EVOL
Dream On Dreamer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up,
All I want to do is shut my eyes again.

No this isn't who I am.
What on earth have I become?

You must be the light
Shining brighter from the inside.
You make love seem so alive.
Yeah I forgot what it feels like.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
If you let it go and it doesn't come back you're better off alone.

If loving you is the risk
Would you love me in return
And if you dare to let this go
You're better off alone.

Nothing, nothing can explain the way you change me.
Nothing, nothing can explain the way you change me.

I keep forgetting,
I'm relying on a dream that has no fear of hurting me.
If I go back to sleep you will haunt me again.
I see your presence lurking out from a distance.
This can't be real, oh no.
I see you staring but your face is fiction.
This can't be who I see.
You must be the light
Shining brighter from the inside.
You make love seem so alive.
Yeah I forgot what it feels like.

I'm sinking,
I'm losing hope in everything.
I keep sinking,
I keep losing hope in everything.





I keep sinking,
I keep losing hope.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Evol" by Dream On Dreamer describe the singer's struggle with the idea of love and the fear of being hurt.

The chorus then introduces the idea that loving someone means risking not being loved in return, and if that happens, it's better to be alone. This theme of risk continues throughout the song, as the singer wonders if their love will be returned or if they will be left alone. The bridge of the song highlights the transformation that has occurred within the singer because of the other person, but the fear of being hurt again is still present.


The lyrics of "Evol" speak to the universal experience of falling in love and the insecurities that come with it. The fear of being hurt is a common feeling that many people can relate to, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.

Line by Line Meaning

I wake up,
I start my day,


All I want to do is shut my eyes again.
But I don't feel like facing my struggles, so I just want to sleep and forget about them.


No this isn't who I am.
I'm not the person who gives up easily.


What on earth have I become?
But I feel like I've changed in ways that I don't recognize anymore.


You must be the light
You have a positive influence on my life,


Shining brighter from the inside.
And that brightness is coming from within you.


You make love seem so alive.
Your presence makes me feel love in a way that I haven't felt before.


Yeah I forgot what it feels like.
I've been so hurt before that I forgot what it feels like to love someone.


To love is to risk not being loved in return.
But loving someone means that there's a chance they might not love you back.


If you let it go and it doesn't come back you're better off alone.
And if you try to hold onto it and it still doesn't work out, it's better to be alone and move on.


If loving you is the risk
If loving you means taking that risk,


Would you love me in return
I need to know if you feel the same way about me.


And if you dare to let this go
And if you're willing to let our love go,


You're better off alone.
Then it's better to be alone than to hold onto something that's not right for us.


Nothing, nothing can explain the way you change me.
You have the ability to change me in ways that I can't even explain.


I keep forgetting,
It's easy for me to forget,


I'm relying on a dream that has no fear of hurting me.
That I'm depending on a dream that can't hurt me.


If I go back to sleep you will haunt me again.
But if I go back to sleep, that dream will come back, haunting me once again.


I see your presence lurking out from a distance.
I feel your influence even when you're not physically around.


This can't be real, oh no.
It's hard for me to believe that this is really happening.


I see you staring but your face is fiction.
I can see you in my mind, but it's not the real you, just a figment of my imagination.


This can't be who I see.
I know that the person I'm seeing isn't really you.


I'm sinking,
I feel like I'm drowning,


I'm losing hope in everything.
And I'm losing hope in everything around me.


I keep sinking,
It feels like I'm continuously sinking,


I keep losing hope in everything.
And everything I see around me just makes me lose even more hope.
