Dreams
Longing for Recognition: Unrequited Yearning in 'Dreams' by Caroline & Claude
Lyrics
Whatcha think of trying to change things back?
Questioning the attempt to revert things to how they were previously.
Moving on is something that you lack.
Pointing out a difficulty in moving forward or letting go.
I know you're dumb it's stupid that you're ghosting my ass.
Expressing frustration at the person's silence and avoidance.
Out of all my friends I really thought we would last.
Belief in a lasting connection with the person, despite the current situation.
I wish you saw me in your dreams,
Desire for the person to notice and acknowledge the singer, even if in dreams.
Maybe then you'd want to speak to me.
Hoping that being seen in dreams might prompt communication from the person.
Manifestations they never work,
Expressing disillusionment with the idea of making things happen through thoughts alone.
It's like i'm on the outside again.
Feeling excluded or isolated from a situation or relationship.
Maybe it's all my fault.
Suspecting personal responsibility or blame for the current circumstances.
I know i'm a fool for thinking you'd change.
Admitting to a hopeful but foolish belief in the person's potential change.
I'm always moving forward and you stay the same.
Noting personal growth while observing stagnancy in the other person.
I know i'm dumb it's stupid that you're stuck in my head.
Feeling bothered by the person's constant presence in thoughts despite frustration.
Out of all my friends I kind of wish you were dead.
Expressing a strong negative feeling towards the person despite the emotional attachment.
I wish you saw me in your dreams,
Reiterating the wish for acknowledgment by the person, even in dreams.
maybe then you'd want to speak to me.
Expressing hope that being noticed in dreams might prompt communication.
Manifestations they never work,
Repeating disillusionment with the effectiveness of manifesting desires.
It's like i'm on the outside again.
Feeling of being on the outside or excluded from a situation or connection.
Maybe it's all my fault.
Suspecting personal accountability or fault in the situation.
