Haunted Dreams of Longing
Lyrics
(Initiating flight sequence)
Expressing the beginning of a mental escape or departure.
(Preparing for blastoff)
Getting ready for an emotional departure or disconnection.
Every night I lay down I see you in my dreams
Reflecting on consistently dreaming about a specific person upon laying down.
The same one every night like it's some kind of routine
Reiterating the recurring nature of this particular dream, almost like a regular occurrence.
We were back to days when we were happy things were great
Nostalgically reminiscing about a time when things were joyous and positive with that person.
But then I see you leaving and I relive that pain again, oh
Experiencing the pain of seeing the person leave in the dream repeatedly, causing emotional distress.
I can only hold on for so long but don't wanna move on
Struggling to let go but feeling reluctant to move forward.
I find myself looking at pictures of us every night reminding me that you're gone
Continuously revisiting memories through pictures, emphasizing the absence of the person.
And I know I'm not good enough
Feeling inadequate or unworthy in the context of the relationship.
I know I'll never be enough
Reiterating the feeling of not meeting the expectations or needs of the other person.
I don't wanna move on but I need to move on
Expressing the internal conflict between holding on and the necessity to move forward.
I think I might be stuck
Suspecting being emotionally stuck or unable to progress.
Taking antidepressants to deal with the pain, unbelievably stressed
Depicting the extreme emotional distress, resorting to medication to cope.
I'm ashamed of my past I learned my lesson
Regretful about past actions, learning from mistakes and experiences.
I'm just trying to get some rest
Seeking relaxation or relief despite the emotional turmoil.
But I can't sleep
Struggling with insomnia, possibly due to emotional distress and recurring thoughts.
You haunt my dreams
Feeling haunted by the person in dreams, indicating a persistent emotional impact.
Me hurting you and you hurting me
Recalling a cycle of mutual hurt and pain within the relationship.
You're running away but I can't scream
Feeling voiceless or unable to express feelings while the person leaves.
Running away but I can't scream
Expressing the inability to prevent the person from leaving despite the desire to do so.

-And I never wanna see you again
Conflicting emotions about never wanting to see the person again but also desiring their presence.
And you never wanna see me again
-Well I kinda wanna see you again
-Wish I could see you outside of my dreams
Expressing the longing to meet the person in reality, not just within dreams.
See you outside of my dreams
-Every night I lay down I see you in my dreams
Repetition of the dream scenario, emphasizing the persistent nature of these thoughts.
The same one every night like it's some kind of routine
-We were back to days when we were happy things were great
-But then I see you leaving and I relive that pain again, oh
-I can only hold on for so long but don't wanna move on
