The Dream
Zoldar and Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching up, trying not to break it
Takin' it for granted like I always thought I'd make it
Takin' life for granted like I always thought I'd skate it
Holdin' down all the doubts
Tryin' to live a new life all out
Running through the dreams of the field
Trynna' catch my breath and I feel like I'm going through
Giving all I got even when I don't want to
Just past my finger tips
Glimpses of eternity in between the sips
Staring at her eyes and I see
Ships passing in the night prayin' that she blesses me
Calling on the birds of the sea
Flyin' through the fog but I'm prayin' that they liftin' me
All the way up
Flyin' through the storm and I'm hopin' I'm all the way up
What truth ain't you tellin' me
Hidin' behind a mask, just who you tryin' to be
Take it off let us see
Take it off and let it be come and be set free
Longin' for a new life, just right
Mud on my fingertips trynna catch a new sight
Lookin' up to the sky like
Trynna catch a glimpse of the sun when its burnin' bright
Darkness all around me even when it ain't night
Falling through the void grasping at the star light
Reachin' out but my grips not holding tight
Accelerating, lost the fight
Infinite melodies come burning down
Eternity seeping in through the sound
Startin' to feel my spirit on the rebound
Something like a wave propagating through the holy ground
Thru the peaks and the valleys feel the rushing wind
Hope whispers to me even when I can't win
Though I seek to rally what I can't see
Something's pulling me towards what I want to be
Call it destiny, call it purpose
I don't give a fuck just gotta serve it
Layin' down my life for the dream
In the midst prayin' that you and me set free
Climbin' up the ladder trynna find my rest
Truly all I want is to be my best
Holdin' down all that's good close to my chest
Layin' under waves watchin' as they crest
Toes in the sand, laying on her breast
Heart beats matchin' cause this ain't a test
Sun creepin' down I can feel her on my neck
Embraced by the warmth of her smile, I will never fret
Palm trees swayin' while their roots branch far below
Guardians of the light but they'll never know
Blind to the life that courses through their veins
Simply alive. That's all I'm tryin' to say
Wind bringing thoughts of no regrets
I'm going all in cause I gotta cash my bets
Fuck destiny cause ain't nothing set
Lookin' back and second guessing all my choices 's the only threat
Crossin' all my t's and dottin' all my i's
Voices whispering telling me it's my demise
Running through the field catching all our dreams to be
Prayin' that in this life we'll all be set free
The song "The Dream" by Zoldar and Clark is a reflection on life and trying to find one's purpose. The lyrics describe the struggle of trying not to give up or give in to doubt, while also recognizing the fleeting nature of existence. The artist seems to be seeking something greater than himself, possibly a deeper understanding of the world or a higher spiritual purpose. This is evidenced by lines calling on the birds of the sea and seeking glimpses of eternity in between sips.
The artist also grapples with the idea of identity, urging listeners to take off their masks and be honest about who they are. They are longing for a new life, full of meaning and purpose, but aware that the journey to get there is uncertain and difficult. Images of falling through a void and grasping at starlight reinforce the idea of striving towards something just out of reach. Ultimately, the artist concludes that they must lay down their life for the dream, hoping to find freedom and peace in the process.
Overall, "The Dream" is a poetic meditation on the human condition and the search for truth, purpose and meaning in life.

Guardians of the light but they'll never know
Appreciating the unnoticed beauty in life
Blind to the life that courses through their veins
Unaware of the inner workings of nature
Simply alive. That's all I'm tryin' to say
Appreciating the simple and beautiful aspects of life
Wind bringing thoughts of no regrets
Feeling at peace with one's past
I'm going all in cause I gotta cash my bets
Taking risks for the chance to succeed
Fuck destiny cause ain't nothing set
Challenging fate and taking control of one's life
Lookin' back and second guessing all my choices 's the only threat
Feeling doubtful about past decisions
Crossin' all my t's and dottin' all my i's
Paying attention to details
Voices whispering telling me it's my demise
Feeling self-doubt and fear
Running through the field catching all our dreams to be
Chasing after one's dreams
Prayin' that in this life we'll all be set free
Hoping for freedom and happiness
