Dream Song
Nocturnal Reverie: Unveiling the Turmoil Within
Lyrics
He's been waking all through the night
Experiencing repeated awakenings during the night.
Pacing around in the moonlight
Restlessly moving around under the moonlight.
Because these same dreams won't let him be
Haunted by persistent dreams that won't leave him in peace.
The cameras photographs everything
Cameras capturing and revealing hidden aspects of his life.
That he's been burying down beneath
Burying emotions or experiences that are now being exposed.
And show him what he don't wanna see
Confronting unwanted truths depicted in the photographs.
He counts the hours creeping by
Feeling time pass slowly as he struggles with his thoughts.
His thoughts racing, eyes stuck open wide
Anxiety and racing thoughts preventing him from sleep.
Tossing and turning through the night, oh the night
Restless and uneasy movements throughout the night.
He has this one where he's being pursued
A recurring dream where he's pursued by women from his past.
By every woman he ever knew
Haunted by relationships that continue to affect him.
But at first grasp he wakes and gasps
Interrupted by waking up suddenly in the midst of the dream.
He watches her laying there sound asleep
Observing someone else peacefully asleep beside him.
Wonders who's chasing her through her dreams
Wondering about the dreams of the person lying next to him.
And when they do if it scares her too
Concerned if their dreams might be frightening to them.
He counts the hours creeping by
Still grappling with the passing of time and racing thoughts.
His thoughts racing, eyes open wide
Continued struggle with racing thoughts and insomnia.
Tossing and turning through the night, oh the night
Restless movements persisting through the night.
And oh how he needs to get some sleep
Expressing a desperate need for much-needed rest.
But who waits down there so deep
Uncertainty about what awaits him in the depths of his dreams.
Leaves him shaking him at the knees, it seems
Fear or anxiety that is physically affecting him.
He counts the hours creeping by
Continued struggle with the passage of time and racing thoughts.
His thoughts racing, eyes open wide
The persistence of racing thoughts and wide-open eyes.
Tossing and turning through the night, the night
Restlessness and tossing and turning persisting through the night.
And oh how he needs to get some sleep
Reiterating the desperate need for much-needed sleep.
But who waits down there so deep
Uncertainty about what awaits him in the depths of his dreams.
Leaves him shaking him at the knees, it seems
Emotional impact of unknown factors shaking him to his core.
