Dream
Fair Warning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It only seems like yesterday -
You broke the spell and turned away
The darkness of the night.
Your smile just like the morning sun -
It healed the pain I felt so long
Dried all the tears I cried.

One look into your eyes -
It's like rising with the wind
One moment changed my life -
It's love I'm breathing in

I dream -
And nothing breaks the silence that I feel
The love I used to wish for - now it's real
You turn it on and break the spell -
I know it's true, I know it's true -
I dream...

A castaway out in the storm -
In search for love and far from home
That's all I used to be.
But then you came into my life -
To open up my blinded eyes
Your love it set me free.

When silent is the night -
I'm driving with the wind
No matter what I try -
It's love I'm breathing in

I dream -
And nothing breaks the silence that I feel
The love I used to wish for - now it's real
You turn it on and break the spell -




I know it's true, I know it's true -
I dream - I dream...

Overall Meaning

Fair Warning's song "Dream" is a poetic tale of finding love after feeling lost and alone.

Heart describes how one look into this person's eyes "is like rising with the wind," and that one moment changed his life; he's now breathing in love.
