Lyrics
There is a dream I used to have
There is a recurring dream from the past.
My dream swallowed me whole
The dream consumed and overwhelmed the dreamer.
There is a bridge where I hate to go
There's a place the speaker avoids due to negative emotions.
That is where I first saw her
This location is where the speaker first encountered someone important.
High on the bridge I seen her red hair shining
On the bridge, the speaker saw a woman with distinctive red hair.
There is a girl I never knew
The speaker never had a connection with this mysterious girl.
She was my Aunt Virginia
The girl is revealed to be the speaker's Aunt Virginia.
They said that she, she just disappeared
Aunt Virginia vanished mysteriously, leaving questions behind.
They said I look just like her
People note a physical resemblance between the speaker and Aunt Virginia.
High on the bridge I seen her dancing, waving to me there
On the bridge, the speaker saw Aunt Virginia dancing and acknowledging them.
She smiled and raised her head
Aunt Virginia smiled and looked upward.
Then she took to the air
Aunt Virginia seemingly ascended into the air.
There is a dream I can't escape
There's an inescapable dream haunting the speaker.
My memories come back to me
Past memories continue to resurface for the speaker.
There is a hell I can't escape
There's a troubling aspect of the past that the speaker can't avoid.
My memories come back to me
Unpleasant memories persistently return to the speaker.
I heard the truth about it
The speaker has learned the harsh truth about the past.
Pictures and headlines hidden away
Information, perhaps disturbing, is concealed in pictures and headlines.
I heard the truth about my real mom
The speaker discovers the truth about their biological mother.
Jumping from the bridge that day
There's a revelation about the mother jumping from the bridge.
Now I know why ever since I was 3 years old
Since childhood, the speaker has been haunted by a recurring nightmare.
Been having the same nightmare
The speaker now understands the reality of Aunt Virginia's actions.
Now I know the truth about Virginia
The truth about Aunt Virginia's fate is known.
Why she took to the air
The reason for Aunt Virginia "taking to the air" is revealed.
