Just A Dream
Yearning Dreams: Bella Goldwin's Poignant Reflection on Life's Weight
Lyrics
Why can't it be just a dream
Expressing a desire for a situation to be a mere dream, suggesting discontent or hardship.
Sucks the life right out of me
Describing a situation that drains energy or vitality, possibly causing distress.
Got me begging on my knees
Conveying a sense of desperation, as if pleading for relief or a change in circumstances.
Why can't it be just a dream
Reiterating the wish for the challenging situation to be a fictional experience.
I'd be flying and so free
Imagining a state of freedom and happiness that contrasts with the current difficulties.
If it all were up to me
Expressing a desire for control over one's circumstances and the ability to shape one's reality.
My mama raised me to hold my head up high within the crowd
Recalling maternal guidance to maintain confidence in social settings.
But then I got older and I started to carry a frown
Reflecting on the challenges of adulthood, marked by a shift in demeanor from positive to negative.
The world would grow so heavy on my conscience that I'd mentally drown
Describing the burden of the world affecting mental well-being, leading to a feeling of drowning.
The people in my life they didn't listen when they saw I was down
Highlighting a lack of support or understanding from those close when experiencing emotional distress.
Why can't it be just a dream
Repeating the desire for the difficult situation to be a mere product of the imagination.
Sucks the life right out of me
Reemphasizing the draining nature of the situation on the individual's life force.
Got me begging on my knees
Expressing the intensity of emotional distress, leading to a state of supplication.
Why can't it be just a dream
Reiterating the yearning for the challenging experience to be unreal.
I'd be flying and so free
Imagining a state of freedom and joy that contrasts with the current struggles.
If it all were up to me
Expressing a wish for personal agency in shaping one's circumstances and reality.
Why can't it be just a dream
Restating the desire for the difficult situation to be a mere figment of the imagination.
I'd close my eyes at night to see the life that I desire
Conveying a practice of envisioning a desired life during sleep, emphasizing the dream-like quality.
When I wake up I try to recreate what I saw
Describing the attempt to bring elements of the desired dream into reality upon waking.
The world would grow so heavy on my conscience that I'd mentally drown
Repeating the theme of the world's weight impacting mental well-being and causing distress.
The people in my life they didn't listen when they saw I was down
Highlighting the lack of understanding or support from others during times of emotional struggle.
Why can't it be just a dream
Reiterating the desire for the challenging situation to be a fictional construct.
Sucks the life right out of me
Emphasizing the draining impact of the situation on the individual's life force.
Got me begging on my knees
Expressing a heightened sense of desperation, possibly intensifying the plea for relief.
Why can't it be just a dream
Reiterating the wish for the challenging experience to be a product of imagination.
I'd be flying and so free
Imagining a state of liberation and happiness that contrasts with the current challenges.
If it all were up to me
Expressing a desire for personal agency in determining one's fate and reality.
Why can't it be just a dream
