Dreamland
Labyrinth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night is leaving too early
My dreams are falling away
I lie dreaming to run close
why are you fading away from me?

Lost in you I'm running nowhere
Searching for the land of dreams (where do you live?)
are you somewhere? ... Somewhere in my mind ...
... in Dreamland ...

A light flashes my mind
brightening finally all the air
you standing tall watching me
your eyes are pulling me over time

Lost in you I won't awake
riding for the land of dreams
going somewhere, somewhere in my mind ...
... in Dreamland ...

Living nowhere, somewhere in my mind
riding somewhere, going everywhere




searching for the land of dreams (where do you live?)
... in timeless Dreamland ...

Overall Meaning

The song is essentially about how the dream world provides an escape from the mundane and boring reality of everyday life. The first stanza talks about the fleeting nature of dreams, as night ends too early, and how dreams can quickly fade away.

The chorus repeats the phrase "in Dreamland," which emphasizes the importance of the dream world to the singer.


The third stanza represents a turning point in the song where the singer sees a light and finds the person or the place he has been searching for. The light represents the end of the darkness and confusion that comes with reality, and it illuminates the singer's mind, making everything clear. The person he finds is standing tall, and their eyes pull him through time, indicating that this dream state is timeless and infinite. The singer is no longer lost and has found himself in this world. The lyrics "lost in you I won't awake" indicate that the singer does not want to leave this dream world or return to reality.


Overall, the song is about the importance of dreams and how they can provide an escape from the pressures of reality. The dream world is described as "timeless" and "infinite," emphasizing its importance and value. The song encourages the listener to explore the dream world and find solace in it.

This song is sooo perfectly amazing ... or ... this song is so amazingly perfect! :D  Either way, it's really a brilliant song which I love so much (maybe because I'm searching for the Dreamland too, haha!!), well, no, it's a beautiful song with so much feeling to it, great music and wonderful vocals. I especially love the way that it ends, the way that it fades out (in tiiiimeless dreamlaaaaaaaaaaand....). it's very impressive.
