Dreamers
Nico Yaryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried looking but I couldn't see
Or I didn't trust my eyes
I tried hearing what you're saying to me
But it sounded like a lie
I've been dreaming such a long time
It's hard to tell when it's real
Is this the way
It's supposed to feel?
Times are hard for dreamers
For you and me
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know what it means
The sun shines upon me
And I feel the rays
But will the sun keep shining?
Beyond the end of the day
Been dreaming such a long time
It's hard to tell when it's real
Is this the way
It's supposed to feel?
Times are hard for dreamers
For you and me




I wanna be a believer
I wanna know what it means

Line by Line Meaning

I tried looking but I couldn't see
I attempted to observe, but my sight failed me


Or I didn't trust my eyes
Or perhaps I lacked faith in what I saw


I tried hearing what you're saying to me
I made an effort to listen to what you were communicating


But it sounded like a lie
However, it resonated as dishonesty to me


I've been dreaming such a long time
I've been indulging in hope and aspirations for an extended duration


It's hard to tell when it's real
Ascertaining reality amidst this feels challenging


Is this the way It's supposed to feel?
I question whether this sense is the correct one to experience


Times are hard for dreamers
This epoch isn't easy for those fantasizing


For you and me
For every one of us


I wanna be a believer
I want to believe unequivocally


I wanna know what it means
I crave comprehension about this state of being


The sun shines upon me
The sunlight illuminates me


And I feel the rays
I can sense the warmth and light


But will the sun keep shining?
But will this illumination and warmth continue?


Beyond the end of the day
Beyond the approaching conclusion of the day
