Song Description

This song is about the pressures society puts especially on young girls to look and behave like an image society has created. In trying to become someone they're not, these girls lose their own identity.

Lyrics

Verse One:
Pictures flash what's in today.
By tomorrow, it's all gone away.
I turn the page, it's just another cliche.
Nothin's real it's just a game that we play.

What we see can be had for a price.
Just another face, in a masquerade.
After all there's nothin you can't have.
In a bad dream, will it go away.

Bridge:
What is the image in the mirror?
I don't know who I am.

Chorus:
I'm in a bad dream, I can't wake up
Just a bad dream, can't take too much
I'm in a bad dream, too much of this
Just a bad dream...bad dream.

Verse Two:
Society tells us how we should look.
What to wear and how to live our life.
A mannequin is what I've become.
There's no room for what is inside.

I'm feeing trapped in somebody's net.
I don't know what's real or is an illusion.
I close my eyes, and images attack me.
In a bad dream, will it go away.

Bridge:
How do I escape from this place?
Feelin' that I'm out of control.
What is the image in the mirror?
I don't know who I am.

Chorus:
I'm in a bad dream, I can't wake up
Just a bad dream, can't take too much
I'm in a bad dream, too much of this
Just a bad dream...bad dream.

Running line:
What you see is not what you get now.
It's not complicated, the look is overrated.
Stop...Let it be.

It's a fake reality now.
All regulated, the vision's way too faded.
Stop...Break it down.

Over Chorus:
Bad dream
It's just a nightmare.
It's not a fantasy.
It's an illusion.
I can't get up.

Chorus:
I'm in a bad dream, I can't wake up
Just a bad dream, can't take too much
I'm in a bad dream, too much of this
Just a bad dream...bad dream.

Vocal opera scales

Chorus:
I'm in a bad dream, I can't wake up
Just a bad dream, can't take too much
I'm in a bad dream, too much of this
Just a bad dream...bad dream.
