The Dream

Sanctus Real's song 'The Dream' delves into the profound realization that true fulfillment and completeness are not found in external achievements or material possessions, but in meaningful relationships and inner peace. The lyrics express a longing to explore the world and achieve various goals, only to discover that the true 'dream' is not a place or a thing, but a person who brings light and completeness to the singer's life. This person, presumably a significant other or a divine presence, is revealed to be the missing piece that the singer has been searching for all along.

The song's chorus, 'The dream is alive, I feel it inside, When you're close, I see the light,' emphasizes the transformative power of this relationship. It suggests that the presence of this person brings clarity and a sense of purpose, making the dream feel tangible and within reach. The repetition of 'It's you, It's you' reinforces the idea that the dream is not an external pursuit but an internal realization of love and connection.

Sanctus Real also touches on the human tendency to be distracted by fleeting obsessions and the weakness of the human heart. However, the lyrics highlight that beneath these distractions, there is a deeper need for genuine connection and love. The song concludes with a sense of gratitude and amazement at having finally understood the true source of fulfillment, encapsulated in the lines, 'Can't believe I ever had a doubt, Wrap your arms of love around me now.' This realization brings a sense of peace and completeness that the singer had been longing for.
