The Dream Has Faded
Chasing Shadows: The Elusive Dream of Love in 'The Dream Has Faded'
Lyrics
Do you want me tonight?
Asking if the listener desires the speaker tonight.
Do you want me to come find you?
Inquiring whether the listener wants the speaker to search for them.
We could go for a drive
Suggesting the idea of going for a drive.
Leave the heat of this dead summer
Expressing a desire to escape the oppressive heat of the summer.
I just realized that, no one is watching us
Realizing that there is no one observing them.
We could be gone before anybody notices
Suggesting the possibility of leaving unnoticed by others.
We could live like bank robbers
Imagining a life resembling that of bank robbers, filled with excitement and unpredictability.
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
(Repeating musical phrase)
The dream has faded you're not the one
Acknowledging that a dream has faded, and the person addressed is not the chosen one.
You're callin' out for the dream has faded
Reiterating the idea that the dream has faded and the person is not the chosen one.
You're no the one you're callin out for
Emphasizing that the person is not the lucky one and is calling out for the dream that has faded.
You're not the lucky one
Stating that the person addressed is not the fortunate one.
You put your hand out the window
Describing a gesture of gratitude, putting the hand out of the car window, and expressing thanks for the vehicle.
Say 'Thank God for this car'
Expressing gratitude for the car and the moment of being in it.
All I want to see is that long
Expressing a desire to see a long black road vanish into the darkness.
Black road disappear in the dark
Conveying a desire for the road to disappear into the night.
Don't you think is kinda looks like
Pondering the resemblance of the surroundings to driving into nothingness.
Like we're driving straight into nothing
Comparing the drive to heading straight into nothing.
Like we're trying to catch
Portraying an image of trying to catch something in the headlights.
It in our headlights
Continuing the metaphor of pursuing something in the headlights.
But the night just keeps on runnin'
Noting that the night continues without stopping.
The dream is fading you're no the one
Repeating the acknowledgment that the dream is fading, and the person is not the chosen one.
You're callin' out for the dream is fading
Reiterating the fading dream and the person calling out for it, emphasizing that they are not the chosen one.
You're not the one you're calling out for
Emphasizing once again that the person is not the lucky one and is calling out for the fading dream.
You're not the lucky one
Stating conclusively that the person addressed is not the fortunate one.
