Speaking on the track, in an interview with We Are Going Solo, Tessa Rae said: “Dreamland is about wanting to escape the cards you’ve been dealt and take your fate into your own hands. We wanted the video to have a home movie-like feel, like someone looking back through time and reliving memories.”
[Verse 1]
No god’s gonna save us
No one’s gonna set us free
This life that they gave us
Ain’t how it’s supposed to be
You said you wanted to go to a place
You’ve never seen
A place that’s out of this world
Of this space
Just you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember every moment
I remember every breath
I remember all the things
They probably forget
[Chorus]
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
[Verse 2]
No heaven is waiting
Not the one inside our heads
No angel debating
Our sins and out regrets
You said you wanted to find
What it was that held us down
Climb up from the walls just enough
Before you drown
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember every moment
I remember every breath
I remember all the things
They probably forget
[Chorus]
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
[Bridge]
Oh honey
You know you see inside my soul
Oh honey
You say you know just where to go
It’s funny
They say our fate is set in stone
Oh honey
Oh honey
Oh honey
Please
[Chorus]
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
This place ain’t what it seems
Covered up with roses can’t hear the screams
All the quiet people living quiet lives
And oh so quiet dreams
