Dreamcatcher
Kristinia DeBarge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up is the hardest moment now
When you're not around
Second hand, stuck emotion
Wasting minutes, like the time was stolen now
And it was running out
Eyes closed, my hands search the air
And now I, I need your help to catch my dream
'Cause everyday without you seems
Like it's slipping through my fingertips
And I don't know what it means
'Cause very night when I'm alone,
I dream about you coming home
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
Storm clouds, sky falling
Alone now, but I hear you calling out
I feel you closer now
Eyes closed, my hands search the air
For once I'm not so scared
But now I, I need your help to catch my dream
'Cause everyday without you seems
Like it's slipping through my fingertips
And I don't know what it means
'Cause very night when I'm alone,
I dream about you coming home
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
As I stare into the sky
I swear that I could see your eyes
Staring back at me
And I start to feel alive
No matter where you are
You got me through the dark
And whenever I'm asleep
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Dream catcher, catcher
Won't you be my dream catcher
The song "Dreamcatcher" by Kristinia DeBarge is about missing someone deeply and dreaming of them every night. The singer wakes up feeling lost and alone because the person they love is not around, and time seems to be slipping away. The lyrics convey the frustration and anxiety that the singer feels, as they search for something that is not there - something that they need to catch their dreams. The dreamcatcher is a symbol for catching dreams and warding off nightmares, and the singer is asking the person they miss to be their dream catcher and help them find peace in their dreams.
Throughout the song, the storm clouds are a metaphor for the singer's emotions. They feel lost and alone in the midst of the storm, but they know that the person they love is out there somewhere, calling to them. The lyrics "I swear that I could see your eyes / Staring back at me" suggest that there is a connection between the two, even though they are separated by distance. The song ends on a hopeful note as the singer realizes that no matter where the person they love is, they have helped them get through the dark and find purpose in their dreams.

See your face, time frozen
I can picture you in my mind, but it feels like time has stopped since you left
Waking up is the hardest moment now
Every morning, I struggle to face the reality of you not being around anymore
When you're not around
I miss you so much when you're not here
Second hand, stuck emotion
It feels like my emotions are just ticking away like a clock, and I can't escape them
Wasting minutes, like the time was stolen now
I feel like I'm wasting my time without you and that someone took precious time away from us
And it was running out
Time is running out and I don't want to lose you forever
Eyes closed, my hands search the air
I'm searching for something, anything, that will help me feel like you're still here
For something that's not there
I know deep down you're not here, but my heart can't accept it
And now I, I need your help to catch my dream
I can't do this on my own, I need you to be here to help me through it
'Cause everyday without you seems
Every day that goes by without you feels endless and hopeless
Like it's slipping through my fingertips
It feels like I'm losing what little connection I had left with you
And I don't know what it means
I don't understand why I feel this way or what I should do about it
'Cause every night when I'm alone,
Every night when I'm by myself
I dream about you coming home
I hope and pray that you'll come back to me and everything will be okay again
Won't you be my dream catcher
Please be the person who helps me catch and hold on to my dreams
Dream catcher, catcher
I need you to catch me and keep me safe
Storm clouds, sky falling
I feel like my world is crashing down around me
Alone now, but I hear you calling out
Even though you're not here, I feel like you're calling out to me and trying to help me
I feel you closer now
I feel like you're here with me in spirit and it helps me feel less alone
For once I'm not so scared
With you by my side, I feel like I can face my fears and overcome them
As I stare into the sky
When I look up at the sky
I swear that I could see your eyes
It feels like you're looking back at me and watching over me
Staring back at me
Your eyes are fixed on me, and it helps me feel like you're here with me
And I start to feel alive
When I feel like you're here with me, I feel like I can finally start to live again
No matter where you are
Even though you're far away from me
You got me through the dark
You've always been the light that guides me through the darkest moments of my life
And whenever I'm asleep
When I'm in my dreams
