In Dreams Of Mine
Faith and the Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And bade me follow sleepily to sights we few have never seen,
I dropped down to join her view, I fit quite well her feline saunter,
Rings and echos past we two, a sing-song call did beckon her,
And with her heart she looked at me,
saw me as a fellow being,
It seems she was about to speak,
Further on we made our way, towards a bright and shining chamber,
Where others greeted gracefully and bowed to her with royal charm,
And then the group began to dance, to a distant melody,
And when I did awake at last, she lay sleeping next to me,
And with her heart she looked at me,
Saw me as a fellow being,
It seems she about to speak
of other worlds and times.
And in her eyes I gaze forever, it's the deepest understanding,
Of a long forgotten queen, in these dreams of mine.
And I have often pondered who she may really be,
The soul of someone once close to me, in these dreams of mine,
In these dreams of mine, in these dreams of mine.
The lyrics of Faith and the Muse's song In Dreams of Mine explore the idea of a dream world where the singer encounters a vision of purity in their sleep. The purity takes the form of a feminine figure, who invites the singer to join her on a journey to sights that few have ever seen. The singer is willing to join her adventure, seeing that he fits the figure's feline saunter, and he follows her into a chorus of echoes.
As they continue their journey, they enter a bright and shining chamber where others bow to the feminine figure with royal charm. They begin to dance to a distant melody, and in a twist at the end, the singer wakes up to find that the figure was sleeping next to him. The final lines of the verses show a deep understanding of the feminine figure's identity - a long forgotten queen.
The lyrics of In Dreams of Mine tap into the mystique of dreams, where anything can happen and anyone can appear. The feminine figure embodies purity and grace, and the singer is drawn to her effortlessly. The dream world that they explore is expansive and full of surprises, and the singer is fully immersed in it. The final line - "in these dreams of mine" - highlights the singer's desire to continue exploring and encountering the mystery of the dream world.

Soft in essence purity, came to me in blissful dreams,
A feeling of innocence and goodness appeared to me in a peaceful dream.
And bade me follow sleepily to sights we few have never seen,
It invited me to follow it to unfamiliar places while I was still half-asleep.
I dropped down to join her view, I fit quite well her feline saunter,
I stooped down to see things from its perspective and felt aligned with its graceful movements.
Rings and echos past we two, a sing-song call did beckon her,
We observed the remnants of past events and heard a musical call that attracted its attention.
And with her heart she looked at me,
It gazed at me with deep emotion.
Saw me as a fellow being,
It recognized me as a similar creature with a shared existence.
It seems she was about to speak,
It appeared as if it was going to speak.
of other worlds and times.
About different realities and periods of existence.
Further on we made our way, towards a bright and shining chamber,
We continued on our journey towards a radiant and impressive room.
Where others greeted gracefully and bowed to her with royal charm,
We arrived where other entities greeted it respectfully and showed deference like it was royalty.
And then the group began to dance, to a distant melody,
The others started to dance to a far-off tune.
And when I did awake at last, she lay sleeping next to me,
When I finally woke up, it was lying asleep beside me.
And in her eyes I gaze forever, it's the deepest understanding,
Looking into its gaze granted me a profound comprehension.
Of a long forgotten queen, in these dreams of mine.
Of a queen from a distant past, who I only see in these dreams.
And I have often pondered who she may really be,
I have frequently thought about the true identity of the entity.
The soul of someone once close to me, in these dreams of mine,
Perhaps it represents a spirit of a person who was once dear to me, the one that only appears in my dreams.
In these dreams of mine, in these dreams of mine.
In those dreams, which only belong to me.
