Dream Awake
Lauren Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you alone in the shade of the night,
A distant reflection I caught in my eye
Is this real
Cause I feel, like you're the one
My heart's beatin' faster
You're taking my hand
you're drawing my closer
As we start to dance
Amor, I feel lost in your smile
Many times but not this way before

Wont you stay
And hold me in your arms forever? (ever)
Don't want this night to fade away (fade away)
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.
We shine brighter than the stars together
This night'll never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.

A moment of magic I just cannot place
was i asleep the first time we embraced
Tell me, have we, been here before?
Now that I got you, I wont let you go.
Wont wake up tomorrow and find I'm alone
Now you're here
It's so clear
My dreams become reality.

Wont you stay
And hold me in your arms forever
Don't want this night to fade away
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.
We shine brighter than the stars together
This night'll never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.

Is bimy imagination running wild
better pinch myself to see if I'm right
Is this just a fantasy or am I just make believin'
I'm awake, why am I dreaming?

Wont you stay
And hold me in your arms forever
Don't want this night to fade away
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.
We shine brighter than the stars together
This night'll never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I,
I'm in a dream awake, I'm in a dream awake.

Wont you hold me in your arms forever?
Dream awake, dream awake
But I,
Oh
I'm gona shine, shine, shine
Stars together
Dream awake




Dream awake.
*fade out*

Overall Meaning

Lauren Evans's song "Dream Awake" describes the feeling of meeting someone special and falling in love. The opening verse portrays the main character catching sight of their love interest from a distance and being drawn to them. The following verse suggests that they have an unexplainable feeling of familiarity with this person, as if they have been here before. The chorus plays upon the idea of being in a dream but also being wide awake - the singer is so happy and enamored, they don't want the night to end, yet they can't believe that this is really happening. The bridge highlights the paradox of being awake but feeling like you're dreaming, wondering if this is too good to be true. However, despite this inner turmoil, the singer still chooses to embrace the moment and shines brighter than the stars with their newfound love.


The lyrics of "Dream Awake" have a simple but powerful message about being open to love and taking chances. The singer is not afraid to embrace their feelings and live in the moment. The metaphorical description of dreaming with one's eyes open suggests that sometimes, the best things in life come unexpectedly, and it's up to us to embrace them. The song is both a romantic ballad and an ode to living in the present moment.

This song is sooo dear to my heart. Nostalgic

@kaylasameerah3

Omg yes

@pirligirlpearl

Lauren Evan's doesn't get anywhere near the recognition and praise she truly deserves, her voice is absolutely frickin amazing!! So pure, alluring and pitch perfect, she's far better than singers like Katy Perry and Britney Spears; all they have is mostly showmanship.

@DiamondsRexpensive

Ikr. Her voice is something else.

@RoxxiRay

Love Her Voice, this is the reason why I liked all of the songs on the Bratz Genie Magic CD, only two songs she didn't sing on that CD. Also, she wrote really good sounds too!

@pirligirlpearl

Lauren Evan's got nowhere near the credit she deserved. She's fucking AMAZING😍😍😍😍

@neutralmode8127

June 2021 still here and forever to be
