I can't believe this song has not gotten much recognition. It's one of the most enlightened songs released today. It seems like "Dreaming" is about a lot of society's main faults fused into one song.
"You, you went beyond and you lost it all. Why did you go there? From beyond, you saw it all. Why did you go there?"
To me, it almost sounds like Serj and Daron are singing in despair to a dead soldier, asking him why he went to fight in a war when he saw from a distance what happens in wars, and who, in the end, benefits. It's almost like they are crying these lines to dead soldiers everywhere. Not just for the US, but for every country that has casualities resting on their shoulders.
"Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind
I hate these thoughts I can't deny"
Enlightenment comes with a lot of benefits and costs. If you are of the few that think outside the boundaries of society, you are rather enlightened. You "think outside the box made for you". However, you are burdened all in one because you are unable to fix these problems as they lie right in front of you. You're overcome with frustration as everything the world has to offer you comes surging through your neurons. "Dreaming of screaming" shows frustration at a high degree. "Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't deny" shows someone who doesn't want to be knowledgeable of all the things most people are unaware abou because of the power of this knowledge. It's almost like a burden.
"Dreaming" has got to be one of my all-time favorite System songs.
