Dream Within a Dream
Eternal Flames of Silent Desires: Unveiling the Emotion in 'Dream Within a Dream'
Lyrics
Before the days break
Anticipating the beginning of the day
I found my dreamy place
Discovering a place that embodies one's dreams
My special one
Referring to a special person or a significant other
My wish cannot be
Expressing a wish that cannot be fulfilled
Things can never change
Stating that certain things will never change
Fierce winds have passed
Referencing challenging experiences that have passed
I now know the promise I cannot keep
Acknowledging a promise that cannot be kept
The fire like a dream of adoration
Describing a passionate and dream-like admiration
Quietly the tears fall
Quietly shedding tears, possibly due to emotional pain
Tears of freedom
Tears symbolizing a sense of liberation or release
My weak smile
Portraying a fragile smile, possibly concealing true feelings
Hope you cant see my teras
Expressing a desire for the other person not to notice one's tears
Within the winds of a stormy night
Amidst a stormy night, suggesting turbulent emotions
My heart is burnt ... forever silenced
Expressing a heartache that lasts eternally and is now muted
My wish cannot be
Reiterating a wish that remains unfulfilled
Shining encounter
Describing a shining encounter or significant meeting
My hurt now understood
Acknowledging understanding of personal pain
My strength is frozen
Feeling emotionally paralyzed or unable to move forward
Be my pride ... be my dream
Asking for the other person to be a source of pride and a dream
My arms are burning in the embrace
Experiencing intense emotions, possibly in an embrace
My tears are all I have
Having tears as the only emotional outlet
Things can never change
Repeating the sentiment that certain things will never change
Fierce winds have passed
Referencing past challenges or hardships
I now know the promise I cant keep
Recognizing a promise that cannot be fulfilled
The fire like a dream of adoration
Describing a passionate and dream-like admiration, echoing line 10
Quietly tears fall
Quietly shedding tears again, reinforcing emotional struggles
Tears of freedom
Tears symbolizing a sense of freedom, echoing line 12
