Apocalypse Dreams Lyrics

This song makes a lot of sense to me. Having a massive, epic daydream that is more real than real life - your dreams coming true, the love of your life, pushing through your problems... but it's just a dream. You come back to reality and it's terrifying, so you keep retreating to the dream, trying to recapture that feeling. The scariness of life starts bleeding over into the dream, twisting it... do you really need all these goals? What's so bloody great about life anyway? You tell yourself you've stopped caring. Paralysed by your apocalypse dreams, the world turns too fast for you to keep up with...

Such a loner's concept; god I love these guys and their fantastic introverted music.
