about

About This Track:

Struggling to quit an addiction, whether it be drugs, alcohol, another person, etc.. The original inspiration was not addiction to a person, but I personified the addiction with my lyrics. so it sounds like it's about someone. As in all the arts, the songs meaning is decided by your interpretation.

I made it a goal to try to make this song sound as analog as I could. I wanted it to have a 70's kind of vibe.

Dream Me Like That (lyrics)

Slipping back into another time
Won't be long before realitiy's grip lets go
Memory manufacture will assume control
I strap myself down and settle in for the ride

Why did you dream me like that
Where you going now
Why did you leave me here Living
yet another lie
The emptiness provides a lesson
There you are again
Your God has No use for me
My dying spirit burns...

Spineless...sheltered...freedom
Shallow...weak...no reason
Severed...bleed out...streaming
Ended...started...leaving

Why did you dream me like that
Where you going now
Why did you leave me here living
yet another lie
The emptiness provides a lesson
It's just all wrong
Your God has no use for me
Now I'm through again

Slipping back into that other time
Won't be long before reality wraps its fingers around my throat
Won't be long before reality wraps its fingers around my throat

Your God has no use for me
Now I'm through again
