(D)eath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In my dreams
I awake as daylight breaks and wash my face
Put my bedroom back in its place
And tucked away

Write a note of a few things I want to say
And leave it on the fireplace
And in my dreams, another day

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
In my dreams
I stare out in the distance of the city scene
From way up here, it's so serene

There's nothing said
As I make myself more comfortable with the edge
I leap into the darkest night
Wind on my face, it satisfiеs
I never have fеlt so alive
And in my dreams, I fly away

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

A journey of a person who believes “life is but a dream.”

He ends up killing himself by jumping off a building. He feels justified in his actions, even euphoric, because he thinks he is dreaming, therefore it doesn’t matter.

An orchestra ensemble grows louder and more sinister as the song ends, signifying the abrupt end of his life.
