Dreams
Unveiling the Echoes of Heartache: Jann Arden's 'Dreams' Revealed
Lyrics
Now here you go again
Addressing someone who is returning or reconsidering a situation.
You say you want your freedom
Acknowledging the desire for freedom expressed by the other person.
Well who am I to keep you down
Accepting the decision and not trying to hinder the other person.
It's only right that you should
Recognizing that it's natural for the person to express themselves freely.
Play the way you feel it
Encouraging the person to follow their emotions and instincts.
But listen carefully to the sound
Advising to pay attention to the emotional undertones of their actions.
Of your loneliness
Highlighting the feeling of isolation or emptiness.
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
Comparing loneliness to a maddening heartbeat in the silence of memories.
In the stillness of remembering what you had
Reflecting on the impact of remembering past relationships.
And what you lost
Acknowledging both the gains and losses in the past.
And what you had
Repeating the recognition of what was once possessed.
And what you lost
Reiterating the acknowledgment of what has been lost.
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Stating that significant events or changes occur during difficult times.
Players only love you when they're playing
Expressing skepticism about love, implying it may be conditional.
Say women they will come and they will go
Observing the transient nature of romantic relationships.
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Suggesting that clarity comes after facing challenges.
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
Shifting the focus back to the speaker's experiences and visions.
I keep my visions to myself
Preferring to keep personal visions private.
It's only me
Emphasizing individuality and personal desires.
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Expressing a desire to be part of the other person's dreams.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Asking if the person has dreams they are willing to share or sell.
Dreams of loneliness
Recalling the loneliness associated with dreams.
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
Comparing loneliness to a maddening heartbeat once again.
In the stillness of remembering what you had
Reflecting on the impact of remembering past dreams and losses.
And what you lost
Reiterating both the recollection of gains and losses.
What you had
Repeating the acknowledgment of what was once possessed.
And what you lost
Reiterating the acknowledgment of what has been lost.
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Echoing the earlier sentiment that significant events happen during challenges.
Players only love you when they're playing
Reiterating skepticism about the sincerity of love in certain situations.
Say women they will come and they will go
Highlighting the transient nature of relationships, especially for women.
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Suggesting that clarity comes after enduring difficulties.
