Your defenses were on high
Your walls were built deep inside
Yeah I'm a selfish bastard
But at least I'm not alone
My intentions never change
What I wanted stays the same
And I know what I should do
It's time to set myself on fire
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves it
A photograph of you and I [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/30_seconds_to_mars/was_it_a_dream.html ]
Your reflection I erased
Like a thousand burned out yesterdays
Believe me when I say goodbye forever
Is for good
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves it
A photograph of you and I
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves it
A photograph of you and I
(A photograph of you and I)
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves
A photograph of you and I
A photograph of you and I
A photograph of you and I
This song is so good that i think this song should be an anthem to the world. I feel like its kinda talking about me... I keep thinking my life is a dream because it is that bad? This song is the best xd
I think it is about someone that loves someone, and because they are a "selfish bastard" they lost this person, and now they wonder, "was it a dream", breath-taking song!
I think that the song is basically about someone who is completely estranged from their former love, and it just seems so hard to believe that they were together. Now that he thinks back, and the only thing he can have to prove that it happened was "a photograph of you and i... In love... ".
To me this song means: is everything we had a dream. I have photographs to prove we were together but the memories are fading. Yea i admit to be selfish, but i am not the only one. So you i have to forget and say goodbye to forever, this is the way it must be.
