True Coming Dream
Pale Saints Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you still here
? ? ? rushes on
And you think it's wrong
They're only in your head
Things you create
Just the empty shells
Of ? ? ? yesterdays

So you never breathe a word
Selfish (? ) with yourself
Until you break in two
? ? ? all you want to do
Until your dreams come true


Drugged sensibilities
Sketches I have made
? ? ?
? ? ?
? ? ?




? ? ? all you want to do
Until your dreams come true

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pale Saints's song True Coming Dream are poetically cryptic and ambiguous. The song seems to be about the concept of escapism and the power of dreams. The opening lines "Are you still here? Time rushes on, and you think it's wrong" suggest a feeling of dissatisfaction and a desire to escape. The next line, "They're only in your head, things you create," suggests that the singer believes that their problems are self-made and therefore not real. The line "just the empty shells of yesterdays" could be interpreted as a reference to the past and the idea that the past holds no weight in the present.


The second verse continues this theme of escapism and self-delusion. The lines "so you never breathe a word, selfish (? ) with yourself until you break in two" suggest that the singer is keeping their feelings and desires to themselves, which is slowly tearing them apart. The line "sketches I have made, of ? ? ? " is a little more ambiguous but suggests that the singer is creating mental images of what they want their life to be like. The final lines "drugged sensibilities, until your dreams come true" suggests that the singer is using their dreams to escape their current situation, but it's not entirely clear if this is a positive or negative thing.
