Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my life is off the page, maybe it's better this way
do you remember first contact, was it so long ago
twenty twelve is already happening, our time is runnin out
the way i'm livin my life, like light's goin out
hangin out at your studio, watch you draw it all out
my life is off the page, it's better that wayremember first contact, two thousand and ten
is this okay
what were we thinkin about, staring in my backyard
and what were you thinkin about, runnin fingers across my scars
when we watched first contact, two times in a row
when we made first contact, we watched the voyage home
is this okay, paul wake up, ps wake up, is this okay, wake up wake up
when i live in death dreams, i forget what's real
when i live in death dreams, i forgot what's real
when i live in death dreams, i forget what's real
when i live in death dreams, i forgot what's real
The song "First Contact" by I.D. takes a nostalgic look at the concept of first contact, both with extraterrestrial life and with the deeper aspects of one's own self. The lyrics describe hanging out at a studio, watching someone draw and living life off the page, suggesting a certain detachment from reality. The singer reflects on the year 2010, when they first made contact, perhaps insinuating that this was a pivotal moment in their life. The lyrics then delve deeper into the subconscious, mentioning death dreams and the concept of forgetting what's real.
The song has a haunting and introspective tone, with a wistfulness for the past and a sense of uncertainty for the future. The use of repetition in the lyrics ("when I live in death dreams, I forget what's real") emphasizes the feeling of being lost and disconnected from oneself. Overall, the song raises questions about the nature of reality, how we perceive it, and how we make connections with others.

when i live in death dreams, i forgot what's real
When I'm lost in my thoughts, it becomes difficult to distinguish reality from imagination
when i live in death dreams, i forget what's real
When I'm consumed by my nightmares, I tend to forget what is real

When I'm enveloped in my dark fantasies, it becomes hard to remember what actually exists
when i live in death dreams, i forgot what's real
When I'm trapped in the grip of my fears, I tend to lose sight of reality
