Can someone interpret the lyrics from "Dreaming" by Fool's Garden for me?

Question

Dreaming.
It’s not that easy any more when you say,
dreaming.
Why did you close the opened door while in there.
We’ve never been so near the light without you.
I’m only half the man inside, see me,
you’re so much more to me than anyone.

Leaving.
Say, do you still believe to find by
leaving
the light that you just left behind and drive in there.
The sky is dark and full of clouds without you.
There’s nothing left to kill the doubts to be with you,
was to be found and now I’m lost again.


Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don’t matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in again.


Sorry,
I never meant to break your heart so
sorry,
I didn’t see the shining stars right in there.
Now I’m lost in all the storms without you,
so afraid I miss your warmth.
Forgive me.
Don’t let me fall and take me home again.

Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don’t matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in again.


It's so easy,
we only have to go inside,
so easy.
Try to make it.
We won’t fail,
we’ll see the light 'cause it’s in there.


Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don’t matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in,
do begin.


Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don’t matter 'cause we came home tonight
There's a light, let it in again.
Let it in.

Answer 1

Probably has a different meaning but I thought I'd give it a shot:


- Dreaming.
- It’s not that easy any more when you say,
- dreaming.

"You must be dreaming!" An old saying referring the a person
that is disillusioned in having high hopes for something.

- Why did you close the opened door while in there.

"why did you shut me out?"

- We’ve never been so near the light without you.

My translation to this is that we've is referring to him being in two parts, the flesh and bones part, and the imaginative part. Imaginative in the sense that... well, its the part that's always with her, his soul.

- I’m only half the man inside, see me,
- you’re so much more to me than anyone.

"You complete me." (Some football agent movie quote)
without her. he's not whole

- Leaving.
- Say, do you still believe to find by
- leaving

"I need to find myself" A typical cop out by a disinterested lover that wants out of a relationship

- the light that you just left behind and drive in there.

"drive in there" a little uncertain over his symbolism over this.
but the light is usually a symbolism of life, energy. Assuming that he means that she is the "driving force" that keeps him going

- The sky is dark and full of clouds without you.
- There’s nothing left to kill the doubts to be with you,
- was to be found and now I’m lost again.

Emo all the way...
He's disconnected and depressed over the loss

- Is it wrong? Is it right?
- It don’t matter if we come home tonight.
- There's a light, let it in again.

"It doesn't matter about the past, let's start over"

- Sorry,
- I never meant to break your heart so
- sorry,

Self explanatory, "I did something stupid. I pissed you off, I screwed up, sorry"'

- I didn’t see the shining stars right in there.
- Now I’m lost in all the storms without you,
- so afraid I miss your warmth.
- Forgive me.
- Don’t let me fall and take me home again.

Sounds like he wandered... found another, claims that he was weak and naive and didnt realize what he had until he got caught and was punished for it, a typical reaction. "It's all fun and game till someone loses and eye."

- It's so easy,
- we only have to go inside,
- so easy.
- Try to make it.
- We won’t fail,
- we’ll see the light 'cause it’s in there.

Consdering the verse before, this is basically saying
"Hey, I uh... I know its like my fault and stuff, so why dont we pretend that nothing happened and just start from where everything was good before I screwed things up, whatdaya say? I PROMISE that I wont stray like I just did. I'm a changed man! Really!"

- ...do begin.

"Come on! Please forgive me?!!!"

so after translating this for you, this sounds like a typical male/female that decided to run off with someone else, it didnt work like they expected and is now just going back to the old familiar and normal, something safe and comfortable. The only catch is, he/she burned their bridges by leaving their lover high and dry and now they are desperate to win them back and they know that they don't have a snowballs chance unless they can wear them down or manipulate their emotions to overlook their wrong doing and give them a "second chance"

- There's a light, let it in again.
- Let it in.

From this last line, its obvious that the former lover caves in to his/her pleadings and still has enough emotion for them to take them back.

"Manipulative Second Chance" would have been a better title
