about

Dreams sometimes portray that which we desire but cannot have, taunting us with an impossibility. This song is about the feeling of despair knowing those desires cannot ever be realized.

lyrics

These dreams
They flash before my eyes
Yet it seems
Any trace of hope always dies

How can I bear this pain within me
As I long for what cannot be?

Yet still I reach
For that which I desire
Ignoring the impossibility
Of this mere figment of a fantasy
Which I cannot acquire

How can I bear this pain within me
As I long for what cannot be?
