The Dream
mind.in.a.box Lyrics

I had again been searching through the night,
Once again, I was hunting tirelessly at night, looking for something elusive, and there seemed to be no end to my pursuit.

My hope all but gone and still no end in sight.
Despite my constant search, any hope that I once had is now almost nonexistent, and there does not appear to be any conclusion in sight.

With no clear vision of what to find,
I do not have a precise idea of what I am seeking in my quest.

I'd left my confidence long behind.
Due to my never-ending hunt, I have abandoned my confidence and self-assurance long ago.

My troubled sleep saw the sun rise,
During my chaotic sleep, the sun had risen and started a new day.

My dreams became a blessing in disguise.
Ironically, my dream was not the source of my troubles but rather a hidden blessing in it.

I felt safe, my fear began to break,
During my dream, I was free from fear and anxiety, and my fear started to diminish gradually.

I knew it was real but I was not awake.
Although I was aware that everything in my dream was happening, I was not physically awake to control or manipulate it.

You fell asleep and now you're mine.
In my dream, you have fallen asleep and are now under my control.

I feel so helpless and so weak.
Despite my newfound power over you, I am still vulnerable and powerless in other aspects of my life.

Just let go and embrace your dream.
You should relinquish control and fully immerse yourself in your dream.

I've lost track of what I am.
I am experiencing an existential crisis and struggling to define who I am.

You thought you had it all, but now all that has changed.
You believed that you were content and had everything you required but circumstances have altered that belief.

Never again put up with a world that is so deranged.
You have resolved to never subject yourself to a world so crazy or illogical again.

Leaving behind all that you had known before.
You are leaving behind all that you were familiar with before and setting out on a new path.

Still confused, but you can feel that there is so much more.
Although you are still bewildered, you are aware that there is a wealth of possibilities that await you.

I had felt so lost before, My boat had somewhere run ashore. I cried out into the night, There was nothing that felt right.
I had been trying to find my way in the dark, but things seemed to be getting more confusing by the minute. I had lost my sense of direction and purpose, and I shouted and cried in despair because nothing seemed to be going right for me.

I had given myself in, And self-pity was my kin. Now I leave all that behind, To re-emerge and live the dream.
I had given up on myself, fallen into self-pity, and allowed it to become a part of me. But now, I am leaving all that behind to follow my dreams and to become a better version of myself.
