Just Another Dream
Stick Figure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up in my favorite place
My studio is my new hiding space
This cold dark room is all I need
Won't someone get me off my feet

So I walk alone, through these streets
Got my headphones, and I've got these beats
And no one knows that I'm gone
Well I just wanted to be alone
Just to be alone, yeah just to be alone
Just to be alone, yeah just to be alone

Which way from here shall I go?
And time is lost on this open road
You win or lose, it's just a lesson learned
It's the road I choose, I show no concern

There's a time to live, a time to die
A time to laugh and a time to cry
A time for love, no time for hate
The world can be so heavy, can you feel its weight?
Well now I know, yeah, yes well now I know
Well now I know, yeah, yes well now I know

Things are finally looking up I won't be shot back down
The truth can hurt and turn your world upside down
Caught in the middle, what goes around comes around
Are we all just dreaming? Are we all just dreaming?

You can get me high, you can get me low
But you can't tell me how to live my life, you know?
As certain as it seems, I think you might agree
Well is this real life, or just another dream yeah? Yeah
It's just another dream
It's just another dream




It's just another dream
It's just another dream

Overall Meaning

In this song, Stick Figure's lead singer reflects on his life and his choices, seeking solace in his music and his studio. The first stanza describes his sanctuary, his cold and dark studio, where he can escape and be himself. He emphasizes the importance of being alone and finding peace in solitude, as the world can sometimes weigh heavily on us. In the second stanza, he finds himself on an open road, questioning which way to go. He acknowledges the ups and downs of life, the lessons it brings and the choices we make. There is a time for everything, he reflects, including love and hate, and the world can often seem too heavy to bear.


The chorus is a reflection of Stick Figure's newfound hope and perspective. He acknowledges that things are finally looking up for him, and he won't be shot back down. He recognizes that truth can be painful, but he has learned to accept it and move forward. He poses the question, "Are we all just dreaming?", as if to ask whether life is real or just a figment of our imagination. In the final stanza, he asserts his autonomy and individuality, proclaiming that no one can dictate how he lives his life. He challenges his listeners to question the nature of reality and reminds them that it's just another dream.

Unique for sure. I was just in my local LQ and a couple of ladies a mom and daughter heard it and were interested. I had to shut them down cause I was already buzzed but they left knowing I was listening to Stick Figure. They LOVED It. Hope they had a Great Safe Night! God Bless! Stick Figure is my Goose Fraba Music! I have a few people that are fans now after bumping him on the job site. Love to hear it!
