Just A Dream
Into The Nightcore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was thinking 'bout you, thinkin 'bout me
Thinkin 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Open my eyes, It was only just a dream

Travelled back, down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realized, It was only just a dream
I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now you find her a replacement
I swear now that I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around, baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got that ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See your pretty face run my fingers through your hair

My lover, my life, my baby, my wife
You left me uptight
'Cause I know that it just ain't right

I was thinkin 'bout you, thinkin 'bout me
Thinkin 'bout us, what we gon' be
Opened my eyes, It was only just a dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will you come back, no one knows
I realized, It was only just a dream

Now I'm ridin, I swear I see your face at every turn
I'm trying to get my usher on but I can't let it Burn
And just hope you know that you are the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss him, when will I learn?
Didn't give him all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, you were so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing you'd pick up the phone
But you made the decision that you wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong

I was thinking 'bout you, thinkin 'bout me
Thinkin 'bout us, what we gon' be
Opened my eyes, It was only just a dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will you come back, no one knows
I realized, It was only just a dream

If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone
And you're wishing you could give them everything
If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you've ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone, and you're wishing you could give them everything

I was thinking 'bout you, thinkin 'bout me
Thinkin 'bout us, what we gon' be
Opened my eyes, it was only just a dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realized, It was only just a dream

I was thinking 'bout you, thinkin 'bout me
Thinkin 'bout us, what we gon' be
Opened my eyes, It was only just a dream
So I travelled back, down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realized, It was only Just A Dream
It was only just a dream




Nooo... Ohhh...
It was only just a dream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Just A Dream" by Into The Nightcore tell a heartbreaking story of a person who is reminiscing about a relationship that ended. The song is about the dreams that we have for ourselves and the people we love, and the devastation that comes with watching those dreams crumble. The first verse begins with the singer thinking about their significant other and what their future will hold. They suddenly realize that it was all just a dream, and that their hopes for the future were not going to come true.


The second verse is about the heartache that comes with a broken relationship. The singer was once at the top of their game, but now they feel as though they are in the basement. They thought that they had found the perfect love, but now someone else has taken their place. The singer laments the fact that they did not do more to hold onto their relationship, and they can't help but think of their former partner at every turn.


The chorus is a realization that none of what they were hoping for is coming true. They are stuck feeling like they are traveling the same road over and over again, hoping that their lost love will suddenly return to them. In the end, they feel that it was all just a dream, and they are left picking up the pieces of a broken heart.

Man, coming back to this song is one hell of a trip. First discovered this when I was around 12, it quite literally was the first time I ever felt emotional listening to a song. Was also what sorta caused the birth of my creativity and made me truly start wanting to write a story of my own. It caused me to actually observe the traits of stories in games that I liked, which elements made one good, which made one bad, what the cliches are, etc.

Here I am now, with that story now completely rewritten and retaining the same characters but rewritten (some redesigned) along with many new ones as I expanded on the story’s world.

I am turning 19 years old on the 30th of January.

Thank you Christina Grimmie, for giving me a chance to realize that I’m not a nobody who has 0 passion for anything.

I’ve finally found what I want to be possibly my biggest work. I don’t care if others never discover what I’ve created once it’s finished. I just care that I’ve finally found something to pour my soul into
