I
Dream Warriors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Featuring GangStarr]

[Chorus]

I've lost my ignroance and don't know where to find it

so I search (search) furiously
I've lost my ignroance and don't know where to find it

yet I search (search) furiously

stop this and lock this in your trophy case

cause this one is built for the whole human race

was INI the only one to experiment

was the noise I organized ignorant (no)

what is it then it must have been the pen

or the vibes I send or the time that I spend

thinking and sinking into the sink

don't try to swallow this because it's too much to drink

because

[Chorus]

but why do you search for ignorance (I don't)

you can be a dummy Mr. Will (I won't)

what is it that you seek then

soul in the hip

getto is the grip so the beat won't slip

or slide or do a dive into an ocean of lyrical audio

and here's a plate of video

I search and disperse so verse rehearsal is universal

like nova is nobel when I am flowing over ruffell and boulder

I admit my style and wit is a homicidal tool

I'm seeking knowledge like a student in school

[Chorus]

we don't know

we don't know

we don't

(repeat 7x)

I venture through darkness with power eclipse

soul for my guidance my conscence equipped

opens my thought my neighborhood compels me

the contract swells the head

I feed on my own so here we go into a cool down

the fool found a sound but there's not enough to go around

so we searchers and searchers we searches in ignorance

the outcome of distortion is the evidence

pre-dominant pre-dominance is how I stand

phenomenon one phenomenon two (come come)

I seek and I prosper my journey is endless

keen is my eye sight analyze

reality fantasy fantasize





[Chorus]

The second verse uses imagery of sinking into a sink and being unable to swallow too much to drink to illustrate the overwhelming nature of the artist's quest for knowledge.

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown

When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

We're the Dream Warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name

It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

We're the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you

Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
We're the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
We're the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors... 😴

80s was hands down the GREATEST era for 80s music.

@spitshinetommy3721

Which makes sense, considering it was made in the 80s.

@Brandon2940

You could literally say this for any era, the 90's was the GREATEST era for 90's music lol.

Sorry to joke haha
But I do agree with you!

@lilwyvern4

@Brandon2940 Ah, but what about the 1890s? They had some good 90s music there too!
