Dreaming
MVTEN a.k.a SrawBurn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause times have changed
I need to hear you'll be with me
Won't be erased
And every dream we lived has taken over us
And every dream believes there's people we can trust
Don't need to be the one to cry
I need to be the one to try
We're trying
To find, a new beginning
We're trying
To find a new way out of this place
We're dying
To finally find a way to admit it
We're side-chained
Tonight
Tonight
We saw frames of light
Designed to guide our way
And every beam we'd seen had taken over
Creating themes through streams of hue that drove us closer
Though every scene we made will soon be over
Know when I sleep that I'm not dreaming solo
Don't need to be the one to cry
I need to be the one to try
I need to be the one to live
We're trying
To find, a new beginning
We're trying
To find a new way out of this place
We're dying
To finally find a way to admit it
We're side-chained
Tonight
Tonight
We're trying
To find, a new beginning
We're trying
To find a new way out of this place
We're dying
To finally find a way to admit it
We're side-chained
Tonight
The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is feeling stuck in their emotions, in a relationship that has left them scarred. The lines "I'm sure you're only dreaming / You're only juggling with my mind" suggest that the person is not taking the relationship seriously or is not fully committed, while the line "While I feel more and more like screaming / For the scar you left behind" reveals the pain and hurt that the other person has caused.
Throughout the song, there is a repetition of the phrase "You're only dreaming" which can be interpreted in a couple of ways. One interpretation is that the person being addressed is not fully present in the relationship, as if they are in a dreamlike state, not fully aware or invested. Another interpretation is that the singer is trying to convince themselves that the other person is not real, not fully present, in order to distance themselves from the pain.
The final lines of the song suggest that although the singer is hurt and feeling trapped in their emotions, they still have hope that the other person will come back and truly commit to the relationship, "...You will smile and you will say, 'dear friend, / You're only dreaming.'"

I'm sure you're only dreaming
I believe that you are not really serious or sincere, and that you are just imagining things
You're only juggling with my mind
You are playing around with my thoughts and emotions, not taking them seriously
While I feel more and more like screaming
As you continue to toy with me, I become increasingly frustrated and angry
For the scar you left behind
Because of the emotional pain you caused me in the past, I am still hurting and affected by it
I'm sure we're just a part
I understand that our relationship is not the only thing going on in the world and that other people have their own experiences too

You're only dreaming you're free
You may feel like you are able to act without consequences or responsibility, but eventually reality will catch up to you
You will show up while I'm dreaming
You will reappear in my thoughts and feelings even when I am not thinking about you consciously
Out of nowhere cross my way
Suddenly and unexpectedly, you will enter my life and affect me in ways I can't predict
You will ask me not to scream and
You will try to prevent me from expressing my emotions and reacting strongly to your behavior
You will smile and you will say, "dear friend,
You will try to placate me and act friendly, but I will still feel hurt and resentful

You're only dreaming, dreaming...
I believe that you are creating a false sense of reality and are not facing the truth of our situation

I cried to this. I grew up in rough Detroit. Getting jumped everyday as a kid for no reason, Stayed getting picked on.. my grades started dropping in middle school I felt dumb would get called dumb mom didnโt care, She would just look at my report card and just throw it away. I dropped out in 8th grade, Started breaking into houses, stealing, didnt feel like my life had no meaning fast forward a few years at 16 my dad that was barley there steeped up and took all my 5 siblings in away from our mom. Dad gave me purpose really sat me down and told me all the adversaries I would go thru as a young man and to look the other way just stay focused and keep your head in them books. Dad put me back in school. And my first card marking my dumbass made the honor roll!!! two years later I graduated with honors๐ญ Here I am now at 28 educated making 65k a year living in my own condo with a nice whip in the garage and Iโm striving next year to make a 100k thank god keep dreaming yโall
