The reprise of Bastille’s song “Distorted Light Beam” switches out the energetic dance-pop instrumental to a more somber instrumental.
This remix isn’t the only one to change the mood of a song from the group’s album, Give Me The Future, as the song “No Bad Days” received the same treatment.
Both...
[Verse 1]
It isn't enough to start a riot
Distort the light beam until I like me
It isn't enough if this is real life
I'll stick to dreaming, so, come see what I see
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like if this is life, I'm choosing fiction
Call it faith, call it fame, the fantasy's the same, uh
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
[Verse 2]
Levellin' up, delete my history
Choose how you see me and the future's easier
Levellin' up, in here, I'm winning
Defeat the big boss, game over, your loss
[Pre-Chorus]
Feeling like if this is life, I'm choosing fiction, uh
Call it faith, call it fame, the fantasy's the same, oh
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, will I ever? Oh, will I ever?
Oh, will I ever wake up?
[Bridge]
Hope I never wake up
I never get tired
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up, oh
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight, I can be anyone
So, don't wake me up, don't wake me up
[Outro]
And when I'm dreamin', I can do anything
So, here I go, oh-oh
Here I go
So, here I go, oh, oh-oh
