Dreaming
Syrian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Sun keeps shining into the sky
And the stars keep burning into the night
The world continues to spin
Blind to the trouble that we're in

I'm dreaming, as the days go by
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as seasons die
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as the time flies by
(In the deep of the night)
I'm living, not asking why

You run as if you are caught on fire
And you speak as if you are not a liar
Everyone else moves along
Seeing a clear right from wrong

I'm dreaming, as the days go by
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as seasons die
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as the time flies by
(In the deep of the night)
I'm living, not asking why

I'm dreaming, as the days go by
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as seasons die
(In the deep of the night)
I'm dreaming, as the time flies by
(In the deep of the night)
Forever, not asking why





I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming tonight
I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Syrian's song Dreaming convey feelings of escapism and a sense of detachment from reality. The first stanza describes the natural world in a state of oblivion to the troubles that exist within human society. The artistry of Syrian's lyrics is his comparison between the unyielding nature of the world with the ever-changing, uncertain world of people. As the world continues to spin, the singer of the song dreams, perhaps as a way to detach himself from the current chaos that surrounds him.


The second verse, with its imagery of running and speaking as if not a liar, could be interpreted as the singer’s attempt to break free from societal expectations and norms. At this point of the song, Syrian offers a slightly different perspective than the first verse, where the world simply spins without any real consciousness of the troubles of human society. Here, Syrian is speaking more personally, describing the singer as someone who wants to live without the constraints of societal pressures, while everyone else seems comfortable with the status quo.


The chorus, repeated twice, emphasizes the theme of dreaming and living without questioning, presenting an idea of radical freedom against the mundane and predictable life. The final line of the chorus, “Forever, not asking why,” shows a sense of commitment in his attempt to escape the society’s norms, whereas the last line of the song is simply softly spoken, emphasizing the importance of the dreams versus the reality of life.


Overall, Dreaming by Syrian is an introspective piece that explores the idea of escaping the society’s norms, breaking free from societal expectations, and finding solace in dreams.
