End Of The Dream Lyrics

I found a grave
Brushed off the face
Felt your light
And I remember why I know this place

I found a bird
Closing her eyes
One last time
And I wonder if she dreamed like me

Well, as much as it hurts
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?

So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
'Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

I’m not afraid
I push through the pain
And I’m on fire
I remember how to breathe again

As much as it hurts,
Ain’t it wonderful to feel?

So go on and bring your wings
Follow your heart
'Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

Why must we fall apart
To understand how to fly?
I will find a way
Even without wings

Follow your heart
'Till it bleeds
As we run towards the end of the dream

Follow your heart
'Till it bleeds
And we’ve gone to the end of the dream

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The lyrics kind of remind me of the "Sucker Punch" film.

"In general, it is about life and the afterlife, and the fact that basically it's short. It's my understanding of death, and my relationship with it, and life. It's my respect and appreciation for the fact that life is not going to last forever so you have to live now, you have to follow your heart, even when it hurts. That pain is something that you can't take for granted." - Amy Lee explained it to Loudwire

"As much as it hurts, ain't it wonderful to feel..." I love that line so much.

I wonder what it means for me that this and "Marry The Night" both have the highest playcounts on my list. They have much of the same meaning. Go after your dreams even if you might fail and that failure hurts so much but hey it's better than an empty life with no feeling at all right?
