Before I Go
Day/Four Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase
Your beautiful face before me.
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase
Your beautiful face before me.
The lyrics to Day/Four's song "Before I Go" speak of an intense longing for someone who seems to invade the singer's dreams no matter where they are. The opening lines of "I see your face before me, crowding my every dream" set the tone for the rest of the song. The person's face appears so often in the singer's mind that they have become their only theme. Despite the distance and the fact that the person may not even be aware of the singer's feelings, they persistently haunt their thoughts.
The lyrics suggest that if the person could share the same feeling or at least see the singer in their dreams, it would become less tragic. The singer expresses a desperate wish that their love could be felt as haunting and unyielding as their visions of the person. However, this seems impossible as the person remains oblivious to their passionate feelings. The final lines of "Would that my love could haunt you so, knowing I want you so, I can't erase your beautiful face before me" speak to the idea that one's thoughts and feelings cannot be erased, even when they may be inconvenient or even painful.
Overall, the lyrics of "Before I Go" express the idea that one's thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming, especially when they are directed towards someone who may not reciprocate those emotions. It highlights the pain and longing that can come with unrequited love and how difficult it can be to forget someone who has become such a constant presence in one's mind.
