In A Dream
Long-view Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what you want it to be
But even in my dreams
She's got a look in her eye I can't believe
She brings me back down to earth
And wakes me up again
I try to get back to sleep
In a dream
The movement of my eyes
Rapid and uninspired
My brain is getting tired
She's got a look in her eye I can't believe
She brings me back down to earth
And wakes me up again
I try to get back to sleep
She's nowhere to be seen
In a dream
Look what completes
Nothing else so sweet
I try to get back to sleep
She's nowhere to be seen
In a dream
In a dream
In a dream
There's nothing to report
From my unconscious thought
Forever falling short
Longview's song In A Dream is a song about the disappointment that comes with reality when compared to the beauty of dreams. The message is that life could never be just what one wants it to be, which is the reason why the singer of the song seeks comfort in his dreams. The song describes how within his dreams, he encounters a woman who has an inexplicable attractiveness which brings him back to reality and wakes him up again. The song conveys the idea that dreams are a sanctuary; more enjoyable than anything real life could offer. When the singer awakens, he tries to get back to sleep to continue the dream, but unfortunately, the woman is nowhere to be seen.
The movement of the singer's eyes is rapid and uninspired, and his brain is getting tired, indicating that the stress of reality has weighed down his subconscious. He longs for his dream to come true and bring happiness into his reality, and despite not being able to attain his dream's beauty, he continues to seek solace in his dreams yet again.
In conclusion, the song is about the beauty of dreams and how they offer an escape from reality's harshness. The song interprets that dreams can fulfill one's desires and ease their pain. Despite reality's difficulties, dreams offer an escape route and an alternate world where the impossible becomes possible.

2004 : “ La vida no pot ser
Només allò que desitges
Però, fins i tot en els meus somnis,
Ella té una mirada
Una mirada en el seus ulls
Que em resulta increïble
Ella em porta de tornada a la terra
Ella em desperta de nou
Intento tornar a dormir
Ella és a per tot arreu
En un somni
El moviment dels ulls
Ràpid i sense inspiració
El meu cervell s'està cansant
Ella té una mirada
Una mirada en el seus ulls
Que em resulta increïble
Ella em porta de tornada a la terra
Ella em desperta de nou
Intento tornar a dormir
Ella és a per tot arreu
En un somni
Miro tot el que fa
Escolto tot el que diu
No hi ha res tan dolç
Intento tornar a dormir
Ella és per tot arreu
En un somni
En un somni
En un somni
No hi res a informar
Des del meu pensament inconscient
Sempre faig curt “
