Impossible
Kapre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i've dreamed so big
since i was a kid
i wanted to reach the clouds
and never come down

i've dreamed so big
since i was a kid
i wanted to fly

but i'd never try

i wanted super powers
and money
and famous friends
that arent judgy

To have love
and to live long
it seems impossible
did i dream wrong?

ouuu ya
ouuu ya
ouuu ya
i wanna dream

ouuu ya
ouuu ya
ouuu ya

ive had heart breaks
and fist fights
and feeling love
at first site

the things we love
and things we've lost
but what we need
costs the most

ouu it costs the most

I want to dream
and achieve
what seems impossible
to me

I want to love
and learn
and feel what its like to hurt

ouuu ya

ouuu ya
ouuu ya

This longing for a life filled with love, longevity, and success seems unattainable, leading the artist to question whether their dreams were misguided. Despite the challenges they have faced, including heartbreaks, fights, and fleeting moments of love, they recognize that what truly matters, such as love and personal growth, often comes at a great cost. Nevertheless, the artist remains determined to dream and achieve what may appear impossible to others.
