you're not real
Dreaming Together: Embracing Love in 'You're Not Real' by eatfrommydinner
Lyrics
Today
Expressing the present moment
I close
Symbolizing the act of shutting something
My eyes
Referring to the physical action of closing one's eyes
And see
Implies a vision or mental imagery
Today's just you and me
Emphasizing a shared experience between the speaker and someone else
Please don't
Pleading for the continuation of the dream or moment
Wake up
Request not to awaken from the dream
Don't leave
Desire for the other person not to depart
Today you're just a dream
Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of the dream, addressing the person as if part of the dream
Just me
Highlighting the singular presence of the speaker
And you
Reiterating the connection between the speaker and the other person
Don't leave
Requesting the person not to leave, suggesting a desire for continued companionship
I love your company
Expressing affection and enjoyment of being with the other person
Please don't
Repetition of the plea to maintain the dreamlike state
Wake up
Reiterating the plea not to wake up
Hold me
Request for physical closeness in the dream
Today you're just a dream
Reaffirming the dreamlike quality of the moment
Today you're just a dream
Repetition for emphasis on the transient nature of the dream
Today
Reiterating the present moment
I close
Repeating the act of closing one's eyes
My eyes
Reiteration of the physical action of closing eyes, possibly for emphasis
And see
Emphasizing the shared experience once again
Today's just you and me
Continuing the plea for the dream to persist
Please don't
Repeated request for the dream not to end
Wake up
Request for the other person not to awaken
Don't leave
Desire for the person to stay within the dream
Today you're just a dream
Emphasis on the dreamlike nature of the current state
Just me
Reiterating the solitary presence of the speaker
And you
Repetition of the connection between the speaker and the other person
Don't leave
Request for the person not to depart, emphasizing love for their presence
I love your company
Expressing affection and enjoyment of the companionship
Please don't
Repetition of the plea for the dream to continue
Wake up
Reiteration of the request not to wake up
Hold me
Request for physical closeness within the dream
Today you're just a dream
Confirmation of the dreamlike nature of the moment
Today you're just a dream
Final repetition emphasizing the transient quality of the dream
