Awake
Awake in a Dreamless Mind: The Other Lovers' Reflection on Nighttime Realities
Lyrics
Where does your mind tend to go when you fall asleep?
Reflecting on the thoughts during the process of falling asleep.
Does a world behind your eyes keep you awake while you sleep?
Wondering if an internal world keeps the person awake while they are physically asleep.
Everybody that I know dreams about the good things
Observation that people typically dream about positive experiences.
But when I go to sleep, my mind has nothing for me to see
The singer experiences a lack of meaningful content in their own dreams.
Dreams, they are overrated
Expressing a belief that dreams are not as valuable as commonly thought.
Just night time hallucinations
Viewing dreams as mere hallucinations occurring during nighttime.
Fake things that your mind created
Describing dreams as artificial creations of the mind.
I'm better off I think
Suggesting a preference for not having dreams, feeling better without them.
Dreams they are overrated
Reiterating the belief that dreams are overrated and not beneficial.
Just night time hallucinations
Repetition of the idea that nighttime hallucinations are not significant.
Fake things that your mind created
Reaffirming the artificial nature of things imagined during sleep.
I'm better off I think
Reiteration of feeling better without dreams.
Yeah, I'm better off I think
Emphasizing the improved state of being without dreams.
I've never had a dream, not once, I don't know what I'm missin'
Personal revelation of never having experienced a dream and not feeling a sense of loss.
But I'm well versed on how they go, so I am never wishin'
Despite not having dreams, the singer understands their typical nature.
Although maybe once when I was young, I wished I was a dreamer
Recalling a time when the singer wished they were a dreamer, possibly in childhood.
But without them my heads on tight and I feel a whole lot clearer
Expressing contentment with a clear mind in the absence of dreams.
Dreams, they are overrated
Repeating the idea that dreams are overrated.
Just night time hallucinations
Reiteration of nighttime hallucinations being less significant than perceived.
Fake things that your mind created
Reaffirming the artificial nature of things created by the mind during sleep.
I'm better off I think
Restating the belief that the singer is better off without dreams.
Dreams they are overrated
Repetition of the idea that dreams are overrated.
Just night time hallucinations
Reiterating the perception of nighttime hallucinations as less valuable.
Fake things that your mind created
Reaffirming the artificial nature of mental creations during sleep.
I'm better off I think
Restating the belief in the singer's improved state without dreams.
Yeah, I'm better off I think
Emphasizing the singer's contentment without dreams.
Dreams, they are overrated
Repeating the idea that dreams are overrated.

Asserting a strong conviction of being way better off without dreams.
Oh way better off I think
Reiterating a very strong belief in the positive state of being without dreams.
