Killing My Dreams
Elysion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why have ourselves abandoned us
Why they no more belong to us
Cries in the sky pray to believe
My heart and soul will never forgive

We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams

My heart cries out for the touch I will never have
Before my eyes you've burnt everything I loved
I'm on the edge and you're forcing me not to fall
You'll never see me crawl

We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams

We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams

Why have ourselves abandoned us
Why they no more belong to us
Cries in the sky pray to believe
My heart and soul will never forgive

We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose
I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams

We are all being used
Our lives have been abused
Still no one resists
I guess
There's nothing to lose




I am no longer confused
You're killing my dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elysion's song "Killing My Dreams" explore the concept of personal betrayal and abandonment. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer cannot understand why they have been abandoned by themselves - this could be interpreted as a loss of personal identity, self-esteem or belief - and why they no longer feel part of their own life. The cries in the sky suggest that the singer is seeking guidance or redemption from a higher power, but they are struggling to believe that they can be helped. The lines "My heart and soul will never forgive" suggest that this sense of abandonment has caused deep and lasting emotional damage.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more aware of the ways in which they feel they have been used and abused. The repetition of the lines "We are all being used, our lives have been abused" highlights the idea that the singer sees their situation as part of a wider issue affecting many people. Despite this pain, the singer acknowledges that no one is resisting - there is no one fighting back against the forces that have caused this hurt. This sense of powerlessness is made more acute by the closing lines of the song, which suggest that the singer's dreams have been killed. They may feel that life is no longer worth living if they cannot have the things they once hoped for.


Overall, "Killing My Dreams" is a song about pain, betrayal, and loss. The lyrics invite the listener to contemplate the ways in which they may have been let down by themselves, by others around them, or by the world at large. The repetition of specific phrases and lines helps to create a sense of numbness or despair that echoes the singer's feelings of hopelessness.

Back in 2012 was the worst time in my life. I remember listening to this song at the time. Now I can hear it without pain. And appreciate it's true beauty.
