Dreamlag Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking for a beginning like where the hell do I start
I'm picking up pieces when everything falls apart
When everything's looking dark, I'll be counting the stars
I'll be running from nothing, no I'll be going too far
I'm hoping to see some kind of tomorrow
Instead of searching for answers
I'm asking if I can borrow your heart
For a second I'm thinking bout' how did we get so far

Into this dream without waking up realize who we are

Into this dream without waking up realize who we are
For a second I'm thinking bout' how did we get so far
Searching for answers
I'm asking if I can borrow your heart
I'm hoping to see some kind of tomorrow
Instead of searching
I'll be running from nothing, no I'll be going too far
When everything's looking dark, I'll be counting the stars

I'm picking up pieces when everything falls apart
Looking for a beginning like where the hell do I start?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dreamlag's song "Limbo" express a sense of confusion and despair, while also pointing towards the possibility of hope and longing for clarity. The first lines of the song indicate a search for a starting point, a place to set off from, as if the singer is lost and seeking direction. The following lines suggest that their life has fallen apart and that they are constantly picking up the pieces. In this dark state, the singer turns to the stars, a symbol of hope and light, to guide them. However, this guidance is not enough, the singer is running from an undefinable darkness, but also, paradoxically, going too far.

The lyrics then shift to a plea for connection, asking to borrow someone's heart in the hope of seeing some kind of tomorrow. The next line reflects on how the singer has found themselves so far from where they thought they would be, in a dreamlike state without a clear sense of who they are. The song culminates with a repetition of the same lines, emphasizing the theme of searching for answers, but also recognizing the possibility that those answers may lie with others.
