Lyrics:

You called me a thief and it made me so sad
Cos you stole almost everything that I ever had
Now call me a liar and I'll point you the way
To every time that you begged me to stay

So long
Now I have finally gone
Back to where I once belonged
Can you not see it's so wrong to leave me on my own?

Lend me your ear and I'll tell you a tale
Of all the times I've put my soul up for sale
The devil will push with his venomous hands
But the lord will embrace you cos you're in his plans

So behave
The future belongs to the brave
And your present is too precious to save
So be here from the cradle to the grave
And I'll be by your side

I am blessed
To be a part of this eternal quest
Where I'm no more than a speck at best
And I know I'm only a guest in the house of the lord

I'm Only a Guest in the House of the Lord

'In My Dreams' is an introspective indie-rock song about a blossoming friendship that starts to fall apart when jealousy gets in the way. The lyrics are racked with a sense of guilt about having strong feelings that ultimately lead to heartbreak for both parties.

Lyrics

Try to open up your mind
Allow the worldly things to escape
Look out the corner of your eye
And watch the world taking shape
You asked me why I bothered to come here
I was desparately seeking the light
You said I'm too busy thinking of the ending
And I'm beginning to think you were right
I tried to shrink the world down to nothing
So I could push it under my thumb
I'm pretty good at finding distractions
To help keep me comfortably numb
I kinda wanna hand you a blindfold
'Cos I don't really wanna be seen
I hope you can finally forgive me
If I ever have the guts to come clean
The look in your eyes feels like bullets
And I'm shielding myself from the glare
I take shelter from anything real
And act like it's not even there
I don't know why I keep pretending
To love things I know I've outgrown
I can't seem to get it together
But I don't wanna get it alone
As I feel the beat of your heart surround my room
It's such a fleeting feeling that's gone too soon
I sculpted your face into ice
So I could watch the flow of your tears
I wanted to hold you in my arms
But you were already embracing your fears
I don't see how we can have a future
If we can never learn to adapt
I thought I held the key to your freedom
But I'm the lock that's keeping you trapped
Tell me how you know this is real
How do you know I'm not a fake?
They say the eyes are the window to the soul
But from the inside mine seem opaque
As I see the memories drifting downstream
Now the only place that I see you is in my dreams

In My Dreams

Stay Here

Calebo are a 4-piece introspective indie-rock band from London, UK.

Singer-songwriter Dan Caleb, guitarist Georgia Maria, bassist Rob Ouseley and drummer Roy Lubugumu met on the famous London open-mic circuit in 2017.

Dan Caleb’s songwriting harks back to early 90s Seattle, evoking the spirit of bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana, via the melodic and lyrical sensibilities of introspective songwriters such as Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens.

Georgia Maria’s inspired guitar playing conjures the virtuosity of the likes of John Frusciante and Joe Bonamassa. The rhythm section of bassist Roy Lubugumu and drums provide the driving backbone to Calebo’s infectious songs.

Calebo are renowned for their energetic live performances, having played sell-out shows at venues across London. The band has worked with engineers Andy Baldwin (Blur, Faith No More) and Mike Hillier (Django Django) and debut album 'Kaleidoscopic Mind' was released in July 2023.
