Lyrics
So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you can help me
What could it mean?
I was on this big stage
And I’m singing proudly
With ten thousand people cheering out my name
They seem to love me
It feels amazing
And I play as good a show as ever been played
Now afterwards this older guy appears in the room
He’s not my dad but represents my dad
He tells me that he’s proud of me he gives me a hug
And that was when I woke up crying tears upon my bed
So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you could help me
What could it mean?
Ten thousand people
Daddy seems to be proud
What could it mean?
What could it mean?
Dreams can be so strange
Now I’m in the future
And the world’s on fire
They burned the oil and tore down all the trees
My daughter’s daughter
Played by Olivia Colman
She got ocean water rising up to her knees
But I can save the planet if I go back in time
With Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine
Our plan was going well until I killed my younger self
And that was when I woke up feeling sure I must be dead
So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you can help me
What could it mean?
Our planet dying
Colman up to her knees
What could it mean?
What could it mean?
Dreams can be so strange
Now I’m at the station
It’s strangely quiet
I think I’m here to beg you not to leave
Suddenly it’s night time
At a different station
When I see you waiting by your train
Now as I’m saying sorry your body transforms
Into a thousand tiny flecks of brilliant light
I wished I loved you better while you were still mine
And that was when I woke up and I turned to you and said
So I had this dream
I had this dream
Maybe you could help me
What could it mean?
Could have loved you better
But I realised- it too late
What could it mean?
What could it mean?
