This is Remember the Day.
Just a Dream
Remember The Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They run together, it helps remind me
To slow down before this is forgotten once again
But it got me by another day
So I run until it comes time to awake
I realize that this could all have been just a dream
Have I painted this picture, its all in my head
How does it feel to be so free, no expectations
Only wish that was me
To be able to enjoy this, and forget what lies ahead
Nothing else should matter, I can only hope
So I run until it comes time to awake
I realize that this could all have been just a dream
Have I painted this picture, its all in my head
Now imagine yourself waking to find its only begun
So I run until it comes time to awake
I realize that this could all have been just a dream
Have I painted this picture, its all in my head
Now imagine yourself waking to find its only begun
The song "Just a Dream" by Remember The Day explores the theme of fleeting moments and the importance of taking the time to appreciate them before they are gone. The opening lines, "Sit and watch the colors bleed, they run together, it helps remind me to slow down before this is forgotten once again," set the tone for the song, highlighting the idea that time moves quickly and it's important to pause and take in the world around us before it slips away.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that life can feel like a dream or an illusion, with the lyrics "I realize that this could all have been just a dream, have I painted this picture, it's all in my head, now imagine yourself waking to find it's only begun." This highlights the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living in the present moment, rather than constantly looking to the future or dwelling on the past.
The final verse expresses a longing for freedom from expectations and a desire to fully enjoy life without worrying about what lies ahead. The lyrics, "How does it feel to be so free, no expectations, only wish that was me, to be able to enjoy this, and forget what lies ahead, nothing else should matter, I can only hope," suggest a yearning for a simpler, more carefree life.
Overall, "Just a Dream" is a reflective and poignant song that encourages listeners to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world around them before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
Sit and watch the colors bleed
Observing the color mixture reminds me to take a step back and appreciate the present moment.
They run together, it helps remind me
The colors blend and bleed into each other, serving as a metaphor for how life can move too quickly and I need to remember to slow down.
To slow down before this is forgotten once again
Taking time to appreciate the present moment is important because it is fleeting and can easily slip away if not given our attention.
But it got me by another day
Focusing on the present helped me get through another day and gave me a sense of peace.
So I run until it comes time to awake
I'm so caught up in the present moment that I want to stay there for as long as possible, avoiding the reality of having to return to everyday life.
I realize that this could all have been just a dream
The present moment may feel perfect and surreal, but in reality, it could just be a fleeting dream-like experience.
Have I painted this picture, its all in my head
Perhaps my perception of what's happening is merely a creation of my own mind, not necessarily reflective of reality.
Now imagine yourself waking to find its only begun
The thought of returning to reality after a moment of peace and freedom is disheartening, as it means that the best is yet to come.
How does it feel to be so free, no expectations
In the present moment, without the burdens of expectations or responsibilities, it's easy to feel truly free and unencumbered.
Only wish that was me
The artist is envious of the others who are living freely and wishes to experience that freedom for themselves.
To be able to enjoy this, and forget what lies ahead

If you wanna sing along
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream
I was at the top and now its like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now she find her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around baby I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got the ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair
My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife
She left me, I'm tied
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream
When I be ridin' man I swear I see her face at every turn
Tryna get my Usher on but I can't let it Burn
And I just hopes she know that she the only one I yearn for
More and more I miss her, when will I learn
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone
But she made the decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream
I was thinking bout her, thinkin' bout me
Thinkin' bout us, what we gon' be
Open my eyes yeah, it was only Just A Dream
So I traveled back, down that road
Will she come back, no one knows
I realize yeah, it was only Just A Dream
