Dream State - Monsters [Official Music Video]

Dream State's new single Monsters is out now: unfd.lnk.to/Mo...
I'm just a little bit of a mess
I wear it all like a pretty dress
Kinda,
Exposed but honest
I'm learning to love all of me
I blame myself
I blame myself
For all the mistakes I made in between
I blamed myself
I can't blame myself
All those mistakes
They made me.
I built those bridges
That you saw on fire
You think I've lost it
And my life's in dire
Straight to the point
This is my vice you know
I'm not a victim
I am in control
And you should know
You don't know just what I'm made of
You don't know just what I'm made of, love.
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
I'm so sick of the monsters we're fed
They keep chasing me down
Running around my head
And we scare ourselves
Then blame ourselves
When we don't know where we wanna go
Or what we wanna do next
What do you wanna do next?
I will eclipse my former self
Just so I can better serve you
I will love vehemently
You don't know just what I'm made of
You don't know just what I'm made of, love.
Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?
And i've been sat in the dark for too long
Holding all of my truth for too long
I wanna open my eyes
I wanna speak my mind
We've been sat in the dark for too long
Holding all of our truth for too long
We've gotta open our minds
We've gotta be the light
Straight to the point this is my vice you know
I'm not a victim I am in control
And you should know
You don't know just what I'm made of!

The last song we got with CJ and her amazing vocals. She never failed to disappoint. I really hope she comes through all her struggles. Met her in person she spoke so passionately about her pain and issues. I think we all will be definitely sending her love and our best wishes and thoughts

[@godxxofxxwar22]

Heyyyy I need some insight cus I loved this singer and the new one def looked a little different. What happened, it is someone different now? My heart is hurting, and I wish the best for her, she was amazing

[@soulwonder8748]

Yeah man I miss her a lot

[@darvidtorres]

She's the best

[@stayaleart_]

Hope she is alright these days. Completely miss her voice.

[@godxxofxxwar22]

I will never find another female vocalist like her :/

[@nnnickkk]

I'm incredibly jealous of the fans that got to see this band pre 2022. You all witnessed a very special moment of rock/metal history.

[@INTEL-REDACTED]

i hope CJ is ok and makes it through her struggles. she was such a good vocalist. maybe we'll see her again someday.

[@rosalie5486]

CJ's voice just gets better and better 👏🏻👏🏻 the song is amazing and the lyrics are awesome 🔥

[@dominickainling]

I don't really know her, listened one or two times to Dreamstate before But if it is now like this, wasn't it good before OO I dunno, but she sounds like she's been at a goodest for quite a time She got a beautiful voice, and whilst that easily can replace a lot of Post-Hardcore Male Singers to match a Duo with another Fem Singer

[@HorrorNerd1997]

CJ's voice is outstanding, one of my savoured songs is "in this hell"

So sad to hear that CJ and Rhys left. I fell in love with this band a few years ago and was really excited for their future! I hope to see them back one day and in a better place, but mental health is paramount and if that doesn't happen then I just want say; Thank you guys for the amazing music and I wish you the best in your lives! Love from Canada 🇨🇦!

[@malvadomitis325]

Yeah man i'm from brazil and i fell in love too with this masterpiece, i'm so sad right now... do you recommend me some band similar to this one? or with the same style with a feminine vocalist? (Sorry for my bad english)

@@EliteSlayer542 thank you very much, I hope that in the future I can find a band as good and with a voice that fits as well as this one, (kind of hard because I'm afraid that this style of rock will disappear) I recommend you one too, the name is "Saviour" you should know, I'll check them out, but the feeling of happiness mixed with motivation that this band brings I think I'll never see in another one, apart from this "Saviour"

I'm glad the band is back and even though ima miss cj The new vocalist isn't bad! Thier new single slaps

[@maximusaralieous1728]

'I will eclipse myself just to suite you' a perfect line to describe Dream State. A God Damn shame they broke up, CJ is an incredible vocalist. I found them in a dark time. I wish nothing but peace on them.

what happened to her??

@@Ryuga.D Unfortunately during the pandemic she reported having two mental breakdowns and had decided to leave the band. She deleted all her social media and has basically disappeared at this point. The guitarist was the only remaining member and he's trying to keep the band going with a whole new group of people.

[@deadract]

Cj's voice is so different from anyone else out there. I love it!

Dream State has evolved in such a positive direction musically, vocally, spiritually... From White Lies to now, watching this band grow has been a pleasure.

CJ, if you ever read this, I think I speak for us all in saying you have an incredible gift, and we miss you.

Woooow. CJ is so beautiful and 100% talented. Excellent song, Dream State never disappoints me. I love this band with all my soul.

[@Meloooo415]

I went back to a chat on Instagram awhile ago back in 2021 and I was scrolling through and clicked on this video that this guy sent me. We really bonded over music like metal, punk and rock. His favorite band was Polaris but he also like iamjakehill. He really got me listening to both of those people but now anytime I listen to them I think about him and how and I honestly miss talking to him. We lost contact because I think he deleted his instagram or something happened to it but it's weird that I still often think about him 2-3 years later. His username was phobia something and looking through the comments of this video I saw you and thought wow what if this is him 🥺 is this you lol

[@hugoalynstephens9166]

It's a rare case of serendipity when you discover a new to you song from a band you've never heard of before that hearkens back to bigger artists' sound during a time when you were younger but speaks to you with it's own identity with lyrics to that speak to you now about who, where, why, what, when and how you currently feel you are. For me, this song and band has done just that.

[@trowa9960]

I love this song! CJ wasn't around long but she is up there among my all time favourite vocalist ever. (Kurt Cobain, Maynard James Keenan, Chris Cornell, Lzzy Hale and CJ Gilpin). Nothing against the new singer, she's good and i like your new stuff, but CJ was perfect. I hope she's doing well.

[@josefin6768]

Saw you in Copenhagen! CJ Is so nice! Even after shows she comes out to the merch shop. Loved your performance!

[@ReeceDK]

It's amazing how you keep improving your sound. The soft clean vocals had me shook and the lead guitar in the chorous brought a really nice Pop Punk/Easycore vibe. Plus the spoken words right when the music stops, that gets me every time in your songs

You guys are just awesome! You give me with your songs something I can’t explain but it feels so good. Hope to get to hear more new stuff from you! You never disappoint me! You are what I need in 2020! Thank you guys! For everything! I really hope to see you in Germany again!

Just as someone who would listen to abandon all ships, AA, BMTH, we butter the bread with butter deeeewwwd 🤣 when I was like 12 just as funny points of reference. And to see the people around my age grow up and start bands with such flare and grace coming out of that era of metal. It’s just crazy growing up and genres growing up with you. Yah know.?
