Don't Tell Me What to Dream
Awakening the Unspoken: A Journey Beyond Conformity
Lyrics
Don't, don't tell
Rejection of being told
Don't tell me what to dream
Refusal to be dictated dreams
Why can't you feel this? all the misery and the pain
Awareness of pain and suffering
The self-neglect, the values...have driven me insane
Personal deterioration due to societal values
Its time to remember, the reason that you were named
Call to recall personal identity and purpose
The gallant acts from which, from which we all came
Recognition of shared noble origins
Don't tell me what to dream. don't tell me
Reiteration of refusal to be controlled
I'd rather go it alone than stand next to you
Prefer solitude over undesirable company
Don't tell me. don't tell me what to dream
Resisting influence on dreams and aspirations
Don't. don't tell
Repeated rejection of influence
Don't tell me what to dream
Continued refusal to be dictated dreams
For what I survived, no stomach
Lack of appetite for certain experiences
For the lies you say and do...you say and do
Recognition of deceitful actions and words
Make no mistake I see what is here
Acknowledgment of perceiving reality
The emptiness of your words comes alive
Noting the hollowness of spoken words
The facts are evident, your actions are clear
Observation of clear actions and their impact
Don't tell me what to dream. don't tell me
Repeated refusal of control over dreams
I'd rather go it alone than stand next to you
Preference for independence over unwanted association
Don't tell me. don't tell me what to dream
Reiteration of resistance against imposed dreams
