Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Dream awake (dream awake), said get 'em and get 'em and go aah, get 'em and get 'em and go aah
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)
Dream awake make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound
Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
Two flews over the cuckoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Wake up, stand up and jump off to this (some piece of mind from the daily grind)
(Smash lies) wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream awake (dream awake), said get 'em and get 'em and go aah, get 'em and get 'em and go aah
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)
Dream awake, find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains and ghosts
We toast and coast to the next host
Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast
The work is passed through the self-destruction
Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown?
Why you wanna die by the highway?
The front lines intertwine
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this (some piece of mind from the daily grind)
Stand up, said wake up, stand up
We'll bounce over beats and rock shows
So fast so slow never know where the day may go
Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys
We go through the fields of green in-between destinies
Or just get high, nah there's no need (said wake up, stand up and jump off to this)
No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy (said wake up, stand up and jump off to this)
Where's the bad guy, on the inside one day I might try
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this (wake up, up, jump off to this)
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream-a-dream awake, dream awake
Some peace of mind from the daily grind
Smash lies, dream awake
Stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, dream awake, jump off to this
Dream awake
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)
Dream awake make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday
You can listen stereo or monotone
Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay
Relay super surfer high stereo sound
Radio station super space nation fight the foe
This one's about to blow up
Two flews over the cuckoo's nest and won't rest
Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect
Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Wake up, stand up and jump off to this (some piece of mind from the daily grind)
(Smash lies) wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream awake (dream awake), said get 'em and get 'em and go aah, get 'em and get 'em and go aah
Oh, dream-a-dream awake (dream awake)
Dream awake, said get 'em and get 'em and go aah (dream awake)
Dream awake, find lines to move guys rely on a vision
Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains and ghosts

Said wake up, stand up and jump off to this
Dream-a-dream awake, dream awake
Some peace of mind from the daily grind
Smash lies, dream awake
Stand up and jump off to this
Said wake up, dream awake, jump off to this
Dream awake
