Feels like so close to the blue sky
It feels as if liberation is within reach
I'm so glad to be that near
Eager and relieved to be so close
Better can I get taste of myself
Gaining a better understanding and appreciation of my own essence
Passion and the admiration
Feeling intense emotions and admiration
Such happiness for the first time
Experiencing genuine happiness for the first time
In my life, in my life, in my life
Within my own existence
So tell me how could I wake
Please explain how I can awaken
From this dream inside the dream
Escape from this nested state of dreaming
And so tell me how should I stand
Guide me on how to withstand
This pain that grows inside me
The increasing pain within me
Everyone is talking about something
Again, others engage in conversations
Hopes and love they say always be there
Reiterating the enduring presence of hope and love
Inside the darkest holes of your heart
Within the depths of one's heart
They lie but you have to trust and let them out
Although it may seem untrue, trust and express those emotions
Why I can not be just like anyone else
Continuing to question my inability to conform
Living these truths and pain as they came into my life
Enduring the truths and suffering that come my way
Why it feels me like I am going under
Persistently feeling overwhelmed and submerged
Day by day encouraging me to give my soul eternal freedom...
Each day motivating me to seek eternal liberation
Angel of death, will you take my hand
Once again addressing the concept of death
And please ease my pain
Beseeching for pain relief
These are the last words that I'll say
Emphasizing the gravity of these final words
Feels like so close to the blue sky
Sensing the proximity to boundless possibilities
I'm so glad to be that near
Expressing gratitude for being on the doorstep of liberation
Better can I get taste of myself
Enhancing my understanding and appreciation of my identity
Passion and the admiration
Experiencing intense emotions and admiration
Such happiness for the first time
Experiencing unprecedented joy
In my life, in my life, in my life
Within the context of my own existence
Freedom to my soul I demand
Asserting my longing for personal freedom
Hundred times guns I've taken in hand
Having faced countless battles
To open up a hole to take a breath
Striving for moments of respite
To walk for light once more in life
Seeking renewed hope and happiness
So tell me how could I wake
Requesting guidance on awakening
From this dream inside the dream
Escaping the recursive state of dreaming
And so tell me how should I stand
Guiding me on how to endure
This pain that grows inside me
The intensifying pain within me
