Delain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stream through me
Let me dream
Out of this world, out of this world
[Chorus:]
I cannot sleep
Sedate me
Animate this soul
I'm still following the pain
Daylight lucidity
Beam on me
Come to me
Into my sleep, into my sleep
[Chorus]
Don't try to wake what is unreal
The secrets only you must seal
You hold the key of what I need
Unlock the door that will reveal
[Chorus]
