Dream In
Virtuoso Lyrics

Dreams! things aren't all that they seem
The world we see in our dreams is different from reality.

Dreams! life's not all about cream
In our dreams, we may get everything we desire, but in reality, life is not that simple.

Dreams! please say it all was a dream
There are times when we hope that everything that happened was just a dream and not real life.

'cause the fight for real life's like a horrible scene
The hardships we face in real life can be stressful and painful, like a scene from a horror movie.

(Virt wake up!)
The artist is trying to snap himself out of a dark and disturbing dream.

the enemy's here
It seems there is an adversary in the dream, representing the challenges we face in real life.

they trying ta' take us
The enemy is attempting to harm or defeat the artist.

let 'em see how the weaponry makes their frame break up
The artist is prepared to defend himself, and is confident his weapons will defeat the enemy.

it seems threads of life make up our stitch in time
The different aspects of our lives are like threads woven together that form the fabric of our existence.

after the bomb dropped dawn got a different shine
Following a catastrophic event, things will never be the same and the world becomes a different place.

I find that it burns like a fire on the hearth
The pain from these experiences is like a constant, burning sensation.

I learned this day would come they were liars from the start
The artist became aware that some of what he was told was false, and he would come face to face with a difficult reality.

my pride is in my heart so you'll never know
The artist carries his pride within him and does not need external validation.

how far Miguel will go until they digging up your skeletal remains
The artist is willing to go to great lengths to defend his beliefs and values, even if it means losing his life.

I see change on the horizon or is it just the next bomber as it flies in
The artist is hopeful for change but is also aware that danger still looms on the horizon.

wise men once let me know if it's not worth it then let it go
The artist was taught by wise individuals that sometimes it is better to let things go instead of fighting for something not worth the effort.

or pop first and dead your foe
The artist is contemplating when it is acceptable to use violence to defend oneself.

now it seems like the options are dropping
The artist is reflecting on how, despite their efforts to defend themselves, their options are becoming limited.

there's no more talking smart bombs are locked in
The situation has escalated to military force, and there is no room for diplomacy.

and more often than not innocent people gotta get dropped for their leaders horrible plot
In times of war, innocent people often become casualties of the battles fought by their leaders.

while the one calling the shots fly free as a bird
Those in power are often the ones who benefit from war and conflict, while the common people suffer.

words they speak are absurd though they're frequently heard
Words spoken by those in power can often be confusing or even ridiculous, yet they continue to maintain control.

'cause they control the radio
The media is often under the control of those in power, so getting alternative voices heard is difficult.

it's crazy though the dj's won't play me though unless I line their bank account with crazy dough
Even if artists speak truth to power, getting their message across can be impossible if it does not make money for those in control.

and even corporate labels deep into debt, through spending in deficit bootlegging and internet
The music industry is suffering due to unauthorized distribution of content, and record labels are resorting to drastic measures to promote their artists and make profits.

meet the new me see a brain that's been cloned silicone flesh meshed with titanium bones
The artist is figuratively reborn, showcasing a new persona that is a combination of his real self and a manufactured image.

I'm aiming my poems, at dictators reigning on thrones who raised their seeds cold in a cradle of stone
The artist writes his lyrics as a form of resistance against repressive leaders who have a legacy of mistreating their people.

then cast them in the street never gave them a home
Leaders who are oppressive are also often neglectful of the people they govern, refusing even to provide them with basic needs.

the ones who shun the path that our saviors have shown
The artist believes that true leadership should follow in the steps of great leaders in history.

we stole all of the crops that the natives have grown
The artist is aware of the injustices committed against native populations.

we must stick together no one made it alone
The artist believes that to create real change, it requires the collective effort of many people.

'cause radiation give you cancer in your face from your phone
The artist recognizes that technology, while useful, can also have negative effects on our health.

or your throat from the smoke when you blazing a bone
The artist is aware of the dangers of smoking.

when you don't agree with leaders and behavior they've shown speak out there's no effect if your state is unknown
It can be useless to speak out against oppression if one is not in a position of influence.

I got sick of talking and caught aids in my poem now I spit from a coffin and a grave is my dome
The artist is using his lyrics to fight against injustice until the bitter end.

I grown by own body from dirt and grime it blows my damn mind like my brain was a landmine
The artist has come a long way from hardship and can scarcely believe his own success.

and I can't find a path out this nightmare does it end right here or extend for light years?!
The struggles of real life feel inescapable, and the artist questions if they will ever end or only continue into the future.
