Navigating Shadows: Lauren Light's Haunting 'Bad Dream' Meaning
Lyrics
I'm uneasy, it's not easy thinking 'bout what could've been
I feel uneasy, contemplating what might have been
Feel's hopeless, but I'm hopin that somethings gotta give
Experiencing a sense of hopelessness but holding onto the possibility of change
Guess I gotta come to terms
Acceptance and acknowledgment of a situation
YA gotta hurt to live and learn
Recognizing the necessity of experiencing pain to gain wisdom
I want the fire but not the burn
Desiring passion but not wanting the associated pain
Part of me thinking maybe it's a bad dream
Contemplating if the current situation is like a bad dream
Someday I'll wake up and you'll be here with me
Expressing a hope to wake up and find a desired reality
I try to play it off like it's a good thing
Trying to portray a positive outlook despite the challenging circumstances
It's just a bad dream, just a bad dream
Reiterating that the current state is just a bad dream
I keep holding, while I hold in all the things I can't replace
Enduring and holding onto things that are irreplaceable
Avoid the fallout while I fall down but some things you just can not change
Avoiding negative consequences while acknowledging the inability to change certain things
Guess I gotta come to terms
Repeating the process of coming to terms with a situation
YA gotta hurt to live and learn
Highlighting the need to experience pain for personal growth
I want the fire but not the burn
Expressing a desire for passion without the accompanying suffering
Part of me thinking maybe it's a bad dream
Contemplating if the current situation is like a bad dream (repeated)
Someday I'll wake up and you'll be here with me
Expressing hope for a positive change in the future
I try to play it off like it's a good thing
Attempting to appear optimistic despite challenges
It's just a bad dream, just a bad dream
Reiterating that the current state is just a bad dream (repeated)
Don't wake me up, I think you've grown cold
Refusing to face the reality of emotional coldness
Don't wake me up, I don't wanna know
Rejecting the idea of waking up to a harsh truth
Don't wake me up, I think we've lost hope
Believing that hope has been lost
Don't wake me up, I don't wanna know
Avoiding knowledge of a potentially painful reality
Don't wake me up, You can't make me go
Resisting efforts to be awakened and compelled to leave
Don't wake me up, I don't wanna know
Rejecting awareness of a challenging truth
Part of me thinking maybe it's a bad dream
Contemplating if the current situation is like a bad dream (repeated)
Someday I'll wake up and you'll be here with me
Expressing hope for a positive change in the future (repeated)
I try to play it off like it's a good thing
Trying to portray a positive outlook despite the challenging circumstances (repeated)
It's just a bad dream, just a bad dream
Reiterating that the current state is just a bad dream (repeated)
