Bad Dream是 Keane樂隊代表作品，主唱Tom Chaplin自承寫過最好的一首歌，歌詞靈感來自於W.B.Yeats葉慈的詩作（一位愛爾蘭飛行員預知了他的死亡）但不同於詩作里主角明暸戰爭荒謬和死亡的篤定口吻，《A Bad Dream》更多的是用"為什麼"、"何處"來質問他對抗的一切，Tom Chaplin甚至希望那是一場噩夢 。
Why do I have to fly 為何我得飛越 Over every town up and down the line? 每一個城鎮和戰線之間 I'll die in the clouds above 我會死在雲端之上 And you that I defend,I do not love 而我保衛的你，卻不是我所愛的 I wake up,it's a bad dream 我驚醒，卻發現是一場噩夢專輯封面
No one on my side 無人在我身側 I was fighting 我還在戰鬥 But I just feel too tired 但我卻快精疲力竭 To be fighting 無心應戰了 Guess I'm not the fighting kind 我想我並非爭強好勝之人 Where will I meet my fate? 在哪裡才會遇見我的命運？ Baby I'm a man,I was born to hate 親愛的 我只是凡軀 生來就會憎恨 And when will I meet my end? 什麼時候才是我命運的終結？ In a better time you could be my friend 在一個更好的時候 我們會成為朋友 I wake up,it's a bad dream 我驚醒，卻發現是一場噩夢 No one on my side 無人在我身側 I was fighting 我還在戰鬥 But I just feel too tired 但我卻快精疲力竭 To be fighting 無心應戰了 Guess I'm not the fighting kind 我想我並非爭強好勝之人 Wouldn't mind it 也不會再在意 If you were by my side 你是否還陪在我身邊 But you're long gone 但你早已離去 Yeah you're long gone now 你早已離去 Where do we go? 我們該何去何從？ I don't even know 我甚至認不出來 My strange old face 我陌生蒼老的面龐 And I'm thinking about those days 我還在回想過去的時光 And I'm thinking about those days 我還在回想過去的時光 I wake up,it's a bad dream 我驚醒，卻發現是一場噩夢 No one on my side 無人在我身側
