The Dream Time Machine Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's like a dream to me
All the things that I see
(Oh ho ho) It starts from something small
Yeah, I am the man now

It's like a dream to me
All the things that I see
Started from something small
Yeah, I am the man now

[Verse 1]
See (yeah)
All of the things they said could not be
Complete (yeah)
So in control of who I want to be

Yeahh Whoaa Whoa

[Pre-Chorus]
Times have changed now
I've changed, a good difference

More champagne now
What I'm seeing for the world I wouldn't miss it

[Chorus]
It's like a dream to me
All the things that I see
(Oh ho ho) It starts from something small
Yeah, I am the man now

It's like a dream to me (it's like a dream to me)
All the things that I see (all the things that I see)
(Oh ho ho) It starts from something small (from someting small)
Yeah, I am the man now

[Verse 2]
Go (yeah)
Far beyond the mind hopes to go
Fly (yeah)
You got places to be, can't let the time speed by

[Pre-Chorus]
Times have changed now
I'm strong, a good difference

More champagne now
What I'm seeing, for the world, I wouldn't miss it

[Chorus]
It's like a dream to me
All the things that I see (oh ho ho)
Start from something small
Yeah, I am the man now

It's like a dream to me (it's like a dream to me)
All the things that I see (all the things that I see)
(Oh ho ho) It starts from something small (start from something small)
Yeah, I am the man now

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

WZRD collaborated with the Australian duo Empire of the Sun on this tune. Cudi recalled the joining of forces:

We made this record with Empire of the Sun. Ordered a bunch of dope vintage keyboards, they came over. [We were] jamming for hours. How they work is just so crazy. It’s so different from how we work and so inspirational

They ended up taking “The Dream Time Machine” to another realm. Dot had the core of what the record was already done…, but we both knew something was missing. Luke [Steele] and Nick [Littlemore], they added a lot of the background ambiance, those chants and trippy sounds
