Progressive metalcore band Generations recently released their new single "DreamBound", and to celebrate we asked guitarist Dawson Park to tell us about the song. Here is the story:
Dreambound is a very special song to our band, as musicians it forced us to grow and told a story about the change you experience going from your teen years to adulthood. Gerren wrote this song when he was in his early 20s, like the rest of us, that was a time where your life changes so much. He was really depressed and was having difficulties coming to terms with life-changing and wanted everything to go back to normal, it was an outlet for those emotions. I'm sure our listeners can relate to that. That's why the song is so packed with emotion and at times even pain. The meaning he conveys in this song to the listener is like waking up in a dream; a world where everything is perfect and everything around you is exactly how it should be and exactly how you left it. As the song goes through the movements, he tries to make it clear that that way of living is not realistic, and in order to really face life, you must take a plunge and muster up the courage to stand up to it.
