That happens when you're stuck inside a dream you don't want to get out of. Based off of a battle scene in Persona 4: The Animation where the main character gets stuck in a hallucination.
lyrics
Verse 1
No fear, no hate; it’s what I’ve always wanted
It’s how I dreamed, what I dreamed my life to be
Don’t care at all, for everything else that I
Don’t want, don’t need: the lotus eater machine
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
This why I’m here to stay
Verse 2
I feel alive; dismissing all that I’ve known
There’s no limit, to how much I can live on
Turn off all signs, of my old reality
This is my life: the lotus eater machine
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
This why I’m here to stay
Chorus
This is what I want from you
All the things I couldn’t do
I don’t care for anything
This is my reality
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
No more life in disarray
This why I’m here to stay
Chorus
This is what I want from you
All the things I couldn’t do
I don’t care for anything
This is my reality
I’m held captive of this dream
Losing all reality
Holding fear of going back
This is my reality
