Visions
Dawn of Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the sun is rolling
Over the horizon
That I can almost touch it
I reach out my hand for the light
That lets my heart chant

I have the feeling like being torn apart
When my pleasure and desire meet
Cries crawl up my throat, but
My mind tells met to swallow

Let me enjoy these moments
Until the last second is gone
Until the clouds have come
'Cause they'll take it all away

This sweet passion that you feed
What tenderness a mind can feel
Each time you hit a nail




Into my hand
I want to beg for another

When the sun is rolling
As the sun sets in the horizon


Over the horizon
In the distance beyond us


That I can almost touch it
It seems so close, yet remains out of reach


I reach out my hand for the light
I attempt to grasp the immensity of opportunity


That lets my heart chant
I draw upon the energy within that exalts me to take a chance


I have the feeling like being torn apart
As I venture beyond my comfort zone I feel discomfort


When my pleasure and desire meet
As what I truly want and my immediate satisfaction merge


Cries crawl up my throat, but
An emotional impulse rises up inside me but


My mind tells me to swallow
I convince myself to resist the impulse


Let me enjoy these moments
Allow me to fully savor and take pleasure in these rare moments


Until the last second is gone
Before the chance to experience it fully passes


Until the clouds have come
Before the moment fades into obscurity


'Cause they'll take it all away
The passing of time will eventually erase what is currently vivid


This sweet passion that you feed
The emotions that you inspire in me


What tenderness a mind can feel
The delicacy and depth of the mind's sensations


Each time you hit a nail
Whenever you cause me pain or insecurity


Into my hand
In the most sensitive and vulnerable part of me


I want to beg for another
I want to persevere and overcome what creates my discomfort
