American Dream
Chasing Carnelian Dreams: Unveiling Desires in June Swoon's Melody
Lyrics
How do you afford what you hate to want
Contemplating the cost of desires that one dislikes but still wants.
The advertisements read my mind
Suggesting that advertisements seem to understand and reflect personal thoughts.
What I like
Questioning if others perceive what the speaker appreciates.
Do they see
Wondering if others notice the intimacy between the speaker and someone else.
Us in bed
Describing a shared moment in bed with someone.
My view of the top of your head
Depicting a specific view, perhaps a vulnerable or intimate moment.
I’d like to treat you on a company card
Expressing a desire to indulge someone using a company's resources.
Champagne and baseball games,
Associating luxury experiences like champagne and baseball with the desired person.
I’d buy you your own star
Expressing a willingness to provide extravagant gifts, like naming a star.
You make me feel like I’ve never liked anyone
Highlighting the unique and intense feelings experienced in the presence of the person.
Not to sound untoward
Acknowledging a potential inappropriate undertone in expressing admiration.
But your eyes look like carnelian
Complimenting the person's eyes, possibly comparing them to carnelian gemstones.
When you see something you like
Noting the captivating expression when the person sees something they like.
And you deserve, yeah, you deserve,
Acknowledging the person's worthiness and deserving nature.
You deserve it all
Reiterating the idea that the person deserves all the good things in life.
Everyone, everyone, everyone, gather round
Calling everyone to gather around, possibly to share a revelation or celebrate.
I’ve found, you can buy happiness
Suggesting that happiness can be purchased for others, not just oneself.
If you’re not buying for yourself
Emphasizing the altruistic aspect of buying happiness for others.
Everyone, everyone, everyone, let’s make a toast
Proposing a toast to acknowledge and celebrate financial challenges.
To all those fees and overdrafts
Toasting to financial struggles, fees, overdrafts, and mysterious credit scores.
And mysterious credit scores
Rejecting the idea that financial issues apply to the speaker and the desired person.
They’re not for us
Expressing a desire to share luxuries, like driving in a company car.
I’d like to drive you in a company car, babe
Suggesting a desire for a shared experience involving red eyes and apple pie.
Redeyes and apple pie, I’ll buy you whatever you want
Reiterating a commitment to providing whatever the person desires.
You make me feel like I’ve never liked anyone
Repeating the intense and unique feelings experienced in the presence of the person.
You make me feel like I’ve never liked anyone
-You make me feel like I’ve never liked anyone
-You make me feel like I’ve never liked anyone
-You make me feel
-I guess I’ve never liked anyone
Reflecting on the speaker's realization that they've never felt this way about anyone before.
