Night Rider
DreamWake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been dreaming in another world where I can be away
I say I'm falling to another low and you should really stay
But not tonight, you placed my feelings on the shelf
Another lie to feed into the flame eventually
Don't fall asleep on me

Oh, how did you fail to mention your lack of commitment?
Leave me here to burn
Forced to face your inflictions and dance with the demons you call home
I don't know you anymore, wish I could make it to the door
Remain to sit here in the flames, your life means everything to me

You're breaking down the walls (All the love I gave, gone in an instant)
That hold me through it all (You've strayed so far away)
This tunnel vision guides me through the storm
A life reborn
Another victim to reform

Give me time to understand just all the faults you think I have
I'm a monster and a menace who pretends to see your decency
I don't know you anymore, wish I could make it to the door
Remain to sit here in the flames, your life means everything to me

Far and far away where you can't see




lies a sacred place, escape from reality
Into the setting sun, forgetting the life that makes me come undone
