Persist the Voice
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics

You called us sons
The singer and others were given a sense of belonging and identity by someone who called them their sons.

And you would be Promising this time
The singer remembers numerous unfulfilled promises by the person who gave them a sense of identity, who is now promising something once again.

We all wake up under the same sun.
Everyone in the world experiences the same world and its challenges each day, regardless of their individual struggles.

And this is nothing without you here I stare at the blank chair because you're all alone.
The absence of the person who gave the artist an identity has left them feeling hollow and lonely, as symbolized by the empty chair.

Fuck.
An expression of frustration or anger after reflecting on the previous lines.

Oh god can you tell me, Why is everything I see a tragedy?
The singer is questioning whether their perception of the world is influenced by a higher power or if their own perspective is causing them to see tragedy in everything.

It's left us wondering what is this for? Just say something, something you really feel.
The singer questions the meaning of their experiences and is seeking honest communication rather than empty words.

We walked this way before. Just waiting till it all comes to an end And now that it's all gone We pray with sirens till we all fall apart.
The artist and others have faced similar challenges before and are waiting for a resolution, but are currently consumed by their emotions and fears.

This is me calling out to a man that knows my destiny. Clouds will be waiting at the end where our father once shook our hands.
The artist is reaching out to a higher power who they believe has knowledge of their future, and they imagine a significant moment at the end of their life.

Give me strength, Give me reason Give me something that I can hold on to so I'll never stand alone.
The artist is seeking inner strength and purpose to avoid feeling isolated.

I won't praise you anymore With your promises nailed to a wall You let me down So many times wake up, wake up, please give me a sign.
The singer has lost faith in the person who gave them a sense of identity, and is pleading for a response or indication of action from them.

We all wake up under the same sun Walking miles towards reached out hands To see that this is never gonna end.
The artist is acknowledging that people around the world are all seeking connection and assistance, but are finding that their suffering is ongoing.

Make sense of this at all, can't give it no more. Do all these empty words that I repeat help me in any way at all?
The singer is struggling to make sense of their experiences and is questioning whether their expressions are meaningful or simply repeating the same empty words.

And now that it's all gone. I always wondered why you looked down, Looked away when I felt you were so close.
The person who gave the singer a sense of identity is now absent, and the singer is questioning the reasons for feeling disconnected from them in the past.

I'm standing on the edge on my own. Will you come and save me? Still standing on the edge on my own. You will come when I am gone.
The singer feels alone and is seeking help or companionship, but also acknowledges their own mortality and the possibility of help only coming after they are gone.
