Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To dreamland
No need to come with me
It's not where I wanna be
In dreamland
My soul lies freezing
With everyone I thought I knew
And I'm pretty sure it wants to stay
Even though I'm far away
I can still see
How well you would all be without me
In dreamland
You're a silhouette
Of all my insecurities
Of everything that isn't real
'Cause in dreamland
I sleep and I watch it all go by
My heart's right there with you
And I'm pretty sure it wants to stay
Even though I'm far away
I can still see
How well you would all be without me
I wanna swim across the sea that separates us
But I would drown
I am drowning
Please don't let me drown
Please don't let me drown
My heart's right there with you
And I'm pretty sure it wants to stay
Even though I'm far away
I can still see
How well you would all be without me
My heart's right there with you
And I'm pretty sure it wants to stay
Even though I'm far away
I can still see
How well you would all be without me
Would you notice if I drowned

I'm going on a road trip
Embarking on a journey to Dreamland
To dreamland
Destination of the road trip
No need to come with me
Preferring to go alone
It's not where I wanna be
Clarifying that Dreamland isn't a desired location
In dreamland
Mood and setting of the experience
My soul lies freezing
Suffering from an emotional numbness in Dreamland
With everyone I thought I knew
Feeling detached from acquaintances in Dreamland
My heart's right there with you
Feeling connected to loved ones who are not in Dreamland
And I'm pretty sure it wants to stay
Desiring to be with loved ones despite being in Dreamland
Even though I'm far away
Despite physical distance, the heart remains close
I can still see
Mental awareness of reality beyond Dreamland
How well you would all be without me
Wondering if loved ones would be better off without the artist
You're a silhouette
Seeing loved ones in Dreamland as incomplete, blurry figures
Of all my insecurities
Seeing the insecurities in loved ones while dreaming
Of everything that isn't real
Realizing that Dreamland isn't a reality
'Cause in dreamland
Stating the reason for the previous observations
I sleep and I watch it all go by
Observing dream events with a passive, detached attitude
I wanna swim across the sea that separates us
Desiring physical closeness with loved ones
But I would drown
Knowing that trying to bridge the distance would be futile
I am drowning
Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional distance
Please don't let me drown
Pleading for help from loved ones
Would you notice if I drowned
Questioning whether loved ones would care if the artist gave up on bridging the distance
