Waking In A Dream
Flame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't leave this bed I've made
Given up on life
God only knows I've tried
To be better
There's nothing left inside
Could never find the words to say
Waited for the dark to change in me
Watched as the seasons faded away
It's easier to just let go
Rather than dwell on all I used to know
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold
Can't leave this bed I made
Given up on life
God only knows I've tried
To be better
There's nothing left inside
I got so lost along the way
Counted down all of the days
Waited for signs from a distant place
Watched as the seasons faded away
It's easier to just let go
Rather than dwell on all I used to know
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold
Through each and every year
You destroy who you are
When you try to disappear
Take me back to the start
Mend all the pieces that fell apart
We watch the world turn
But never stop to think about
Who we are
Take me back to the start
Mend all the pieces that fell apart
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Never wanted to feel alone
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
In a life that's not my own
Lost myself
So cold
Come wake me up
I've been asleep for too long
Never wanted to feel alone
Lost myself
Slow to love
So cold
The lyrics to Flame's song "Waking In A Dream" portray the emotions of someone who feels lost and disconnected from themselves and their life. The first verse depicts the mood of hopelessness and resignation, as the person wastes away in bed and gives up on life, despite having tried to be better. The second verse describes the feeling of being lost along the way and waiting for a change to happen, only to watch as time passes by. The chorus repeats the plea for someone to wake them up from their numbness and isolation, evoking the desire to feel alive again and to regain a sense of belonging. The bridge illustrates the destructive cycle of trying to disappear from oneself and the world, and the longing for a renewal and mending of the broken pieces.
The song's overall theme is a common one in the genre of emo and alternative rock, which deals with the struggles of identity, purpose, and connection. The lyrics capture the feelings of depression, anxiety, and loneliness that many people experience at some point in their lives, and offer a relatable and cathartic outlet for those emotions. The use of metaphors such as seasons changing and pieces falling apart add a poetic dimension to the lyrics and enhance their emotional impact. The repetition of the chorus and the gradual buildup of intensity in the music create a sense of climax and release, making the song an effective emotional journey for the listener.

Watched as the seasons faded away
Witnessing the passage of time and the impermanence of life
It's easier to just let go
Succumbing to resignation or giving up, rather than continuing the struggle to improve

Through each and every year
Over an extended period of time
You destroy who you are
Actions and behaviors that harm one's self, sense of identity or purpose
When you try to disappear
Attempting to escape or avoid reality or oneself
Take me back to the start
Desiring a return to a time or place before experiences and consequences took hold
Mend all the pieces that fell apart
Recovery, healing, and restoration from past experiences
We watch the world turn
Observing the passage of time and change in the world
But never stop to think about
Rarely, if ever, reflecting on one's own experiences or impact on the world
