| Free Energy – Dream City Lyrics

In my opinion, this song is about a bunch of friends who go out partying a lot and on the surface they appear to be having fun. But deep down, there's something missing and they're "tired of feeling bad" and "it never feels right". But when they go away from the city, both physically and mentally, then they tap into their inner selves with the "dream lights" on. They realize that existing is very different from truly living. Their "hearts are beating lighter" with a carefree feeling because they now "love without desire." To me, this song is about going beyond the superficial world and truly loving with all your heart (not necessarily romantically and without expecting anything in return) and searching for the truth to the meaning of life. And at the end of the song, it's pointed out that if you continue to exist superficially with all the external pleasures of the world, then you will never find out who you really are and you will just find yourself old one day with no real identity. |

Wow what a story. I'm sorry you had to go through that bro. I had an experience similar to yours about four years ago. Of course it probably wasn't as deep as yours, but I can definitely relate to you. I had put this person on a pedestal. I even told him that he was the sun of my universe and that my world revolved around him. I literally jumped for joy every time he messaged me. He was literally too good to be true. He had every quality that I always wanted in a boyfriend. He understood me, had the same humor as me, had the same taste in music and movies, and had the same hobbies as me. We were the same age, ethnicity, and religion; and he only lived an hour away. It almost seemed like a miracle to me that we found each other at all. But he lead me on and, to no true fault of his, he hurt me deeply. After about three months of talking pretty much everyday, he stopped talking to me. All of a sudden I was doing my best to grasp at something that wasn't there anymore. I went crazy without him and got into a bad depression. After a while I gathered up the courage and confessed my feelings for him and told him that I missed talking to him. He replied with, "If you like me then just talk to me." Which didn't make sense because I was the one doing the attempted talking and he was the one doing the blatant ignoring. I then asked him if he even liked talking to me and he replied with something like, "If u want to talk to me then just do it already." He even suggested deleting me if it would help me move on. At that moment I realized that the feelings weren't mutual. And if I ever once meant something to him, it obviously wasn't enough for him to keep me in his life. This was enough closure for me and it certainly did indeed help me move on. It took me 2 & 1/2 years to fully get over him because in my head, he was the perfect guy. But you know, I realized something. I didn't really know this guy. I wasn't in love with him as much as I was in love with the idea of being in a relationship with him. We weren't on the same level and we didn't see eye to eye because I placed him in a place that was impossible to reach. Anyway, what I'm trying to tell you is that we tend to paint this perfect picture of someone or something in our head when in reality it's not so; and if we take a deep breath, take a step back, and look at things in a third-person perspective, then we could see that. I believe that we all have soul mates. So I will pray for you that you will find yours and that along the way you will have genuine happiness in your relationships :) |
