| | A Bad Dream Lyrics Artist(Band):Keane
over every town up and down the line? I'll die in the clouds above and you that I defend, I do not love. I wake up, it's a bad dream, No one on my side, I was fighting But I just feel too tired to be fighting, guess I'm not the fighting kind. Where will I meet my fate? Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate. And when will I meet my end? In a better time you could be my friend. [chorus] I wake up, it's a bad dream, No one on my side, I was fighting But I just feel too tired to be fighting, guess I'm not the fighting kind. Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side But you're long gone, yeah you're long gone now. Where do we go? I don't even know, My strange old face, And I'm thinking about those days, And I'm thinking about those days. I wake up, it's a bad dream, No one on my side, I was fighting But I just feel too tired to be fighting, guess I'm not the fighting kind. Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side But you're long gone, yeah you're long gone now. If you find some error in A Bad Dream Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.

Review about A Bad Dream i love this song | Reviewer: jarrad | 3/4/09 this song is by far the best by keane and his song walnut tree and we might aswell be strangers is good :) this song is off the OC i love it and the lyricsssssssssssss it reminds me of bad things that have happened in my life. KEANE's power | Reviewer: titima | 2/2/09 don't know why i feel so nostalgic whenever i listen to this song. really, this song makes me thinkink about thousound things which go down in my life... i'd like to thanks the band for giving me the feeling of being understood... Do you know where the song came from?? | Reviewer: B | 1/28/09 probably not.. but the song originated from a poem called "An Irish Airman Forsees his Death" by William Yeats. Its about a piolt in the air force not all of your crap about fighting for love and stuff its about a real sacrifice by the way memories <3 | Reviewer: hales | 11/4/08 My favorite part of this song is:"I was fighting But I just feel too tired to be fighting,guess I'm not the fighting kind. Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side But you're long gone, yeah you're long gone now."because it reminds me of my best friend because i've given up fighting for her friendship, and there's no way it's going to be the same again... i feel for you | Reviewer: claire | 10/11/08 I am listening to this song tonite and its just making me cry. in 2007 I found out my husband had an affair with my best friend of 10 years. I dont think I will ever get over it, no matter how much I love him, which I do, heres hoping I will be able to forget!!!!!!!!!!!!not Bad feeling... | Reviewer: kIdd0h | 3/26/08 Tom C. I know what you mean...Today after 1 year of relationship with my little love, she broke up with me for god knows what reasons...I tried everything, I fought to the bitter end and lost...I reminded myself of this song that heals somehow... meanings | Reviewer: Tom C. | 3/6/08 i was always a keane fan but never really pay attention to this song until one morning after 6 years of a good relationship(i thought) my girlfriend called me saying it's over because she found a more "interesting" guy to be with. i fought for the love but lost. i gave up everything for her and now i have no one or nothing to lean on, i feel like life stop. The way I see it | Reviewer: MKlee | 2/27/08 After reading the poem "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" by Yeats, I feel pretty confident that this song is about his(by his, I mean the guy who is being described in the song) lost friend. There are 3 paragraphs that starts with I wake up~~, which means the present time. He has survived the war, and I figured this out with the lyrics "My strange old face". The other 3paragraphs that starts with 1Why~ and 2 Where~. First two parts are the time when he fought up in the clouds with the German forces, which means the past. Until the end of the paragraph3, "In a better time you could be my friend", the pilot who fought alongside him was still alive. Even though he didn't know his name or whatever, at that moment they were friends(or this pilot also could be the German fighter pilot, but not likely) Now, with the paragraph 5, all his thoughts comes back to the present time, missing his dead friend. and I also heard that Keane wrote this song after reading the poem, "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death". A lonely impulse of delight("An Irish Airman Foresees His Death",line 11), which I think echoes with the lyrics "I was born to hate", drove him to fight. Now that could be the sheer fun of flying, but fun of licensed killing(delight). I think Keane interpreted the word "delight" as a delight in killing, because I also believe there is a part of human nature that is evil, which tells us to kill the living. Well this is my interpretation of the song, could be wrong, heh. :] W. B. Yeats | Reviewer: Pixie Stick | 11/4/07 Like Bruno said, "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death" is an amazing poem.... My personal favorite! It was written by William Butler Yeats, if anyone cares... amazing track | Reviewer: JohnK | 11/3/07 Sally, do you have an email address I could contact you on? Or could you contact me on the address I submitted? Its a beautiful song and I would like to talk to you about something.
