In My Dreams
Sanity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who never knew what it was like to fall
But you came along and changed all the rules that day
And just for a moment I had it all
You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams
Now I go on here in my lonely world
And there's still a bridge I cannot cross
I can't let go so please forgive me girl
Cause God only knows
All that I've lost
You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
In every prayer I pray
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams
Now that you left me
While you forget me
You are the dream I live with
You are the wish I made
The name I always whisper
In every prayer I pray
Now that you left me
While you forget me, I'll hold you in my dreams
In "In My Dreams", Sanity sings about the pain of losing someone they loved deeply. They used to believe that they were immune to heartbreak, that they would never fall in love or experience the intense feelings that come with it. However, their world changed when this person came into their lives. For a moment, they had everything they ever wanted, but now that person is gone, and they are left alone in their lonely world.
Sanity pleads for forgiveness from this person, admitting that they cannot let go of the love they had for them. They are left with nothing but the memories and dreams of what could have been. In their dreams, they hold onto this person, remembering all the joy and love they shared even though they have left them in reality.
The lyrics are a poignant reminder of the pain that comes with losing someone we love deeply. Despite this, the song is also a tribute to the power of love and how it can transform our lives, even if it is only for a fleeting moment.
