*** Inspired by the poem "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe (1849) (edit: and Lana Del Rey I should add, thanks Renka for pointing it out 😊) More songs in a similar style can be found in this playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/daacedbb-06ea-456c-ad0e-6b21022443e3 *** [Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Take this kiss upon the brow, A silent vow, we're fading now... You were right to call me lost, All my days, a dream—just dust. [Pre-Chorus] If hope is gone like golden light, Slipping through my hands at night... Tell me, was it ever mine? [Chorus] All that we see or seem, Is just a dream within a dream... Like waves that pull and leave, I'm drowning in what used to be... [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] Standing where the whitecaps roar, Fingers grasp at something more... Grains of time just slip away, No hands can make them stay. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, God, if I could hold them tight, If I could steal back one last night... Would it change this fate of mine? [Chorus] All that we see or seem, Is just a dream within a dream... Like echoes lost at sea, I fade into eternity... [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge] O God, can I not save one... From the pitiless wave...? Is it all... slipping... slipping away...? [Outro] All that we see or seem, Is just a dream... Within a dream... Within a dream... [Instrumental fade out]
