Monsters by The Midnight

The song was written by band members tim_mcewan and tyler_lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of three minutes and thirty-nine seconds and is in the key of B-flat major.

McEwan has said that Dream Away is a &quot;homage to the 90s wave of world influenced electronic music like Deep Forest and Engima.&quot; During an interview with Magnetic Magazine, the band further elaborated on the song: &lt;blockquote&gt;

Tim: This was a sketch I had called “Far, Far Away.” I just knew I wanted to evoke a journey to a distant land. A lot of 90s world music came to mind. The big inspirations for this were artists like Deep Forest and Enigma and those Pure Moods compilation CDs from the 90s.

Tyler: To waste your life asking the wrong questions, building the wrong reality is one of the saddest heartbreaks. I wrote this song initially as part of a podcast series I did between ‘16-18 while reading a lot of Emile Durkheim. Maybe the answer is to let go of the fantasy so that you can start living in the more disappointing, but real world. Maybe not? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Lyrics
I was busy dreaming Building us a world Day dreaming up a good life That wouldn’t hurt and wouldn’t spoil &gt;

The sun never set there The water, clean and pure In the beauty there was purpose So certain, safe and sure &gt;

I could’ve lived this lie forever But from far far away I thought I heard you calling You said I could not stay &gt;

And I woke up in a fever My calculations were wrong These pillars could not hold us And the angels were gone &gt;

When hope makes you bleed When life gets you down There’s all the love you need Underground &gt;

To make a way for the dark heart To feel the love I’ve found There’s all the love you need Underground &gt;

"We dream away…" &gt;

A picture of a sunset Above a turquoise tide The beauty of a just world And the convenience of a lie &gt;

I tore down that picture There is no other perfect life But in the dirt under my fingers Maybe something will survive &gt;

When hope makes you bleed When life gets you down There’s all the love you need Underground &gt;

To make a way for the dark heart To feel the love I’ve found There’s all the love you need Underground &gt;

"We dream away…" Lyrics source
