Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like (I'd like)
To say I'm home
But I'm not
(I'm not home anymore)
cnd I'd like (I'd like)
To know (to know)
What it would feel like
From all the pain
Every time I try I fall back to the start
You can win
You can lose
You can try
You can fail
But in the end (in the end)
This is all a dream
I know (I know)
I'd like (I'd like)
To say I'm fine but I'm not
(I'm not home anymore)
cnd I'd like (I'd like)
To know where all the happiness went I can't see in this world of mine
Every time I try i fall (every-time I try i fall)
You can win you can lose (you can win you can lose)
But I'm the end (in the end)
This is all a dream
Every time I try I fall (every-time i try i fall)
You can win you can lose (you can win you can lose)
But in the end (in the end)
This is all a dream
To me
The lyrics to "Just A Dream" express a sense of longing for a place of belonging and freedom from pain. The singer acknowledges that they are not at home anymore and wishes to know what it feels like to be free from all the pain they are experiencing. They emphasize the recurring theme of falling back to the start whenever they try, highlighting the potential for both success and failure. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the reality they find themselves in is akin to a dream, where they are constantly searching for happiness but unable to grasp it.
The repetition of phrases like "I know" and "I'd like" conveys a deep yearning for understanding and a desire to express their true feelings. The reference to not being home anymore implies a sense of displacement or feeling out of touch with their surroundings. The line "to be free from all the pain" points to an emotional and possibly physical burden that they wish to escape.
In the second verse, the singer reiterates their longing to say they are fine, but admits that they are not. They question where all the happiness has gone, suggesting that they are unable to find joy or contentment in their world. The idea of falling every time they try indicates a repeated cycle of setbacks and disappointments.
The overall interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is grappling with a feeling of being lost and disconnected. They are yearning for a sense of freedom and happiness, but are faced with the reality that their current circumstances are like a dream they cannot awaken from. It conveys a sense of frustration and the constant struggle to find a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
