About this song

A story about dreaming too big and waiting in vain for the dream to come true

Lyrics

This here’s the story of a bitter man
Who’s done everything that he thought he can
Or could, but then
Can’t get the voices out of his head
Thinking about what his mother said
She said “You can be anything you want to be,
You can do anything you can dream”
She did a reading with her tarot cards
Said “It’s meant to be and written in the stars”.
But then, alas
It never came to pass,
Too weak to grow his hopes were stunted
He’s never getting what he wanted

Fate is not what it seems
It’s just blind hope for people with broken dreams
You take it as a given
But it’s not a guarantee
No and faith is just like gasoline
It’s the fuel that drives you when you’re losing steam
But pollutes the world you live in
And chokes the air you breath
So don’t…

He waited for glory and didn't need a plan,
The people around him they couldn't understand.
Or could, but then
Left his choices to the path ahead
They didn't know the secrets his mother did
“You can be anything you want to be,
You can do anything you can dream”
She did a reading with her tarot cards
Said “It’s meant to be and written in the stars”.
But then, alas
It never came to pass,
The promise land, the one he hunted
he’s never getting what he wanted

And fate is not what it seems
It’s just blind hope for people with broken dreams
You take it as a given
But it’s not a guarantee
No and faith is just like gasoline
It’s the fuel that drives you when you’re losing steam
But pollutes the world you live in
And chokes the air you breath
So don’t…

But then, alas
The end came too fast
No peace in death, his soul is haunted
He's never getting what he wanted

And fate is not what it seems
It’s just blind hope for people with broken dreams
You take it as a given
But it’s not a guarantee
No and faith is just like gasoline
It’s the fuel that drives you when you’re losing steam
But pollutes the world you live in
And chokes the air you breath
So don’t…
Dream
