"Punching In A Dream" [ALISSA:] All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces If I died on the screens Life tearing at the seams Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare If it falls apart I would surely wake it Bright lights turn me clean This is worse than it seems Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare [TOM:] They'll get through They'll get you In the place that you feel it the most When you're cornered When it's forming In the place that you wish was a ghost [ALISSA:] Wo-oah Wo-oah Wo-oah, wo-oah Wo-oah Wo-oah Wo-oah, wo-oah Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare Way-yay-yay-yay-yay I don't ever wanna be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare 😀😃
It’s 2012. I’m 17. I don’t pay any bills. I study and work part time and spend the rest of my time playing FIFA 12. This song comes on, and me and my friend nod our heads as we choose the 4-2-3-1 formation as we set our tactics. Things will never be the same again. Miss you bro. Although you live on the same street, I see you passing maybe once a month. Just remember, I’ll never forget.
@@jacobhernandez1867 No fucking clue what you are talking about...last FIFA I played was on PS2 in 2000-2001 in beginning of college, so guess I'm too old...but this was my jam in 2011, and I'd always try put on at parties.
@@randyballweg6079 90s were alright, did seem to me missing that happy optimism that was prevalent in a lot of '80s music. You know, if you were too young to understand the undertones of New Wave or grasp that whole cold war thing.
All the lights go down as I crawl into the spaces Fight, flight, or the screams, life tearing at the seams Wait, I don't ever want to be here Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare If it falls apart I will surely wake it Bright lights turn me green, this is worse than it seems Wait, I don't ever want to be here Like punching in a dream, breathing life into my nightmare They'll get through, they'll get you In the place that you fear it the most In the corner, where it's warmer In the face that you wish was a ghost Wait, I don't ever want to be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into the nightmare Wait, I don't ever want to be here Like punching in a dream breathing life into the nightmare
"Like punching in a dream, breathing life into a nightmare..." Got me in the feels. Like a daily struggle trying to live in this world trying to achieve one's goals and desires.
I've always related to those lyrics too. Sometimes when you try your best in life and to fight off your demons but it's like punching in a dream or punching in slow motion just like everyone who has ever tried to punch or run in a dream for some reason its always in slow motion.
" I don’t ever want to be here" I hope sometime in future I will look back into this comment and have a different view of this sentence, as it represents my entire life nowadays, I hope I will get through this
Tevez and Benzema going to Inter, Man City buying every CAM there is, like Götze and Wilshere, and many more transfers which would happen in every career mode save. But damn, who cares. Its lovely to remember how it was back then.
This song has such an amazing nostalgic feeling for me and all I can think of is being a kid playing Forza Horizon 1 with this blasting on the in game radio. If not for that game it's possible I would have never even discovered this absolute gem!
Same bro. Just played it now before they took the servers down, man when this song came on while cruising at night it just hit me like a rock. Like honestly it got me pretty emotional. Just felt like a kid all over again
The overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and that corresponding physical feeling of your heart gets me in every song of them, I don't know why but it's amazing
@@adidkjfsame... I had a strange feeling of nostalgia listening to this song even when it was brand new material. That feeling hits even harder now, listening back all these years later, when it actually makes sense to feel nostalgic remembering how life felt back then when I absolutely rinsed this album on repeat
@@Noah_Pology its hard for me to listen to this stuff these days.. 2010 was the prime of my youth and life is so different now... it hits like a truck and i want to let these memories rest in peace... these songs are pure Masterpieces and i Think only people with a melancholic soul will understand this vibe... its sad but yet still amazing in some way..
this reminds me of my lonely childhood from when I was 8,9,10,11,12 just sitting in front of the computer and listening to music all day. Music was my rescue and escape. It lightened my day and made me forget my feelings, made me feel less alone and less alienated. Good songs like this made me so happy, it was a shining light in the dark, long tunnel. I love nothing more than music. Dear music, thank you so much for existing. Dear artists, thank you so much for making my life better.
@@Maxissimus Go out more. Meet more people. I don't know if you're introverted or not but if so fight the urge to stay home and instead go to the party, not even but ESPECIALLY if you dread it. All you need are one or two good friends though, the rest will be fake anyway.
@@Maxissimus Guten tag. I took German in high school and I speak it very terribly. Eh, parties may be a bad example. Whatever y'all do over there communally and socially. I'm introverted too by nature and what I learned was best was to force myself into the social situation. Just don't disengage. Anyway, the very best of luck to you.
I got to know that song through the Vampire Diaries TV show, back in 2011. It's been 12 years ever since. So much has happened. Listening to it now, in 2023, and closing my eyes takes me back through time.
Totally forgot this song was in Forza Horizon 1, was a pleasant surprise when it came on through Horizon Pulse when I launched off the Grid at Night 🤣 👍
Lo recordé por el FIFA 12 también 😭😭 quisiera volver a jugarlo, lastimosamente mi PSP no tiene cargador y está descargado 😞😥 la canción me llena de nostalgia. 😢😩
This song makes me sad actually. Makes you feel like you're trapped somewhere. Like you're trapped in your own head, subject to your own devices. I think this song is about a person going crazy, and trying to be okay with it.
@@pascalchimbonda7827 Been through it. Good luck, Pascal... I was introduced to this track when I was with my soulmate. I messed up (not cheating) and lost her. I still haven't recovered from that (2 years ago), but I still absolutely adore this track...
Such a feel good song! First time I heard this song it was by complete accident. My boss was playing it and I was like can you please turn it up and I literally listen to this every other day.
