Discover the story of the song > “You’re Dreaming” – Wolf Parade

The song is about the protagonist and their partner who are both dreaming and not fully present in the moment. The protagonist is up all night with the Century Ghosts and the lyrics hint at a feeling of being stuck in a violent age. They want to change their life but feel trapped. The lyrics suggest that life is like shattered glass and collapsing systems on a screen, but that's not reality, they need to wake up from their dream.
