walking in the dream world - prison for my mind

Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
What if you were unable to wake from that dream?
How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
("The Matrix", 1999)

my former self

I see you in the dark corner of the street
Coming after me,
Headlights on full-beam
Coming down the fast lane
Coming after me,
I would like to change back now
To the shadow of
The shadow of my former self
It follows me around
(Radiohead, "Follow Me Around")
