The Dream
The Days of the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to take the blame
It's changing through the seasons
Yet always stays the same
I question why you leave
I'm asking you to stay
I'm waking up to see that I was woken yesterday
And when I see, these violet clouds, rain tendencies, of leading me astray
I'm feeling wide awake
I'm feeling like
I'm waking up to see the stars so close to me like I'm in outer space
These supersonic visions that are taking me away
Am I awake
Am I alone
The typical aversions of our human nature shy before my eyes
I wonder if I'm feeling, because I already tried
Am I awake
Am I alone
I wait until I ease up
I wait till it's okay
I always tend to freeze up when I have to ask for things
Can no one hear me
Have I lost my mind
Cause everything's, so quiet now, these vivid dreams, are keeping me awake
Tame us
Feel and be
Just take us
Vivid Dreaming
All that's lost
All that's found
Why not wait and stick around
What I saw
What I feel
What is fake, oh what is real
All that's lost
All that's found
Why not wait and stick around
What I saw
What I feel
(I wonder if I'm feeling because I already tried)
What is fake, oh what is real
All that's lost
All that's found
(These supersonic visions that are taking me around)
Why not wait and stick around
What I saw
What I feel
(I wonder if I'm feeling)
What is fake, oh what is real
Cause everything's, so quiet now, these vivid dreams, are keeping me awake
I'm feeling wide awake
I'm feeling wide awake
The lyrics of The Days of the Moon's song "The Dream" convey a sense of confusion, introspection, and a search for truth within the experience of vivid dreams. The song starts by expressing the singer's contemplation of various reasons and trying to take responsibility for certain outcomes. They acknowledge that life is constantly changing, yet some underlying aspects remain the same. There is a longing for understanding and a push-pull dynamic in relationships, as they question why someone leaves but also ask them to stay. The line, "I'm waking up to see that I was woken yesterday," suggests a realization of being deceived or manipulated in the past.
The chorus speaks to the overwhelming nature of these vivid dreams and how they are keeping the singer awake. The imagery of "violet clouds" and "rain tendencies" implies that these dreams are leading them astray from reality. They feel wide awake, but also question if they are truly alone or if others can relate to the existential dilemmas they face. The mention of "supersonic visions" taking them away adds a surreal element to the song, blurring the line between dream and reality.
The verses continue the exploration of the singer's state of mind. They mention freezing up when they need to ask for things, suggesting a fear of vulnerability and assertiveness. The phrase "have I lost my mind" indicates a possible struggle with one's mental state and the fear of not being heard or understood by others. The bridge section introduces the idea of being tamed and experiencing vivid dreaming, hinting at surrendering oneself to the dreams and their impact.
Overall, "The Dream" speaks to the complexities of human emotions, the blurred boundaries between dreams and reality, and the quest for understanding and connection in a shifting world.

I think of all these reasons
I reflect on all the explanations
I try to take the blame
I attempt to shoulder the responsibility
It's changing through the seasons
It's altering as time passes
Yet always stays the same
Yet remains constant
I question why you leave
I wonder why you depart
I'm asking you to stay
I'm begging you not to go
I'm waking up to see that I was woken yesterday
I'm realizing that I was awakened yesterday
Cause everything's, so quiet now, these vivid dreams, are keeping me awake
Because now everything is silent, these vivid dreams are preventing me from sleeping
And when I see, these violet clouds, rain tendencies, of leading me astray
And when I observe these violet clouds, they exhibit a tendency to misguide me
I'm feeling wide awake
I'm exceptionally alert
I'm feeling like
I feel as if
I'm waking up to see the stars so close to me like I'm in outer space
I'm becoming aware of the stars being remarkably near to me, as if I am in outer space
These supersonic visions that are taking me away
These extremely fast visions are carrying me off
Am I awake
Am I actually conscious
Am I alone
Am I by myself
The typical aversions of our human nature shy before my eyes
The usual dislikes of our human nature retreat in front of me
I wonder if I'm feeling, because I already tried
I speculate if I'm experiencing emotions, as I have already made an effort
I wait until I ease up
I wait until I relax
I wait till it's okay
I wait until it becomes acceptable
I always tend to freeze up when I have to ask for things
I always tend to become motionless when I have to request something
Can no one hear me
Is there no one who can hear me
Have I lost my mind
Have I gone crazy
Tame us
Control us
Feel and be
Experience and exist
Just take us
Simply accept us
Vivid Dreaming
Intensely imaginative dreaming
All that's lost
Everything that is lost
All that's found
Everything that is discovered
Why not wait and stick around
Why not patiently stay and remain
What I saw
What I witnessed
What I feel
What I experience
What is fake, oh what is real
What is false, oh what is genuine
Cause everything's, so quiet now, these vivid dreams, are keeping me awake
Because now everything is silent, these vivid dreams are preventing me from sleeping
I'm feeling wide awake
I'm remarkably alert
I'm feeling wide awake
I'm exceptionally alert
