A Dream
Derrière Le Miroir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drifting away
into the silence
out of this time
it is just a dream
I see you gliding
dark as a raven
hold me - kiss me
there is a kind of crying
hold me - kiss me
now
it is just a dream
I stop my bleedings
only with senses
that could be mine
it is just a dream
I hear you laughing
bright as an angel
and strong as the night
hold me - kiss me
there is a kind of crying
hold me - kiss me
now
Derrière Le Miroir's song "A Dream" is a beautifully crafted ballad that explores the power of dreams, the many emotions they evoke, and the longing for human connection that they represent. The song begins with the lyrics "it is just a dream, I'm drifting away / into the silence, out of this time", which create a sense of detachment from reality and the mundane. The dream world is often a place where we can escape our problems and enter a realm of infinite possibility, and the singer seems to be doing just that.
As the song progresses, we hear the intimate details of the singer's dream. They see someone they care about, gliding "dark as a raven between all those eyes". This person is a source of comfort and solace in the midst of an uncertain world. The chorus repeats the lines "hold me - kiss me / there is a kind of crying / hold me - kiss me / now", which express a deep yearning for physical connection and emotional support.
As the dream continues, the singer experiences moments of joy (hearing the person they care about laughing "bright as an angel") and pain (stopping their own bleedings "only with senses that could be mine"). The dream world is full of contradictions and mixed emotions, and "A Dream" captures this beautifully.
