Baby Dreamer
Awakening Dreams: Unveiling the Cinematic Emotions in Allison Moorer's 'Baby Dreamer'
Lyrics
There's a foreign movie
Introduction to a foreign movie
Up on your silver screen
Projected on a silver screen
Black and white and silent
Presented in black and white and silence
If you don't count the screams
Screams excluded, implying a disturbing element
From where you are sitting
From the viewer's perspective, everything appears real
It all seems so real
Perceived reality from the viewer's seat
Everyone who's seen it
Shared understanding among those who've watched
Knows the way you feel
Validation of emotions portrayed in the movie
Wake up baby dreamer
Encouragement to awaken from a dream
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Literal call to wipe away sleep
Look behind the curtain
Advises looking beyond the surface
Such a beautiful sunrise
Discovery of a beautiful sunrise behind the scenes
Sometimes a flight of fancy
Imaginary thoughts descending from the clouds
Falls down from the clouds
Reassurance that fanciful ideas are harmless
You don't have to worry
No need to be concerned or anxious
For crying out loud
Expression of dismissal or frustration
Wake up baby dreamer
Reiteration of waking from a dream state
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
Repeated call to clear away sleepiness
Look behind the curtain
Encouragement to explore what lies beyond
Such a beautiful sunrise
Revelation of a stunning sunrise awaiting
