Must Be a Dream
Dreams Unveiled: The Altogether's Journey Beyond Illusions
Lyrics
Not till today
Reflecting on experiences leading up to today
When I walked out my door
Leaving home or comfort zone
Could I have sworn I’d seen leaves
Perceived familiarity with the surroundings
On these trees before
Questioning the authenticity of memories
The photos I took
Capturing moments through photos
Well I could be sure
Uncertainty about how others perceive the photos
You’d see them wrong
Awareness of potential misinterpretation
I guess that’s what this song is for
Creating a song to clarify intentions or feelings
‘Cause they’ll all float away
Acknowledging transient nature of experiences
And cause you to say
Eliciting a response or reflection from someone
Must be a dream
Expressing a sense of disbelief or surrealism
Your name in my book
Your significance in the narrator's life
Spelled the usual way
Normalcy in spelling your name
But I press less hard ‘cause now I’ve pardoned
Forgiving past mistakes
All of your mistakes
Acceptance and moving forward
And it’s only right
Moral or just actions
At the end of the day
Closure at the end of the day
That you discard your shards of broken hearts
Letting go of emotional pain and sharing
And reciprocate
Expecting mutual feelings
It’s a game we all play
Acknowledging life as a shared experience
And all I can say
Emphasizing the dreamlike nature of the situation
Is it must be a dream
Reiterating the surreal quality of the experience
It must be strange to see me living my best life out here
Noticing the observer's perspective on the narrator's life
But I came through this town to steal the crown from strife and fear
Seeking positive change and overcoming challenges
And if you thought I wouldn’t polish till it’s clean
Commitment to improvement and personal growth
You must’ve heard me wrong
Clarifying misunderstandings or doubts
Or it must’ve been a dream
Reflection on the possibility of unreal experiences
And not till today
Recalling another significant moment
When I walked out my door
Repeating the act of leaving or exploring
Would I have thought the eyes I’ve got
Awareness of one's perception or insight
Could see what lies in store
Acknowledging uncertainty about the future
The photos I took
Expressing disappointment or failure
End up on the floor
Rejecting conventional or expected outcomes
‘Cause black and white was never quite
Straying from traditional or expected choices
What I was shooting for
Challenging artistic or personal norms
They all come out grey
Acceptance of ambiguity or imperfection
And all I can say
Reiterating the dreamlike quality of the experience
Is it must be a dream
Emphasizing the surreal nature of the situation
It must be strange to see me living my best life out here
Repeating the observer's perspective on the narrator's life
But I came through this town to steal the crown from strife and fear
Continued pursuit of positive change and growth
And if you thought I wouldn’t polish till it’s clean
Reiteration of commitment to improvement
You must’ve heard me wrong
Clarifying previous statements or intentions
Or it must’ve been a dream
Reflection on the possibility of unreal experiences
