Dunum may refer to:
Dunum was a Latinized nameplace in ancient Ireland and the name of at least two recorded settlements there, one in the far north, one in the far south. The southerly settlement is attributed in ancient print as the original site or namesake of Rathdrum in County Wicklow. The northerly is attributed to the settlement of Downpatrick in County Down, which the Irish called Dunedh, and also Rath-keltar or Rath-Keltair, because it was the castle of Keltair, son of Duach – Rath- meaning castle – and was quoted as that in the Will of Saint Patrick.
As a word, Dunum is very similar to words for fortifications and measurements, and sometimes used as a suffix or prefix in placenames to note the presence of fortification. It was a word for hill with ancient Gauls, Britons, and Saxons. It is also a latinization of the word "dun", separately evolved on the continent, but to the same meaning – a fortification or a hill – in several languages, particularly Gothic. As such, variations of this placename are one of the most commonly recurring naming group for places in Ireland and an identifiable feature in placenames both in Britain and throughout much of Europe. It is similar in meaning to the Old English dün meaning "down", "hill" or "mountain" and used in such English place names as Ashdown, Bredon and Snowdon.
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
Will you ever have to justify
The hidden meaning in your time again, hey
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone, hey
In an ordinary complication, I come to my realization, how come?
Well, you came to me with velvet skin
How come I did let you in? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Because I'm gone
Still it breaks me down inside as I walk through the fire
But I am a stronger man
Nothing will change me at all, you lie
In a dream I had a final vision
How come you just want to be my friend? How come?
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
Now can you hear my voice? Tonight I'm gone
I'm gone, gone just like the past because I'm gone
And you won't be the last 'cause I'll be strong
