Dear Dreamer
Unveiling Hidden Paths: Decoding 'Dear Dreamer' by The Craigs
Lyrics
You think there's secrets that can't be said
You believe there are hidden truths that shouldn't be disclosed
You think there's things that just can't be fixed
You believe some things are beyond repair
You think you're working towards your prime
You think you're progressing towards your peak or prime
You think there's nothing worth your time
You believe there's nothing valuable to invest your time in
Are you making up other worlds instead
Are you creating imaginary worlds as an escape?
Are you living life better in your head
Are you imagining a better life in your thoughts?
Hey, I'm running too
The singer is also facing challenges and running from something
Don't get all upset
Don't be overly distressed
I just think it's best if you get off that bed
Suggesting it's better for you to get out of a negative situation
You think there's nothing left to lose
You feel there's nothing left to lose
You think the world wants to hurt you too
You believe the world is hostile towards you
You think of words that they called you
You remember hurtful words others have called you
You think it's true and that you can't choose
You believe these words define you and limit your choices
Are you making up other worlds instead
Similar to line 6, questioning if you're escaping to alternate realities
Are you living life better in your head
Similar to line 7, questioning if you're idealizing a better life in your thoughts
Hey, I'm running too
The singer is also running away from something
Don't get all upset
Advising not to be overly distressed
I just think it's best if you get off that bed
Suggesting it's better for you to get out of a negative situation
Maybe if we try
Encouraging collaboration and effort to improve
Then we can make a better way
If we try, we can create a better path
And it's okay to feel at odds
It's acceptable to feel conflicted with the world and its challenges
With all the world
Acknowledging the difficulties and risks in life
and what's at stake
Emphasizing that challenges are temporary and not permanent
Just remember now
Reminding that change is a constant, like the weather
It's not forever in any way
Life's challenges are transient, not everlasting
It's just a phase
Difficulties are just a temporary phase
A passing wind
Comparing life's challenges to a passing wind
In this changing weather
Highlighting the impermanence of challenges in the ever-changing weather of life
