My Dreams
David Donatien/Yael Naïm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a dream in my head
Just waiting for the day
Just waiting for the day
To be born

I've got a seed in my hand
Just looking for a way
Just looking for a way

To grow strong

I cross the water, I cross the land
I let other people with me die
And I search for answers, wandering to find
A way to reveal the lies behind

I have the strongest feeling that I should try
I got to know myself now I could cry
This is the end of pretending that I know why
I have to lose myself, I no longer try to hide

I've got a story to tell
Just waiting for the day
Just waiting for the day
To be told

I've got this anger and pain
Just waiting for my shame
Just waiting for my blame
To get old

I saw some children playing with guns
I can't believe what we've become
And I found some letters written by God
They were signed with our own blood

I have the strongest feeling that I disguise
I got to know myself now I could die
This is the end of the way that led me to life
Now I might lose myself but no longer need to hide

So I might lose myself
I no longer
No longer need to hide

Now I have this strongest feeling that I decide
I got to know me better then I could die
This is the end of the way that led me to life
Now I might lose myself but no longer need
No longer need

No longer need
I no longer need to hide

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the beautiful song "My Dreams" by Yael Naïm revolve around one's innermost thoughts and feelings that one buries deep down inside themselves. The song's opening verse suggests a dream that is yet to be realized, symbolizing a deeply rooted desire that is waiting to be fulfilled. The second verse symbolizes the journey of growth and development, as the seed waits for a chance to thrive and grow strong. These two lines beautifully convey the message of hope and perseverance, that no matter how challenging life gets, one should hold onto their dreams and never give up.

As the song progresses, the lyrics take a sharp turn towards the realities of the world we live in. Yael sings about crossing water and land, but unfortunately, other people die along the way. This may symbolize the harsh realities of life, where people face many challenges and hardships that change them and those around them. The next few lines also suggest a search for truth and an understanding of the world, where one tries to find a way to reveal the lies behind through introspection.

The last verse of the song is particularly powerful; it suggests that the singer had been hiding a part of herself from the world that she chooses to lose now. The lyrics denote a sense of liberation and courage where the singer no longer needs to hide her true self. She's ready to face the world as she is, even if that means losing parts of herself along the way. The song ends on a positive note, with the message that no matter what one has to go through, they will find their way to the truth and be free.

"My Dreams"

You’ll never say it’s true
You want it all for you
Inside you know you do
And I’ve been locked inside
But help me (to) understand
You said you want my hand
You wanted to be friends
But now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams
For yourself... for yourself

You taught me how to pray
You said that it will pay
You wanted me to stay
And I’m still blind to see
How you are playing with my fears
That you create my tears
But only after years
It’s now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams

If somehow, I should die
Will you ever wonder why?
I am real but you can’t feel
All that you erase and kill
I will fly away from here
All you took will disappear
Was it my dream?

You said you want my land
Now I cannot pretend
It’s time for me to stand
As hard as it can be
I’m ready now to see
I’m going to be free
Cause now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams

You said you want my hand
Now, I cannot pretend
It’s time for me to stand
As hard as it can be
I’m ready now to see
I’m going to be free
