Hei'An - "dreamer" (Live at EastWest Studios)

Behold, the third single from our upcoming live EP "Live at EastWest Studios"! 🦋

Here's what Matic had to say about it:

"This song holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first song I’ve ever written in my life. When I initially wrote it, it sounded waaaaay different than what it sounds like now, but it’s still a special one. The studio version also features Joe Buras from Born of Osiris, but when we play it live, Aljaž, our backing vocalist, does his own thing on that part of the song, and since he’s a new addition to the band, we really wanted for him to be able to perform this part at EastWest Studios, so he can show the world what he’s got."

Full live EP "Live at EastWest Studios" coming on October 6th 2023!

LYRICS:

Just when I thought that I had escaped
You appeared
And I felt so safe in the land I had shaped
Oh, you appeared

I saw the sky change from gray to blue
But did you?
I saw the clouds clear, the sun shining through

But did you?
Oh, did you?
But did you?
Oh, did you?

So leave me if you wanna
I won’t hold you back
So break me if you gotta
Make my armor crack
Or you could stay with me tonight
We’ll see what we can find
In the world of a dreamer
About to shut the light

I long for answers, you give me opposing signs
Sending a message only blurs the lines

Between a kiss and a goodbye
Between a kiss and a goodbye

So leave me if you wanna
I won’t hold you back
So break me if you gotta
Make my armor crack
Or you could stay with me tonight
We’ll see what we can find
In the world of a dreamer
About to shut the light

So leave me
(Leave me)
So break me
(Break me)
So leave me
(Leave me)
Break me
(Break me)

I, I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back

Oh!

I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back

Oh!

Oh!

I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you back
I won’t hold you

Now I know that
No matter where this goes
I understand that
I don’t need your hand
And you don’t need mine
Now I see that
The only thing that wants me
Are my dreams

So leave me if you wanna
I’ll move on
So break me if you gotta
I can heal on my own
No need to stay with me tonight
There ain’t a thing for you to find
In the world of a dreamer
With his light still shining bright


With his light still shining bright
With his light still shining bright
With his light still shining bright
With his light shining bright
