Dreaming (Your Own Life)

Rock Ballad / Wake-Up Anthem

The Story

When was the last time you did something just because you wanted to – not because a screen, a trend or a stranger told you so?

“Dreaming (Your Own Life)” is a wake-up call. We scroll through a million perfect lives, trade our souls for hollow gold and let the world command our hands – until we forget the sound of our own heartbeat. This song tears the wires out, breaks the mirror and screams what we all need to hear sometimes.

Stop living someone else’s dream. Your own life is waiting – right here, right now.

Lyrics

The screen is bright, the room is cold
A million stories bought and sold
They tell me who I ought to be
But stranger's eyes are all I see
I look for truth, I look for friends
But the scrolling never ends
The noise is getting way too loud!
I'm just a face within the crowd!
I trade my soul for hollow gold
No!

Stop dreaming their life!
Cut like a knife!
Don't live the lie!
Open your eyes!
Break the mirror! Make it real!
Wake up from the digital daze!
Wake up and dream your life!

They say perfection is the goal
But emptiness will take the toll
You built a castle made of sand
And let the world command your hand
But listen to that quiet sound
Your own heart beating on the ground!

The static noise, it drowns the soul!
I'm losing grip, I'm losing control!
I tear the wires from my veins!
I'm breaking out of all these chains!
Yeah!

Stop dreaming their life!
Cut like a knife!
Don't live the lie!
Open your eyes!
Break the mirror! Make it real!
Wake up from the digital daze!
Wake up and dream your life!

Turn off the voices in your head
Remember words you never said
The influence is fading out
It's time to scream, it's time to shout!
I am not a follower!

Don't live their lie
Your dream is waiting
Right here

Stop dreaming their life!
Cut like a knife!
I won't let them tell me how to feel!
Just break the mirror! Make it real!
We are waking from the daze!
This life is yours!

Dream your life
