Little fun fact: Chapters and Spitting Lies were at the bottom compared to the other eight songs from Primrose Path. I never once looked up the lyrics to Chapters though, until May of this year when CJ and Rhys both announced their departure from the band. The lyrics: "Release yourself, it's for your health." "You door was closed, I opened mine..." THAT was clear that CJ had so many problems outside of writing and singing for Dream State, and now looking back at their music, she always sung about finding positivity in life. A part of me is with her, as this band helped me through so much shit in 2018 and 2019. My life goes on, and I'm doing everything that I can to be happy, but it has definitely been so much tougher with CJ not being the frontwoman for what was my favorite band.
I just got sober 3 months ago and this band is really helping me, at the gym, with my mindset, etc. I wonder if CJ has issues with addiction, with some of the lyrics and titles (Recovery EP and such). If so, I hope she gets better soon and to anyone reading this, you CAN stop!
bro i feel exactly the same, i never been the same since Dream State loses CJ, i feel so sad and its like her grab on piece of me with the quit ( sorry for bad english )
I love that you guys are singing together more in this album. I’m really digging the emotional power you both inflict. One of my favorite bands since discovering White Lies years ago
his voice fits so good with the song wtf you all are killing it ^^ i appreciate each and everyone of you and not only cj she is amazing but to me you all are the best!
I think it's about failed relationships, about feelings and emotions of a person who thinks he failed them, when feelings had only begin to become mutual. But he also admit that there is fault of his crush either, like: "We open the floodgates and drown in our words" - these words are about how we speek to many unwanted and wrong words sometimes instead of the ones about our value to each other. "Undisciplined and infectious, we lose control and it wrecks us" - it's about our inability to built and maintain healthy relationships. "Can I forgive myself for not choosing a better time?" - also the person thinks that maybe he had reveal his feelings too early and this became the main reason of parting. Well, no matter how precise my vision is, those lyrics were born entirely by feelings and emotions and are much more understandible if you happen to feel the same, rather if you try to explain it by reason
@@SirJohnHolmes_I thank you for your insights. I'm connecting with this song very heavily because I am a going through some things and the lyrics resonate heavily with me. Especially the last line
@@Paladin1034 I have come here back then for the same reason. This song resonated with what I had felt. And that what I meant by "those lyrics were born entirely by feelings" - you won't be able to understand and feel this song wholy if you hadn't experienced the same things, IMHO... You have your own story, but I think I can understand what you feel now, at least partially. I know it hurts, but it makes you alive, maybe even more alive than in most of your life when everything was fine. To bleed is to feel, to feel is to live... P.S. Actually the lines from "I know you won't be the first" to "Benevolent mother, your sister is here" remained unclear for me. Maybe you'll want kindly to explain your interpretation of it? English isn't my native language, you know :)
Please forgive me bro, but I had no idea you could sing this good too. You guys have seriously blown my mind with this album and you were already my favorite band before it.
Actually this band after only debut album and all ep's made top 5 on my list favourite bands of all time and I don't think it would be ever change. I listen to rock music for about 14-15 years and can't find better female fronted band plus they have very talented male singer/guitarist, which is proven especially in that song "Chapters". We need all to spread a word about Dream State on whole world
I'm sorry buy (unpopular opinion incoming) this is definitely the only bad track. CJ's voice makes Dream State. If he wants to do backing vocals, fine. But give him his own song? No. Sorry. CJ makes the band.
Jamie Curley I definitely have to disagree with you. Rhys has a beautiful singing voice and showing that the band can do their renowned style of music as well as duet styled music like this shows that they're not locked to one genre. Flexibility can make good bands even better. Saying that CJ makes the band is honestly a bit disrespectful to the other members of Dream State.
@@VIISkies Maybe saying she makes the band was wrong. All the musicians in the band are awesome & I love their sound. But CJ's is very unique & it's what 1st caught my attention when I heard them years ago. If I heard Rhys's voice 1st, I wouldn't of been half as interested in the band.

Completely agree with this

i'm in love for you bro
CJ and Rhys voices mesh well together. Digging the duo. Need more!
Rhys has such a beautiful voice 🖤
I love that you guys are singing together more in this album. I’m really digging the emotional power you both inflict. One of my favorite bands since discovering White Lies years ago
This made me cry even more than the other songs, but I needed that
I truly love this song. Wish you guys all the luck in the world you deserve it this album is a masterpiece.
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT OMG
Those last two lines hit me like a ton of bricks. "the things we can't undo can't become our undoing". Fuck.
Favorite track for sure!
his voice fits so good with the song wtf you all are killing it ^^ i appreciate each and everyone of you and not only cj she is amazing but to me you all are the best!
Love the shared vocals, another profound work of art guys, I wish you guys the all the best
Lyrics reveal a touching story, which is perfectly presented by their voices conjunction
What is your interpretation of the story?

wow. i really wasnt expecting that. not sure what to say. what an incredible song. it dosnt have to be hard n heavy. beautiful piece of work.
Wow he was killing it
Somebody just walked over my grave...this is fucking AMAZING!!!! We need more from you Rhys!!
Please forgive me bro, but I had no idea you could sing this good too. You guys have seriously blown my mind with this album and you were already my favorite band before it.
Absolutely incredible song the lyrics are amazing
I've been saying when are we getting more vocals from him! Yay!
Why is Dream State not at the top of EVERYONE's list?! The most real band out there right now
This is exactly what I'm saying. I show them to everyone I can. Spread the word guys!
Actually this band after only debut album and all ep's made top 5 on my list favourite bands of all time and I don't think it would be ever change.

Dynamic Duo!
Damn each song listen I end up liking better then the last
Banger. reppin S.Wales.
I love his voice
Это именно та группа, от которой я тащусь не только в плане музыки, но и от людей, которые её создают,очень уж они классные ребята))
I fucking love this band everything I have heard from them is fucking awesome
fuck yes rhys such a great voice and i love the short spoken word bits
Never Give up
This song is both too short and severely underrated
เข้ามาฟังเพราะเขาจริงๆ🙂
AMAZING SONG!WHY CJ LEFT TH BAND!?
Whoa! this isn't CJ. He has a nice voice
It's Rhys
this needs an OMV.
Yes it needs
I don't know man, i don't recognize this song like dream state ... 🤔😢
Its TOTALLY DS lol
I don't like that song..others are much better in my opinion
I'm sorry buy (unpopular opinion incoming) this is definitely the only bad track. CJ's voice makes Dream State. If he wants to do backing vocals, fine. But give him his own song? No. Sorry. CJ makes the band.
