In this emotionally resonant anthem, the lyrics delve into a state of introspection and escapism where the protagonist grapples with a sense of disconnection from reality, driven by an intense romantic longing. The recurring dream motif signifies an idealized vision of a relationship that is deeply coveted yet unattainable within the constraints of the songwriter's actual life. The juxtaposition of phrases like "living in a dream" and "my own reality" suggests a conscious choice to retreat into a mental space that prioritizes emotional fulfillment over confronting the harsher truths of everyday existence. This narrative conveys a poignant message about the human tendency to immerse oneself in dreams or fantasies when real life proves ungratifying, highlighting the protagonist's acceptance and even preference for this imagined world over their tangible reality.
Living in a Dream
Lyrics
I was never the kind
To be taking my time
Any place that's worth a damn
And today's another day
That I've gone and thrown away
And I don't care where it lands
'Cause I'm just thinking about us
I've been living in a dream about you
And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind
And if I never see
My own reality
Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind
I'll be gone for a time
Tuning out for a while
It's gonna look like I'm not all there
I've decided that today
Seems alright to piss away
Ignore my empty stare
'Cause I'm just thinking about us
I've been living in a dream about you
And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind
And if I never see
My own reality
Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind
When I come down
And look around
I can't believe
The fantasy is gone like a memory
Out of my reach
Fading out from me
You're fading out from me
I've been living in a dream about you
And now I know you were all I ever wanted on my mind
And if I never see
My own reality
Well, I'm okay to leave it all behind
