Dreamer
InsideOut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The dreamer dreams, his tales to spin
A fantasy - a moments whim
It matters not what he shall find
It's meant to be in heavens time
The dreamer dreams, his tales to spin
A fantasy - a moments whim
It's meant to be in heavens time
He may battle, demons deep,
Come to rouse him from his sleep
Or he may travel beyond the sea
Finding beauty - forever free
(Chorus)
The dreamer dreams his soul to save-
A desperate chase to free the slave
The dreamer dreams, his soul to give
Forever young, his life to live
dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
dream away
dream on, dream away
So sleep my friend tonight to rest
Angels bring their nightly quest
You shall conquer all your fears
And peace be with you all your years
(Chorus)
The dreamer dreams his soul to save
A desperate chase to free the slave
The dreamer dreams, his soul to give
Forever young, his life to live
dream on, dream away
dream on, dream away, dream on
So sleep my friend tonight to rest
Angels bring their nightly quest
You shall conquer all your fears
And peace be with you all your years.
The song Dreamer by InsideOut speaks to the power of our dreams and the importance of holding on to them even when faced with obstacles. The chorus repeats the same four lines twice, emphasizing the idea that the dreamer's stories are meant to be told and experienced in their own time, regardless of what happens along the way. The dreamer may encounter demons and obstacles that try to stop him from dreaming, but he perseveres and continues on his quest for freedom and beauty.
The second half of the song speaks directly to the dreamer, encouraging him to sleep soundly and trust in the angels to conquer his fears and bring peace to his life. The dreamer's dreams are a part of him, something he will always hold onto, and his soul is on a desperate chase to free the slave within him. In the end, the dreamer's soul is meant to be lived forever young and free, as a testament to the power of dreams and the human spirit.
