No Need For Dreaming
MisterWives Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will follow you
'Til there's no beat left within me
There's no need for dreaming
You shake the insides
Of what I hide
Brought me to life
Conquered all of my shy

There's no need for dreaming

Hope was drifting far away from me
Further out to sea, oh whoa
Comfortable with being lonely
Woe is me, oh whoa
Unaware of all my sorrow
Swallow, whoa, my happiness
You dug down deep and pulled out the peace
Love was released, oh whoa

I will follow you
'Til there's no beat left within me
There's no need for dreaming
You shake the insides
Of what I hide
Brought me to life
Conquered all of my shy

There's no need for dreaming
There's no need for dreaming

No hold on the days
That we spent wasting away
You let me in
Without ever seeking friends
You overflowed my soul
And made all good things grow
And no, no, we're not made for sorrow

I will follow you
'Til there's no beat left within me
There's no need for dreaming
You shake the insides
Of what I hide
Brought me to life
Conquered all of my shy

There's no need for dreaming
There's no need for dreaming

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to MisterWives's song "No Need For Dreaming" convey a sense of disbelief and newfound joy. The singer expresses how they never expected to experience such blissful reality, having spent most of their life expecting tragedy. However, they credit their partner (the "you" in the song) for bringing light into their life that cannot be fought, and ensuring they will not let this newfound happiness "die." They promise to follow their partner to the end and that there's "no need for dreaming" since their love has come to fruition. The track is riddled with romantic depictions of love and its ability to transform and heal one's life.

Line by Line Meaning

Never ever knew that this could be
I did not expect to experience this.

My reality, oh whoa
My life is much better than I thought it would be.

All my years expecting tragedy
For a long time, I anticipated bad things happening to me.

Crashing down on me, oh whoa
All of my fears and negative experiences came to me suddenly.

Within you there's a light, I could not fight
You have a special quality that I find impossible to resist.

Even if I tried, oh whoa
Even if I made an effort, I would not be able to resist.

Forever by my side in this ride
You will always be there for me.

We'll never let this die, oh whoa
Our connection will never fade away.

I will follow you
I will stick with you.

'Til there's no beat left within me
I will be with you until I die.

There's no need for dreaming
My reality with you is better than any dream.

You shake the insides
You make me feel alive and passionate.

Of what I hide
You bring out the best in me, even the parts I try to keep hidden.

Brought me to life
You have given me new energy and meaning.

Conquered all of my shy
You have helped me overcome my shyness and insecurity.

Hope was drifting far away from me
I felt as though I had lost all hope.

Further out to sea, oh whoa
I felt lost and alone.

Comfortable with being lonely
I had gotten used to being alone.

Woe is me, oh whoa
I was feeling sorry for myself.

Unaware of all my sorrow
I was not fully conscious of my sadness.

Swallow, whoa, my happiness
My sadness was overwhelming and consuming.

You dug down deep and pulled out the peace
You helped me find inner peace and contentment.

Love was released, oh whoa
Love overcame all of my negative emotions.

No hold on the days
I do not want to dwell on days gone by.

That we spent wasting away
Days where we did not accomplish much.

You let me in
You allowed me into your life.

Without ever seeking friends
You did not need to seek other people out because you had me.

You overflowed my soul
You brought me great joy and fulfillment.

And made all good things grow
You helped me reach my full potential and grow as a person.

And no, no, we're not made for sorrow
We are meant to be happy and fulfilled.

I will follow you,
till you watch my cover and
there's no need for pestering.
It'll just take one glance,
just a single chance,
You might actually find,
that I'm not complete garbage.

That was very ryhme-y. Good job me.

(And yes, yes, sorry for this shameless act of self advertising.)

"I love your voice Mandy!" I do too, it's just really hard to appreciate when it's mastered with zero dynamic range and takes a manufactured instrumental rather than actual instruments. Typical Pop sound and I really, really hate to be saying that after going through this album : (

You want to hear typical pop? Go listen to Moment Like You by Lia Marie Johnson. This, however, sounds nothing like pop music.

+twentyonevideos 4you I would have to agree, when you really look into the lyrics. It seems to be about feeling like you're not worth it, but then slowly letting God in (the light) and then allowing him to fill your life with light. Then finally choosing to follow him until the very end of your life ( nothing left within me ) and there is no need for dreaming ( heaven is perfect, there's no need to dream for anything when you're in heaven ) That's just my interpretation of the song💕
