Awakening Dreams: Stefan Dismond's Journey to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Stayed in- (Why're rooms)
Stayed in rooms, questioning why
Side just (Cages)
On the side, feeling confined like in cages
Waiting (Days gone)
Waiting for days gone by
Asking for (Wasted)
Asking for something wasted
Time to (I'm weighed down)
Feeling weighed down, seeking time
Come and (Lately)
Inviting change, especially lately
Change me (Bad moods)
Request to be transformed from bad moods
I could be (Late nights)
Expressing the potential to be anyone, especially in late nights
Anyone (Can I run)
Repetition of the desire to be anyone, with specific references
Anyone (Far enough)
-Anyone (Sun in tow)
-I, I, I'll (Coming up)
Reaffirming a commitment or statement
Hold nothing (Can I hope)
Commitment to holding nothing back
Back when (For a time)
Reflecting on the past, back when
I find my (When my dreams)
Discovering one's way home
Way home (Come alive)
Highlighting the importance of dreams coming alive
I fell asleep in they city headed to LAX
Reflecting on a journey from the city to LAX, contemplating success, and the intertwined nature of paths
Fantasizing that I was riding in a private jet
-Pray that's prophecy, pray someday that I see success
-While these eyes are open instead of dreaming in coach
-I left calmer streets for the 405 and that dimmer heaven
-Evergreens for these palms that reach up in long procession
-Part of me still the foggy beat of my adolescence
-Guess history and what's yet to be always split the present
-Never could forget it, runs deep as DNA
-Our paths our intertwined like curling vines of ivy
Emphasizing the connection between individuals
Say, I been back and forth between these places where my people stay
Traveling back and forth, understanding home as a feeling, not just a physical space
And learned that home is more a feeling and less a stagnant furnished space
-I learned that loving life is not the same as livin' it
Realizations about life, taking things for granted, excitement for the future
Took it all for granted, paid the price in nights that I can't relive
-And I used to panic about these things I never was
-But as I'm growing up, I get excited for what's yet to come so
-Lately I can't wait to wake up
Expressing eagerness for a new day, contemplating change and the feeling of being pulled in different directions
Treat today like it's my first love
-Been praying when it's all said and done
-I go back and have a second run
-Swear everything thing changing
-Just as soon as I lay roots or leave trace
-It feels like I'm being pulled past present
-Living running far away
-And something is waiting out there for me
Speculating on a destiny and what awaits in the future
Is it my destiny
-Something is waiting out there for me
-Is it my destiny
-I get so lost in my thoughts, I'm distracted
Feeling lost in thoughts, questioning wishes and aspirations
Blowing out these candles but these wishes haven't happened
-am I all talk, NPR just podcasting
-I just want it all, that ain't that much to ask, yeah
-Growing up is a labor
Reflections on growing up, the honor of being loved, nostalgia, and ambitious dreams
Being loved is an honor
-Used to look toward the future
-Now I look like my father
-Say nostalgia's like resting
-Along that path that you've trodden
-Too long catching your breath
-And you gon miss what's still coming
-So in the grip of ambition
-With butterflies in my stomach
-I see horizon in distance
-And know that it is a promise
-Just as flowers have seeds
Metaphorical representation of personal growth and the persistence of dreams
That teem, unseen from the surface
-I am more than I seem
-My dreams don't end in the morning
