"This Could Be a Dream" is a song by AURORA from her fourth album, The Gods We Can Touch.[1]
About the song[]
Aurora said to Apple Music:
"I wrote this very late, so it was completely dark the whole time. I was thinking about people's dark hours, and I wanted to make a song for those who never learn to dance and run because they're just managing to stand up. It takes so many muscles for a human body to even stand up, so I can understand why people can't find the strength for it. It's very hard to be a human, and I'm just saddened by the idea that some people never get to explore their own full potential because they constantly have to simply fight for the right to exist. That just breaks my heart. So I wanted to make a song for them."[2][3]
Lyrics[]
Look up at the light
This could be a dream
Or it could be real?
Dive into my mind
And don't come up for air
You won't need it here
Can I move you?
Can I soothe your fear?
Could you trust love
If I prove it's there?
Oh, I need to know it too
And now I don't feel you
So I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come by could you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you come by could you take me home?
Being so alive can hurt so very much
When you're losing touch
But if I touched you, would you feel it there?
Could I trust love
Even if I'm scared?
Oh, I wish I could give like I'm longing to give
Oh, I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
And I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come by could you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you come by could you take me home?
This could be a dream
This could be a dream
And I lift myself and I close my eyes
And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive
I know I should figure this out on my own
But if you come by will you take me home?
I get back up when the wind is strong
But I wish I knew how it felt to run
I know I'm not alone
And if you come could you take me home?

What used to be a heart
If now an empty space
