Discover the story of the song > The Apparition – Sleep Token

The protagonist is talking to someone who is not physically there, but appears to them in their dreams. They are scared but also have a strong connection to this person. They feel like this person has left a lasting impact on them, and even though they try to move on, they are still haunted by them. The protagonist asks why this person is never real and wonders if they can either let them go or take them with them. They want to create trouble in the dream world and make new memories with this person, because they fear that this might be the last time they see them in their dreams. But even though they try to make the most of it, they still feel empty.
