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.
For What You Believe In
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has nothing to do with the way I want to see the world
And now what's left?
I can't find the answers to
The questions in my head
You know we've seen it all
We met the ones that live no more
Fooled the ones that stood up for you
Your light will shine on, until everyone receives
The hidden words of a million hearts
Behold your faith and carry on
They make no sound, when they're coming after you
And I can't hear you screaming out my name
Conquer the flags and capture your legs
Stand for what you believe in
Conquer the flags and capture your legs
The only ones that keep you from breathing
Stand for what you believe in
The only ones that keep you from breathing
Breathe in, breathe out
Behold your true faith and carry on
Read the headlines…
What they say is anything but real
Now listen to what they tell you
Nothing else will be retold
These are the terms they gave you
Walk away without a soul
Because voices remain and mark your names
If you take your hands from your eyes
You don't know where we have been and died tonight
With your eyes shut and reinforced
They won't stop until you pray for gold
As they begin to introduce their stories
Enlighten all their bodies
What they do is pull you in
Have we forgotten how to deal with them?
We're victims of stories
That don't make sense to us
And we are victims of stories
That don't make any fucking sense
The lyrics of Dream On Dreamer's "For What You Believe In" convey a sense of disappointment and disillusionment towards the world and the people in it.

The lines "All that's said has nothing to do with the way I want to see the world" and "I can't find the answers to the questions in my head" convey a sense of disconnect and isolation. The second verse describes the disappointment of realizing that people and institutions that were supposed to be good and trustworthy have let the singer down.
The chorus of the song serves as a call to action, urging the listener to stand up for their beliefs in spite of the challenges they may face. The lines "Conquer the flags and capture your legs" suggest a need to overcome obstacles and fight for what one believes in.

Line by Line Meaning
All that's said
The things people say don't align with my worldview
Has nothing to do with the way I want to see the world
The words spoken don't align with what I believe in and how I see the world
And now what's left?
After hearing all these things that don't make sense, what is there to believe in?
I can't find the answers to
I'm struggling to find the truth among all these lies and false stories
The questions in my head
The doubts and uncertainties in my mind
You know we've seen it all
We've witnessed the worst of humanity
We met the ones that live no more
We've seen people die because of the lies and deception of others
Deceived your children you said you loved
The people we trusted have betrayed us and those we cared for
Fooled the ones that stood up for you
The loyal supporters have been misled and used for selfish gain
Your light will shine on, until everyone receives
The truth will eventually be revealed to all
The hidden words of a million hearts
The feelings and emotions of countless individuals that have been ignored or dismissed
Behold your faith and carry on
Hold onto your beliefs and don't give up
They make no sound, when they're coming after you
The people who try to bring you down do so silently and covertly
And I can't hear you screaming out my name
Even if you try to reach out for help, I might not be able to hear you
Conquer the flags and capture your legs
Overcome the obstacles and limitations that prevent you from achieving your goals
Stand for what you believe in
Stay true to your values and principles
The only ones that keep you from breathing
The only things that hold you back from living life to the fullest
Breathe in, breathe out
Stay calm and composed in the face of challenges
Behold your true faith and carry on
Stay true to your beliefs and keep pushing forward
Read the headlines…
Take a look at what's going on in the world
What they say is anything but real
The news and media often distort the truth and present a false reality
Now listen to what they tell you
Be cautious and critical of the information you're being fed
Nothing else will be retold
Don't believe everything you hear
These are the terms they gave you
The rules and conditions imposed upon you by those in power
Walk away without a soul
Don't let others strip you of your humanity and spirit
Because voices remain and mark your names
Your actions and words will have an impact and leave a lasting impression
If you take your hands from your eyes
If you confront the truth and face reality head-on
You don't know where we have been and died tonight
You don't know the struggles and hardships that people have faced and continue to face every day
With your eyes shut and reinforced
If you choose to ignore the truth and hold onto your beliefs blindly
They won't stop until you pray for gold
Those in power will continue to take advantage of you and exploit your weaknesses
As they begin to introduce their stories
As they start to tell their lies and manipulate the truth
Enlighten all their bodies
Open people's minds and expose them to the truth
What they do is pull you in
They try to lure you into their web of deception and lies
Have we forgotten how to deal with them?
Have we lost the ability to resist and fight back against those who seek to harm us?
We're victims of stories
We are affected by the narratives and beliefs that are imposed upon us
That don't make sense to us
That don't align with our experiences and beliefs
And we are victims of stories
We continue to be affected and manipulated by these false narratives
That don't make any fucking sense
That are completely devoid of logic and reason
