The Dream
The Gentleman's Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fighting thoughts, my head is spinning round again
But I still remember, the moonlight dreams
(in these moonlight dreams)
Our time pulled apart, by the poetry of life
Put my faith in my heart but it hurts just like a knife
I still remember
I feel you next to me
Underneath the nightfall
In your arms I fall and I'm free
I still see you in my dreams
Still connected through these distant memories
We will dance into infinity it seems
In these moonlight dreams
Falling like a feather through these endless dreams
in this lucid moment we will never leave
I still remember
I feel you next to me
Underneath the nightfall
In your arms I fall and I'm free
I still see you in my dreams
Still connected through these distant memories
We will dance into infinity it seems
In these moonlight dreams

These memories bring them solace and evoke a sense of freedom and comfort, symbolized by falling into the person's arms.

The imagery of the "poetry of life" suggests that life's circumstances or fate have played a role in pulling them apart.
