All the Wild Horses Lyrics

Strange story about this song. I was sleeping, and in my dream, this song was playing. Of course I'd heard it before.. but it fit so well with the dream. I couldn't believe it. It turns out, it had been playing on my iPod, and I'd woken up mid song. Recently, I've been going through a tough time in my relationship with someone. Mainly due to me "changing" myself for him. Or letting him change me, which presents a set of entirely different problems. But today.. was really the climax of our discussion about this. And throughout, I've been playing this song. Over and over. It's been stuck in my head since my dream. So here I am, bawling my eyes out, trying to grasp the meaning of this song. Could you believe how incredibly accurate this song seems, and how it came to me in a dream?

Creepy.

@AbbeyScott I don't think it's creepy. I think it's an insight into who you are. You were meant to be free, and in this world, it's hard to be so. Every relationship binds in some way, as both players vow to care and be cared for, and the entanglement, though invited, is at once both comforting and entangling. There is a place, I believe, where we can both run free, side by side, not tethered to the expectations and fears of the world. I pray your tears flow both joy and release.
