Lost in the Dream Lyrics
Lost in the dream
Or just the silence of a moment
It’s always hard to tell
Down in the way
They cut it open and they sold it
It’s always hard to tell
I saw a soldier man
I looked in his eyes like they were rings
Ooh but his heart, it can’t resist
You may risk it all
You’d risk it all for the memory
But it’s living under your skin
Love’s the key to the things that we see
And don't mind chasing
Leave the light on in the yard for me
When we were the same
We stroked our arms
And we wore them thin
Ah, the sadness is in
But you don’t miss it, man
You got it all like a memory
Now it’s living under your skin
Love’s the key to the games that we play
But don’t mind losing
Love’s the key to the things that you see
But you don’t mind moving
It’s a door in a dark in the way
It’s the key in the dark for the spark
Love’s a game, always the same
Oh, all the way
Or just the silence of a moment
It’s always hard to tell
Down in the way
They cut it open and they sold it
It’s always hard to tell
I looked in his eyes like they were rings
Ooh but his heart, it can’t resist
You may risk it all
You’d risk it all for the memory
But it’s living under your skin
Love’s the key to the things that we see
And don't mind chasing
Leave the light on in the yard for me
We stroked our arms
And we wore them thin
Ah, the sadness is in
But you don’t miss it, man
You got it all like a memory
Now it’s living under your skin
Love’s the key to the games that we play
But don’t mind losing
Love’s the key to the things that you see
But you don’t mind moving
It’s a door in a dark in the way
It’s the key in the dark for the spark
Love’s a game, always the same
Oh, all the way

The song is about how we are sustained by love and we're willing to risk everything just for the memory of it.
"I saw a soldier man, I looked in his eyes like they were rings, but his heart it can't resist." Rings are hollow, and if you look into the eyes of a solider (someone who has the heartless task of killing) you may see nothing that indicates he/she is capable of love, however their heart cannot resist the need for it.
"Love is the key to the games that we play, but don't mind losing." Love is the key to existence. It's what brought us into the world and its promise is what keeps us going, even if we've lost it momentarily.
