I Don't Wanna Lose My Way
Dreamcatcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel so afraid
To see them, like I did it my way
Confused, I feel the reason why
False illusion falls, my lullaby

I don't wanna lose my way
I don't wanna cause you pain
Drifting past, I close the door
Memories past, I once adored
Wager woven in my heart
Shattered hopes, I'm torn apart

I don't wanna lose my way
I don't wanna cause you pain

You know that I love you
But this light shines so bright from me
You know that I must find my heaven

I can't breathe up on high
Temptation rains on us from above
The caves all spring to life
Devils in the night
They rose to me

I don't wanna lose my way
I don't wanna cause you pain

You know that I love you




But this light shines so bright from me
You know that I must find my heaven

Overall Meaning

In "I Don't Wanna Lose My Way," Dreamcatcher ft Jesso describes the fear and confusion that comes with trying to find oneself while navigating through life. The song begins with the singer expressing their fear of judgment and how it influences the way they present themselves to the world. They feel like they have to hide parts of themselves to be accepted, which leads to a false reality that eventually becomes a lullaby. It's as if the singer has been lulled into a sense of safety by pretending to be something they're not, but they know that this safety comes at a cost.


As the song progresses, the singer admits that they're struggling to hold onto their identity while also not wanting to hurt the person they're addressing in the song. They're caught between a desire for personal freedom and a fear of causing pain to someone they love. The past plays a significant role in their journey, and they speak about closing the door on memories that once brought them joy. The wager of their heart is torn apart, leaving them in a state of disarray.


The chorus serves as a reiteration of the singer's fear of losing themselves, and the bridge tackles the difficulties of resisting temptation and finding one's own path. The singer acknowledges their love for the person they're singing to but comes to the realization that they need to find their own way in life. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing their need to find their own "heaven."


Overall, "I Don't Wanna Lose My Way" is a deeply introspective song that delves into the complexities of identity and finding one's place in the world. It's a reminder that the journey isn't always easy and that it's okay to take the time you need to find yourself.

At times I experience fear

A mistaken belief vanishes, which I thought was consoling

The caverns are revitalized


Devils in the night
Evil spirits that come out in the dark


They rose to me
They came to me opposing my progress

This is one of the best trance music videos ever. This is probably the best mermaid video. Although Chicane Bruised Water is cool too.
