Lyrics
Bad dream I never woke up from
Describing a persistent unsettling dream that hasn't ended.
Dream i hope that'll be gone
Expressing a desire for a troublesome dream to fade away.
I dream that someday it'll be over
Hoping for a future where the difficulties will come to an end.
I feel out of place out of touch
Feeling out of sync and disconnected from surroundings.
I feel repressed, depressed and such
Experiencing feelings of repression and depression.
But I feel that someday it'll be over
Believing that, eventually, the challenging situation will improve.
People say don't worry
Receiving advice from others not to worry, emphasizing blessings.
You're better of, you're blessed
Assuring the listener that they are in a better position and blessed.
Give it time this too shall pass
Encouraging patience, stating that time will heal and pass the difficulties.
People say don't worry
Repeating advice not to worry but acknowledging it as a cliché.
It cant be more cliché
Highlighting the commonality and overuse of the advice.
Easy to say, that everything's fine
Describing the ease with which people say everything is fine.
Truth be told, by passing time
Admitting that the passing of time reveals the truth—things are not fine.
Nothing is close to alright

You know my heart stops

My heart stops
Recalling the intense emotional reaction when thinking about it.
When I think about it
Repeating the emotional impact of contemplating the challenges.
Don't you love
Pondering the irony of giving everything in love and still falling short.
When you give it all, but thats not enough
Expressing frustration when giving one's all is not sufficient.
The blood, sweat, tears I've put
Highlighting the efforts made—blood, sweat, tears—that seem to mean nothing.
forget, mean nothing
Stressing the insignificance of the invested efforts.
Was playing by the rules,
Admitting to playing by the rules but still ending up at the bottom.
Still finished last
Expressing a sense of failure despite following the expected path.
Think I wasn't showing too much
Suggesting that perhaps not showing too much contributed to the outcome.
People say don't worry
Receiving repeated advice not to worry, reinforcing the idea of being blessed.
