Dreamlike
VACATIONER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where would, we be,
If you could see,
Hold on, can't fade, can't be
You want one, worries, to get ahead, ...
Hold on to cares, please

All of our fun, all we've grown to love
All at once, spun away
Out of ... world where I'm known to go
All our hopes, spun away, ay, ay, ay

Whoo, who knew if you're coming home
You had it in your life, but you lost it in your mind
Whoo, who knew if you're ever coming home
You had it in your life, but you lost it in your mind
Dreamlike

Where would, we be
If you were, with me
Hold on, can't fade, can't be
I don't want, to say
That you love me, you know me
Just go on... to leave

All of our fun, all we've grown to love
All we know spun away, ay, ay, ay,
Away, ay, ay, ay, ay,

Whoo, who knew if you're coming home
You are living your life, but you lost it in your mind
Whooo, who knew if you're ever coming home
You are living your life, but you lost it in your mind,
Dreamlike





Whoo, whooo, whooo,
Whoa-oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vacationer's song Dreamlike are open to interpretation, but they seem to explore the emotional aftermath of a lost love. The song is imbued with a sense of longing and nostalgia. The first stanza sets the tone, with the singer asking, "Where would we be if you could see?" It's as if the person he's addressing is not present, and he's speculating about what might have been. He continues, "All of our fun, all we've grown to love / All at once, spun away." Here, the reference to fun that's been "spun away" suggests the impermanence of life's pleasures.


The chorus of the song is where the emotional punch comes in. The image of being "dreamlike" suggests a state of unreality or disconnection from everyday experience. The lines "Whoo, who knew if you're coming home / You had it in your life, but you lost it in your mind" convey a sense of confusion and despair, as if the person he's addressing has lost their sense of self and place in the world. The repetition of "whoo, whoo, whoo" at the end of the chorus emphasizes the desperation of the situation.


The second stanza returns to the theme of loss, with the singer suggesting that the person he's addressing is leaving or has already left. He implores them to "hold on" and not to "fade," but it seems that he's speaking in vain. The final chorus repeats the same sentiments as before, with the singer grappling with the reality of a love that's been lost or changed beyond recognition.


Overall, Dreamlike is a song that captures the bittersweet nature of love and loss. Its dreamy and introspective tone invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of heartbreak and the ways in which they've coped with the pain.
