Living My Dream
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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. The first verse talks about the singer sitting and thinking, probably feeling defeated after a few setbacks in achieving their goal. They express discontentment with their current situation and believe that there has to be a better way. 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.

Now I sit and think
Reflecting on his life and current situation
Another lousy drink
Drinking to ease his pain and sorrows
There has got to be a better way
Looking for a way out of his current situation
They can't pull my chain
Refusing to be controlled by others
I'm the one to blame
Taking responsibility for his own actions
It's for sure there always gonna pay
Others will face consequences for their own actions eventually
Finder's keepers, losers, weepers, haters, lovers ... a world away
The world is full of people with different attitudes and intentions
I'm always alone in my dreamland
Living in a world of his own imagination
I'll show them I'm living my dream 'till the end
Determined to pursue his dreams despite opposition from others
Can you feel my pain
Asking if others can empathize with his suffering
Tears that fall like rain
Crying uncontrollably due to emotional pain
Fall to dry but never leave a stain
Suffering is temporary and doesn't define a person forever
People never learn
People repeat the same mistakes over and over
For every twist a turn
Life presents different challenges and obstacles
Twisting, burning bridges fall in vain
When relationships break down, they are often irreparable
Ideals and options, a cross for all to bear
Having choices and aspirations can be both a blessing and a burden
Only to fall prey to blind eyes and closed ears
Others may not understand or support one's dreams and aspirations
Without dreams we serve no purpose
Having a sense of purpose and direction is essential for a fulfilling life
Without dreams we walk among the dead
Living a life without meaning or passion is akin to living in a state of numbness or death
I'm always at home in my dreamland
Finding comfort in his own imagination and dreams
I'll show that I'm living my dream 'till the end
Determined to live a life true to himself despite obstacles and challenges
