Dreaming
Denigrate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lost yourself, could no longer hide
Beside the sleep, the nightmares came
Along yourself, you could no longer hide
Million nights in grief I've
Spent thinking
Those nights went by, I'm still
27 years, so much is pain
For it's yours, suicide in vain
Beside the sleep, the nightmares came
No matter how you tried, you could no longer hide
We floated around in a sea of loneliness
And now you're gone
The angels took you over the wall of sleep
And now you're gone
The song "Dreaming" by Denigrate is a heartfelt ballad about someone who has been hiding and losing themselves for 27 years. The first two lines "27 years you hide, you kept aside / You lost yourself, could no longer hide" suggest that someone has been keeping their true self hidden away for almost three decades. It could be interpreted as a feeling of being trapped in one's own thoughts and emotions, unable to express oneself fully, and realizing that this has caused deep pain.
The song also touches on themes of grief, loss, and suicide. The lines "27 years, so much is pain / For it's yours, suicide in vain" reveal the intense suffering that the person has felt for many years, which culminated in a tragic suicide attempt. The lyrics also mention nightmares, possibly alluding to the trauma and deep emotional scars that the person had to endure.
Despite the darkness in the lyrics, there is also a ray of hope. The phrase "Those nights went by, I'm still dreaming" seems to suggest that the person is still holding onto dreams and that they are not entirely defeated by their struggles. The final lines "And now you're gone / The angels took you over the wall of sleep / And now you're gone" evoke a sense of release, as if the person has finally found peace after a long and painful journey.
Overall, "Dreaming" is a deeply moving song that explores themes of pain, loss, and hope. Denigrate's lyrics approach these difficult subjects with honesty and sensitivity, creating a poignant and thought-provoking piece of music.
