They formed around 2008 and have released two EPs, Hope and Sails Set, Armada - EP, and one album, Heartbound. Hope was picked up by Australian's biggest hardcore label, Boomtown Records, and the band was invited to play on the Australian leg of the 2010 Take Action Tour alongside Attack Attack! and Pierce the Veil. Since then they have toured Australia with acts such as Avenged Sevenfold and internationally with acts such as Attack Attack!, The Ghost Inside and Sleeping With Sirens. Their debut album Heartbound was released in August 2011 through UNFD (AU, NZ), Rise Records (US, UK, EU), and Triple Vision Entertainment (JP). The first single released from the album was Downfall, through their official website and other digital distributors.
With the news that Dream On Dreamer would be playing Soundwave 2012, the band went into recording at the guitarist Callan's studio. The band then released a Vanessa Carlton cover of A Thousand Miles especially for the tour.
The band released the single, Midnight Thoughts, for the second US tour in April 2012. A DVD is currently in the works with photographer/filmaker Sam Link set for an August release. Another project called "Zodiac" is rumoured to be in the works.
Ambitions
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the ambition of things to change.
Do we understand why or is it just so we remember our names?
Remember to breathe as it gets colder,
Remember to write as you get older.
Are you happy as your smile shows?
To make things never go away.
How much longer, do I have to balance you,
And refine you, to walk with me? Walk with me.
To long here I lived with those that hate peace
Another one and we can surely make it.
To long here I lived with those that hate peace
Another one and we can surely make it.
With delivered phrases of pleased memories
He will remember those lines,
He will remember you this time.
I built this all,
With my own eager hands.
Never been touched with velvet gloves or hatched in golden hay.
I've left scars in a million places
To make myself explained.
I sing the champion theme only when you know it's real.
I sing the champion theme only when you know it's real.
I sing the champion theme only when you know it's real.
I sing this song to express myself in feelings
I sing those words to show you how my life really assists
I sing these melodies to survive in peoples minds
I sing my words so you can feel it and notice that I'm alive.
My words, my everything.
I sing the champion theme only when you know it's real.
I sing the champion theme only when you know it's real.
Dream On Dreamer's song "Ambitions" begins with the singer holding the listener's heart in their hands and expressing a desire for change. They question if our understanding of this ambition is for ourselves or for us to remember our names. The chorus encourages listeners to remember to breathe and write as they get older and to make sure we are living a happy life. The lyrics suggest that we can create change and peace no matter where we go.
The second verse continues with the idea of creating change, acknowledging that it can be challenging and require sacrifice. The singer expresses pride in building something with their own hands, even if it has left scars. They sing about the power of music, how it can express feelings and make the singer feel alive. The chorus repeats the idea of only singing the champion theme when it is real, indicating that the ambitions they are singing about are not just for show.
