Dark Dreams

(album: All The Rage - 2011)

Have you ever dreamed that you were naked in front of a crowd and you felt exposed?
Or you had a dream that you were going down a hill,
And you were pumping the break and you couldn't stop and you were out of control?
Or another dream is that you are being chased by a malevolent pursuer
And they're chasing you along the mountain top and you can't get away.
What do these dreams mean? Are they meant to torment you or are they meant to help you?
My view is that these dreams are meant to help you in terms of dealing with the terror in yourself so you can become clear.
It's one thing to say I had a nightmare and I was upset by it and thank God it was only a dream.
It's another thing to say "Okay, I had this nightmare,
And I've been chased by a dark man in a dark mask."
To be able to turn around and say, "Who is this man?"
To look back in your life and say, "Who is this man? Is this my father? Is this my uncle? Is this a teacher? Who is this?"
So that you can stop running from them.
That's the purpose of dreams,
In order to use them as intuitive prompts,
So that you're not running away from yourself all the time and leading a life
That's driven by fear.

All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
All alone late at night, when the nightmares come alive.
I start to lose all control,
Tearing at the sheets to save my soul.
I'm falling down to the ground,
Don't understand what is around.
I'm losing my fucking mind,
Insecurites are eating me alive.

Dark dreams all night,
Dancing moonlight,
Beauty starbright,
Save me tonight.

Wake up, wake me up.
Wake up, wake me up.

All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
All these dark dreams gotta mean something.

All alone I dream again,
Can't escape the monsters in my head.
They are always right behind me,
Chasing me down a dead-end street.
Let's sail away, far away.
To the skies, stars, and beyond.
Now lay me down to sleep,
To the Sun and infinity.

All of these dark dreams,
They keep haunting me.
I don't know what to do,
Facing impending doom.

Wake up, wake me up.
Wake up, wake me up.

All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
I don't really know, maybe it's nothing.
All these dark dreams gotta mean something.
I don't really know, maybe it's nothing.

All of these dark dreams,
They keep haunting me.
I don't know what to do,
Facing impending doom.

Wake up (from my nightmare), wake me up (from my nightmare).
Wake up (from my nightmare), wake me up (from my nightmare).

Sail away, yes far away.
To the Sun, yes here we come.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
To the stars and infinity.
