Song Annotations
Hell You Call A Dream. The Warning delves at the dichotomy of pursuing one's passion, specifically the highs and lows of being a musician. The song explores how something profoundly cherished, such as a musical profession, may also be a source of enormous stress and tiredness. The song portrays the essence of pursuing a dream that feels like an unending struggle.Annotations and Meaning
. The first stanza conveys a sense of imprisonment, with the vocalist acknowledging the agony but choosing to stay in this difficult situation. The sentence "I've been invaded by the need to stay inside this cage" expresses the internal tension of wanting to pursue a passion despite its exhausting consequences. The prechorus presents an intriguing paradox: enjoying what one despises. The artist admits that he has run out of things to say and feels the weight of this paradox. The phrase "It's draining me out just the same, I'm in too deep" communicates a sense of overwhelm and inability to break out from the loop. In the chorus, the call for something to believe in expresses a need for purpose and meaning in the midst of turmoil. The phrase "hell you call a dream" represents the difficult reality of a dream-like pursuit that frequently feels more like a nightmare. The chaos and crashes that drive the artist insane "like an animal" convey the intense, almost primordial essence of their experience. The second verse follows with evocative descriptions of anguish and strain. The blurred vision and creeping anguish indicate the physical and emotional costs of this unrelenting endeavor. The artist is on the edge of collapse, emphasizing the ongoing need to keep going despite the hardship. The bridge deepens the battle, leaving the singer feeling immersed and unable to surface. The phrase "rope is wearing thin" represents the fraying of patience and endurance. The awareness that they can't handle it any longer highlights the breaking point that many artists experience. The last chorus and outro emphasize the hunger for belief and the desire to breathe through the smothering dream. The constant issue of whether the dream is worth the agony it brings highlights the ongoing conflict and the desire for equilibrium.Personal Reflections
The Warning's Hell You Call A Dream expresses the complex emotions of pursuing a passionate but tough vocation. The song speaks to anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of pursuing their aspirations, particularly in a hard career such as music. The track's gritty and personal lyrics underscore the strength needed to persevere in the face of adversity. The Warning's ability to depict this emotional struggle makes Hell You Call A Dream a strong hymn for people straddling the narrow line between desire and exhaustion.Hell You Call A Dream Song Lyrics
Hell You Call A Dream by The Warning
Day after day, I'm hurting, but I choose to stay this way
[Pre-Chorus]
Running out of things to say
Isn't it normal to love what we hate?
It's draining me out just the same
I'm in too deep
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream (Oh, oh)
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream
[Verse 2]
My vision's blurry as the pain keeps crawling up my skin
The pressure's building and I'm on the verge of caving in
[Pre-Chorus]
Ready and out for the kill
If this can't bring me to life, then what will?
Suffering just for the thrill
I'm in too deep
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream (Oh, oh)
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream
[Bridge]
Eyes are always open in the dark
I've been underwater right from the start
Rope is wearing thin, I can't take any more
More
[Chorus]
Give me something to believe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream (Oh, oh)
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe (Oh, oh)
Maybe I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be)
(Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream (Oh, oh)
(Hell you call a dream)
Colliding every time
The chaos drives me wild like an animal
Just wanna breathe (Oh, oh)
In this hell you call a dream
