Dirty Dream Number Two
Choices Amidst Dreams: Belle and Sebastian's Reflections
Lyrics
I'm lucky, I can open the door and I can walk down the street
I have the privilege to go out and walk freely.
Unlucky, I've got nowhere to go and so I follow my feet
I lack direction or a specific destination, so I wander aimlessly.
A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain
You are confronted with a decision that involves some discomfort.
A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain
Amidst difficulties, you face a choice while looking through rain, symbolizing unclear circumstances.
A choice is facing you but I choose to refrain for today
There's a decision to be made, but currently, I opt to refrain from making it.
Tomorrow we'll be back in trouble again
Tomorrow, troubles will likely resurface.
Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian
In a dream, you had an enjoyable time with a comedian but didn't take the relationship further.
Stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday
Stopping short of commitment, implying you'll have to face the reality of the situation eventually.
Why is this happening to you, you're not a child?
Why are these challenging situations happening when you're expected to handle them as an adult?
Why is this happening? You have too much on your mind
Overwhelmed by thoughts and responsibilities.
Things creep up on you when you are fast asleep
Problems arise unexpectedly while you're asleep and vulnerable.
You are dreaming, you are sleepy
You're in a dream state, feeling drowsy.
You are stuck to the sheets
Feeling emotionally attached or confined, metaphorically represented by being stuck to sheets.
In a town so small there's no escaping you
In a very small community where it's hard to avoid scrutiny or attention.
In a town so small there's no escape from view
No chance to hide or escape from being observed.
In a town so small there's nothing left to do
With limited options or activities in such a small place.
Intellectual and perspiring
Someone who's intellectual and also sweating, indicating mental strain.
Dirty dream number two
A sexual dream, labeled as "dirty dream number two."
Dream two you couldn't see her face, but you saw everything else
A dream where the person couldn't see a specific face but witnessed other intimate details.
Dream two was pretty special, easily beats loving yourself
Despite not seeing a face, the dream was emotionally impactful and more significant than self-love.
Could you put a name to someone else's sigh?
Can you attribute an identity to someone's sigh, indicating familiarity or recognition?
Could you put a face to someone else's eyes?
Can you associate a face with someone's eyes, implying recognition or identification?
Is it someone that you?d maybe recognize?
Could it be someone you might know or recognize?
But it all fades into morning when you open your eyes
Upon waking up, the dream and its details fade away with the morning light.
