Dream After Dream
Indecent Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These minutes are long
Tonight these streets echo like
A lover's song
All through the night
I've walked on the dark side of town
Sleep is just promises
I dream of you.I dream of you.
Everything you say.
Everything you do.
Makes me dream of you.
I want to hold hands
And fill them again
With real life statues of
The soldiers of pain
And watch as they fall
The Victims of Love
I am the one on my knees
Burning the candle of love to the end
I dream of you.I dream of you.
Everything you say.
Everything you do.
Makes me dream of you.
I know you suspect my desires
Are just a flame in my heart
You think that my love will go over
The first heavy weather I see in your eyes...
Oh no....
The lyrics of Indecent Obsession's song "Dream After Dream" talk about the singer's longing for a lost love. Despite being apart from their lover, every little thing they do or say continues to haunt the singer's dreams. The first verse of the song paints a picture of a lonely night spent walking through the streets, unable to sleep and thinking about their ex-partner. The second verse describes the singer's wish to be with their lover again, holding hands and experiencing real-life moments with them once more. They also express the desire to watch their pain and heartbreak fall away like statues and see their love survive even the hardest of times.
The chorus repeats the same lines twice, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's love, as well as their significant need to be with their ex-partner again. In the third verse, the singer acknowledges that their ex-partner may not believe in their love and sees it as a flame that flickers out with the first sign of trouble. However, the singer proclaims that they will not let go of their love that easily, and their flame will continue to burn strong despite the heavy weather.
