The song is a tribute to the victims of the Oting incident where 14 innocent civilians were brutally murdered by the Indian army at Oting village in the Mon district of Nagaland. The song attempted to echo the voice of the families of the deceased – those who would live with the memory of their loved ones who will never return home again. Written and Composed by Thotmung Muivah (Frontman, Red Light Passengers) Recorded at Tribes Studio, Dimapur Mixed and Mastered by Anupam D Moran Producer Nokho Nyekha
Lyrics: Another dream
- Advertisement -
Sitting in the kitchen just doesn’t feel the same without you
I never thought that it would be this cold around the fire
And it’s hard for me to hear the choir
Singing songs you love to sing
Coz I, I miss you even more
I wake up in the middle of the night just to realise you’re not here
When in my dream you were right in front of me
like it’s always been
And these memories they’re all I have
And these eyes they wouldn’t dry away
Coz I, I miss you even more
Chorus:
And I’ve got so much to say
But you’re not here to listen now
And everything has changed
God I wish it’s just another dream

Everything is different every minute is an hour without you
Heaven is a place where you don’t have to cry again but it’s not like here
And I know you wished to change the world
So we could be in a better place
Oh I, I miss you all the more
Chorus:
And I’ve got so much to say
But you’re not here to listen now
And everything has changed
God I wish it’s just another dream

Bridge:
Heaven knows I’ve whispered out
Your name a hundred times
Can you hear my voice
Oh I can only hope you’re looking down
There I find my peace
Knowing we’ll meet again
And I’ve got so much to say
But you’re not here to listen now
And everything has changed
God I wish it’s just..
I’ve got so much to say
But you’re not here to listen now
And everything has changed
God I wish it’s just another dream
