Lyrics

If you came then you came with the cold outside

If you came, you brought a cold atmosphere with you.

Couldn’t see you in the dark, couldn’t see you in my mind

In the darkness, I couldn't perceive your presence, both physically and mentally.

If you came then you came with the cold outside

Reiteration that your arrival is associated with a cold external environment.


If I ran then I ran with the fire of fear

When I fled, it was driven by the intense fear, and the apparent flames were deceptive lies.

And the flames that you saw were lies made real

The flames observed were falsehoods materializing into reality.

If you came then you came with the cold outside

Repeated emphasis on the link between your arrival and the cold external conditions.


Calling off the dream war cause I

Decision to cease the conflict related to dreams due to an inability to prevent inevitable challenges.

Can’t keep the waves from breaking on this shore

Expressing the difficulty of preventing challenges (waves) from affecting one's life.

Calling off the dream war cause I

Continuation of the decision to end the internal conflict over dreams.

Already lost the dreams I was fighting for

Admitting the loss of dreams that were once passionately pursued.


If we dream then we dream of the dark inside

In dreams, darkness is the prevalent theme, and the narrator's heart and mind lack positivity.

My heart is not a song, my head is not a light

The narrator's heart is not filled with music, and their mind lacks illumination.

If we dream then we dream of the dark inside

Reiteration of dreaming about the internal darkness rather than positive elements.


If we wake and we wake in the middle of the night

Upon waking in the night, there is a sense of urgency and contrasting sensations.

Hearts racing, beds blazing, fingers cold as ice

Intense emotions, passion, and physical coldness coexist during night awakenings.

If we dream then we dream of the dark inside

Dreams continue to focus on internal darkness, even in sleep.


Calling off the dream war cause I

Reiteration of the decision to end the internal conflict over dreams.

Can’t keep the waves from breaking on this shore

Acknowledging the inability to control and prevent challenges, represented as metaphorical waves.

Calling off the dream war cause I

Continuation of the decision to terminate the inner struggle regarding dreams.

Already lost the dreams I was fighting for

Acknowledging the loss of dreams that were fervently fought for in the past.


Tryna shake (tryna shake, tryna shake)

Attempting to dispel negative thoughts or experiences.

Tryna shake the bad, bad, bad, bad

Effort to overcome and eliminate persistently haunting negative aspects.

Tryna shake (tryna shake, tryna shake)

Continuation of the attempt to shake off recurring negative dreams.

Tryna shake the bad, bad dreams

Struggling to escape the grip of disturbing and recurring nightmares.


If I’m scared then I’m scared of what I’ve yet to find

Admitting fear of the unknown, yet to be discovered.

Like feelings of a killing and loving intertwined

Describing emotions as a mix of love and killing, highlighting a complex and intertwined experience.

If I’m scared then I’m scared of what I might design

Continuing to express fear of what might be created or designed in the future.


If we fight (and we fight) then we’re fighting blind

In conflicts, participants are fighting without a clear understanding of the opponent.

You can’t combat an idea that has yet to be defined

Challenging the notion that one can fight against an idea that has not been clearly defined.

If I’m scared then I’m scared of what I might design

Reiterating the fear of potential creations or designs in the future.


Calling off the dream war cause I

Deciding to end the inner conflict related to dreams due to the inevitability of life's challenges.

Can’t keep the waves from breaking on this shore

Expressing the difficulty of preventing challenges (waves) from affecting one's life.

Calling off the dream war cause I

Continuation of the decision to terminate the inner struggle regarding dreams.

Already lost the dreams I was fighting for

Acceptance of the loss of dreams that were passionately pursued in the past.
