Undying Dreams
Reflexion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Run as far as you can go
Touch the whirl of wind,
Fly and hope you never fall
You won't fall
Never lose you home,
When the world gets painful and cold
If you turn your back to the hope
And let the darkness veil your soul
All the millions of dreams that you've got,
Are wiped away with no meaning
Those thousands of hearts that you broke,
Are crushed, no, without feeling
Despise the one who cares,
Hate the one who tries to help
Who tries to help
The pain becomes your bliss,
When you rely on a truth that doesn't exist
It doesn't exist
Now you have lost your home,
And the one that loved you the most
Undying dreams are gone,
And your heart is cold like stone
And you still end up alone
(Chorus)
All the millions of dreams that you've got
Are wiped away with no meaning
Those thousands of hearts that you broke
Are crushed without a feeling
You can't hide all the scars in your soul,
They will haunt you cause you're still bleeding
You have taken this way too far,
Just to show and feel
In despair you have sacrificied it all,
Everything that matters the most
All the millions of dreams that you've got
Are wiped away with no meaning
Those thousands of hearts that you broke, they're lost...
(Chorus)
You're not alone
The lyrics of "Undying Dreams" by Reflexion serve as a cautionary tale for those who have lost their way and have turned their backs on hope. The song begins by urging the listener to seize the moment and run as far as they can, to fly with the whirl of the wind, and to never give up. However, it warns that if you turn your back on hope and let darkness consume you, your dreams will fall and your soul will be veiled in darkness.
The song then discusses the consequences of one's actions by stating that all the millions of dreams that one might have are wiped away with no meaning and that thousands of hearts that were broken are crushed without feeling. The lyrics suggest that one should not despise those who care for them and should not rely on a truth that doesn't exist. The pain might become your bliss but it is important to not lose hope.
The chorus reiterates the idea that one can't hide the scars in their soul and that actions have consequences. The song ends with a message of hope, reminding the listener that they are not alone in their struggles. Altogether, the lyrics remind the listener that it is vital to not lose sight of hope, and to not let the darkness consume them.
Line by Line Meaning
Seize the passing while,
Take advantage of the moment, don't waste time
Run as far as you can go
Escape, anything is better than staying in your situation
Touch the whirl of wind,
Experience the thrill of the unknown
Fly and hope you never fall
Take a risk with the expectation of success
You won't fall
Confidence in your abilities to succeed
Never lose your home,
Hold onto your roots, your values
When the world gets painful and cold
In times of difficulty or isolation
Undying dreams can fall,
No dream is too great to fail
If you turn your back to the hope
If you give up on hope
And let the darkness veil your soul
And succumb to the negativity surrounding you
All the millions of dreams that you've got,
Every goal you have ever put effort into
Are wiped away with no meaning
Are overturned with no significance
Those thousands of hearts that you broke,
The many people you have disappointed
Are crushed, no, without feeling
They have moved on without a second thought
Despise the one who cares,
Reject the ones who try to help and care for you
Hate the one who tries to help
Resent those who try to support you
The pain becomes your bliss,
You find solace in your distress
When you rely on a truth that doesn't exist
When you believe in false hopes or expectations
It doesn't exist
It is not real
Now you have lost your home,
You have lost your sense of belonging
And the one that loved you the most
Those closest to you have left or don't recognize you anymore
Undying dreams are gone,
The future has lost its luster
And your heart is cold like stone
You have shut down emotionally, abandoned relationships
And you still end up alone
Your choices and behavior have led you to isolation
(Chorus)
Repeating the message of hopelessness and despair
You can't hide all the scars in your soul,
The pain of your past is internalized and cannot be ignored
They will haunt you cause you're still bleeding
The wounds still affect you on a daily basis
You have taken this way too far,
You have allowed your self-destructive tendencies to escalate
Just to show and feel
To display an image of strength or lack of emotion, even if it's not truly felt
In despair you have sacrificied it all,
Your despair has led you to lose everything
Everything that matters the most
The things that once had significance to you are gone
You're not alone
A final message offering a small glimmer of hope
