Name: Dreamland
Duration: P00H03M29S
Description: 'Dreamland' is a song about dissociation. It's a different state of being that is devoid of pain. In the context of this song, however, being devoid of pain does not equal happiness. In this song, I'm describing dissociation and the feeling of listlessly drifting through a world where nothing feels real, everything you hear is nonsense and all of your emotions are gone.

lyrics

I woke up in a dream last night
Where everything is black and white
Orion shining in the sky
Peering into my mind's eye

It's 3am a sleepless night
Don't know if that's wrong or right
All it needs is your own spin
Just enough to let you in

I run out the window
And climb up the sky
I jump off the roof
And fly so high
Into the night where I live and die
I run out the window
And climb up the sky

Rain pouring out my window
Diamonds in a grazing field
Children play in the wind
Saturns rings are almost healed

It's 5am a sleepless night
The sun will soon be shining bright
My mind is on a border line
Broken but at least it's mine

The wind singing in the trees
A semi-perfect melody
Distant worlds that you can't see
Holding everything you need

I run out the window
And climb up the sky
I jump off the roof
And fly so high
Into the night where I live and die
I run out the window
And climb up the sky
I don't know if I'll be back again
This place is too good to pretend
Gray paradise in the morning rain
I'm in a world where I feel no pain
The sun is gone and now I'm good
To start living like I should
Away from the world and I'm feeling fine
I run out the window and climb up the sky.
