Send "Waking Dream" Ringtone to Cell

Pinch me, is this real
This feeling of release?
I'm floating in your Heaven
In the corners of my dreams

Tasting life
Numb again
Close my eyes
It begins

I cannot stumble here
I am safe inside my head
When I wake up I'll forget
I'll come back to my mess

Safe inside my mind, my head (x4)

I will not leave
Stay asleep
Step further in
My ecstasy

Send "Waking Dream" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:I think this song is rather about someone who doesn't feel safe in the real world, this person faces reality with a lot of insecurity, and therefore, prefers to comfort herself with fantasies instead of dealing with her own problems. In this fantasy world she dreams of ecstatic things, love or whatever...meanwhile she keeps having a chaotic life, probably because she hides from her reality, which she doesn't like, instead of trying to change it. This world is so ecstatic that in comparison, the real one seems boring and depressing, leaving her "numb", uninterested in real things.
    I see the resemblance with drug addiction though, because constantly dreaming with the life you would like to have, is also a kind of addiction, it all comes down to obssessing yourself with something instead of dealing with your own problems or emptiness or whatever for fear of beeing unable to change things, this is, because of your insecurity. So I think this song is basically about fear, and avoidance of reality.

    Song Meaning:This song is about someone who is just wanting to stay in their own world. They keep going through life but have this feeling of numbness it doesn't bring any satisfaction. Maybe they have a lot of problems in their life that they need to fix. Once they go to sleep, they will dream be in another world but have to wake up once again to their old problems.

    General Comment:I interpret it as being about unrequited love, wanting to be with someone and being able to fully imagine it to the point where it seems real, and then realizing the mess of reality. I guess lost love would fit with this, too.

    Love is a lot like a drug that way, one that can get you higher than you ever would have thought possible without it, and lets you down really really hard.

    This song is actually sharply painful for me to listen to, gorgeous as it is.

    General Comment:Support your artists people. The CD comes with all the lyrics in...

    The line is:
    "Safe inside my mind I hide..." according to the book.

    General Comment:The first time i heard this song, i thought this song was about a fantacy she was having about someone. "im floating in your heaven in the corners of my dreams." but as she woke up and tasted life, she was numb agian. She closed her eyes and it began. further into her ecstacy. But on the other hand, dream may take a different form and she could be on something. High.

    General Comment:This song is very beautiful, what with the music, words, and vocals, along with the underlying meaning.

    At first, it puts off the impression that it's about drugs, but if you think about the words over and over again, and apply them to what they might mean in your life.... This is what I got.

    In this song, dream is prefered over reality. In your dreams, you feel almost flawless ("I cannot stumble here"). Reality is hectic, crazy, and so full of chaos ("I'll come back to this mess").

    "Pinch me, is this real, this feeling of release?"
    I translate this to... Life isn't as good as this, this can't be real.

    So, if you think about it, drugs and dreams are similar euphorias, seeing as the same words and lines can be traced between the two.

    General Comment:i think it has to do with a lost love.....she doesn't want to wake up from her dream because she wants to 'float in his heaven/in the corners of her dreams'...she knows he isn't there when she will wake up.....like i have felt once....

    General Comment:I dont think it's about drugs, I think it's about relationship and hiding from reality. However it may be drugs, but I think that she's so deep into her love that her reality is left behind.
