Lyrics
I dreamt I flew away with you tonight,
The speaker had a dream of flying away with someone.
Across the universe at light speed.
They traveled across the universe at the speed of light in the dream.
Alright.
An affirmative expression, possibly indicating the dream scenario is positive.
And just as soon as we arrived I woke to something wrong:
Upon waking, the speaker sensed something was wrong.
The crystal glimmer of your eyes had vanished, you were gone!
In the dream, the person's captivating eyes disappeared, and they were no longer present.
I thought you'd take me to higher places.
Expectation that the person would lead the speaker to uplifting experiences.
I thought you'd take me to the clouds.
Anticipation of being taken to a euphoric state, symbolized by "the clouds."
As soon as we got there was as soon
Immediately upon arrival, the speaker realizes a problem.
As I had realized heaven had just abandoned us.
The realization that heaven or bliss has abandoned them.
I dreamt of life without mistakes tonight.
A dream about a life without mistakes, possibly hinting at perfection.
I woke to fined us out at our wake tonight.
Upon waking, the speaker discovers a grim reality during a funeral ("our wake").
The pages of our diary were stained with blood and tears.
Diary pages are stained with blood and tears, signifying pain and emotional turmoil.
The passages that we had wrote were haunted writings of two ghosts.
The writings in the diary represent haunted memories of two individuals who are no longer alive.
I thought you'd take me to higher places.
Repetition of the expectation to be taken to higher, happier places.
I thought you'd take me to the clouds.
Reiteration of the anticipation of being taken to a blissful state symbolized by "the clouds."
As soon as we got there was as soon
Similar to line 10, realization of the abandonment of heavenly joy.
As I had realized heaven had just abandoned us.
Continuation of the realization that the anticipated happiness is no longer present.
I thought you'd take me to higher places.
Restating the hope to be taken to elevated, positive experiences.
I thought you'd take me to the clouds.
Reiterating the desire to be taken to a joyful state symbolized by "the clouds."
As soon as we got there was as soon
Similar to lines 10 and 20, recognizing the absence of the expected heavenly joy.
As I had realized heaven had just abandoned us.
Continuation of the realization that the anticipated happiness has been forsaken.
