Lyrics
What are we all living for?
Questioning the purpose of life
If nothing's worth dying for tonight
Suggesting that life lacks value if there's nothing worth sacrificing for
Your dreams are not enough
Expressing that personal aspirations alone are insufficient
What I need is love
Stating the need for love
That's worth laying down my life
Emphasizing the importance of love worth sacrificing for
Sing along,
Encouraging participation in a shared experience
Just like they taught us
Referring to a learned behavior, possibly conformity
It's soothing your mind this lullaby
Describing a lullaby as a comforting mental escape
No heaven above us
Rejecting the concept of an afterlife
Just mile after mile of empty sky
Portraying vast emptiness and solitude
No right or wrong
Contemplating a world without clear moral distinctions
Can you imagine?
Challenging the listener to envision such a world
A world where there's no more need to cry
Imagining a world without the need for sorrow
But no joy or passion
Highlighting the absence of joy or intense emotions
Its seems that the price is much to high
Suggesting that the cost of such a world is too high
But I am holding out for something realâ#128#¦
Expressing hope for something genuine amidst uncertainties
And though you offered peace
Acknowledging an offer of peace
What I really need comes in so much more
Desiring something more substantial than peace
Your dreams are not enough
Reiterating that personal dreams are insufficient
What I need is love that's worth dying for
Affirming the need for love worth sacrificing for
You say that you're a dreamer
Acknowledging shared aspirations with another
Well I'm a dreamer too
Confirming personal dreamer status
But I wont sing your lullaby
Rejecting the idea of singing a comforting lullaby
However well intentioned
Questioning the authenticity and goodness of the intention
Its neither good nor true
Denying the positive and truthful nature of the dream
The pallid dream is just a lie
Considering the dream as a deceptive illusion
But I am holding out for something realâ#128#¦
Reaffirming the desire for something genuine
And though you offered peace
Acknowledging an offered peace once again
What I really need comes in so much more
Reiterating the need for something more than peace
Your dreams are not enough
Stating that personal dreams are inadequate
What I need is love that's worth dying for
Emphasizing the need for love worth sacrificing for
What are we all living for
Repeating the initial question about the purpose of life
If nothing's worth dying for tonight?
Highlighting the idea that life lacks significance without meaningful sacrifices
