Living My Dream
Rage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I sit and think
Another lousy drink
There has got to be a better way
They can't pull my chain
I'm the one to blame
It's for sure there always gonna pay

Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away

I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream 'till the end
That's right

Can you feel my pain
Tears that fall like rain
Fall to dry but never leave a stain
People never learn
For every twist a turn
Twisting, burning bridges fall in vain

Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away

I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream 'till the end
I'm always at home in my dreamland
I'll show that I'm living my dream 'till the end

Ideals and options, a cross for all to bear
Only to fall prey to blind eyes and closed ears
Without dreams we serve no purpose
Without dreams we walk among the dead

Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away

I'm always alone in my dreamland
I'll show them I'm living my dream 'till the end




I'm always at home in my dreamland
I'll show that I'm living my dream 'till the end

Overall Meaning

The song Living My Dream by Rage is about the struggles of pursuing one's dream, the feeling of being alone in that pursuit, and the frustration of not being understood by others.

They also acknowledge that they are the only ones responsible for their situation and that their efforts to achieve their dream will always pay off.


The chorus affirms the singer's state of mind, that they are always alone in their dreamland. They are determined to show the world that they are living their dream until the end. In the second verse, the singer expresses their pain, an emotion that they try to suppress but never goes away. They also comment on the impossibility of people learning from their mistakes, and how every wrong turn leads to burning bridges.


The third verse contemplates the cross that all people bear, the constant struggle to stay true to one's ideals and options. They also highlight the danger of being blinded by the opinions of others and the need to have a dream to give one purpose. The chorus is repeated, affirming once again the singer's determination to live their dream until the end.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are about the battle for self-actualization and the frustration that comes with it. The world may not always understand one's choices, but one must stay true to themselves and keep pushing towards their goal.
