In My Dreams
Ravenous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rotten bodies all around
And I see me running away
Followed by my own fear
And I'm swimming in a lake
The seashore can't be reached
And I see me above the clouds
And I see the soldiers fighting
Slaughtering on a parched field
And I see my mirror-image
Turning in a rotten face
And I see me in my dreams
Falling from a higher bridge
And I see you in my dreams
Weeping for my dying body
And I see us lying down
Holding us in our arms
And I see your naked body
Like the perfect beauty
The lyrics of Ravenous's song In My Dreams appear to be describing the various disturbing dreams that the singer is having. The first stanza describes a nightmare where the singer is witnessing children dying and their bodies rotting around them. They attempt to run away but are unable to escape their own fear. The second stanza describes a dream where the singer is swimming in a lake and unable to reach the shore. They then see themselves above the clouds with no land in sight. The third stanza describes a dream where soldiers are fighting and killing each other on a parched field. The singer then sees their own reflection turning into a rotten face. The fourth stanza is perhaps the most chilling, as it describes the singer dreaming of falling from a high bridge and seeing someone they care about weeping for their dying body. Finally, the last stanza ends on a more positive note, as the singer sees themselves and their lover lying down, holding each other and the lover's naked body is described as being the perfect beauty.
Overall, it seems that the theme of the song is centered around the emotions that come with having vivid and often disturbing dreams, as well as the desire to escape or find comfort from these dreams in the arms of someone they love. The lyrics are quite powerful in their description of these nightmares, and the contrast between the violent imagery of the first few stanzas and the tender, loving imagery of the last stanza makes for a striking conclusion.
