What you need is gravity to take this giant down and set you free. It’s a world out there of flattery, subtle ties and fake handshakes and you only trust yourself. What do you see in security, it ties you up and hangs you out of time. It’s a classic case, a tragedy, it chews you up and spits you out and you have only got one chance. These are my dreams, feeble as they are. I’m learning a thing or two, it’s in the way you"(go get what you want). These are my dreams, selfish as they seem. I’m ripping apart the seams. It’s all about how you go get what you want. So tell me who you want to be, I think it’s time "I heard it straight from you. It’s been a winding road, a slippery slope. You’re all mixed and turned around and you don’t even know yourself. So we’re stuck inside a day dream (day dream) but we don’t wanna wake up (wake up).



Behind the Song:
“"These Are My Dreams" is THE song that the next winner of "American Idol" will be forced to sing upon their acceptance of the crown. One of the more “produced” songs on the record, we really enjoyed the layering techniques in recording this song. It's very much about the struggles that surround this simple dream I strive for. I don't think people realize how hard (and defeating) this lifestyle can be. There aren't always kids at our shows, but we continue on and shake the dust off our feet, because it's all we know. We trust that things will get better. That's what this song is about.” - Daniel Castady (The Fold)
