Lucid Dream
Elitist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remembering every detail
Breathe in revive
Back in time
I'm following all the answers
Breathe in revive
I'm running with all i've got
Taking in all this earth gives me to breathe
Bonding the broken pieces
Trying to hold on to any trace of hope (i will not let got)
Bonding the broken pieces
Hold on and take me to a place where i could dream
I wish that i can live in this dream forever
Never wake up (this is my hidden heaven)
I wish that i could live in this dream forever
A place to rest when i feel i'm losing control
I will not let go this is my hidden heaven
I will not let go this you won't take from me
Bonding the broken pieces
Trying to hold on to any trace of hope
Bonding the broken pieces
Hold on and take me to a place where i can dream
Back in time
Remembering every detail
Breathe in revive (revive)
I wish that i could live in this dream forever
This is my hidden heaven
I wish that i could live in this dream forever
Take me there
