Dreaming
Unveiling the Echoes of Longing: Leighton Meester's 'Dreaming'
Lyrics
Now here you go again
Addressing someone reentering a situation
You say you want your freedom
Expressing desire for independence
Well who am I to keep you down?
Recognizing their right to freedom
It's only right that you should
Encouraging genuine expression
Play the way you feel it
Encouraging authenticity in actions
But listen carefully to the sound
Advising to heed one's emotions
Of your loneliness
Noticing the feeling of isolation
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
Comparing loneliness to a troubling rhythm
In the stillness of remembering what you had
Reflecting on past experiences
And what you lost
Recognizing losses
And what you had
Recollection of past happiness
And what you lost
Acknowledging past sorrow
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Highlighting turmoil coinciding with difficulty
Players only love you when they're playing
Stating conditional affection
Say women they will come and they will go
Commenting on fleeting relationships
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Signifying clarity after hardship
You'll know
Reinforcing the certainty of understanding
Now here I go again I see the crystal visions
Personal resurgence into a visionary state
I keep my visions to myself
Choosing to keep personal aspirations private
It's only me who wants to
Expressing a desire to support dreams
Wrap around your dreams and
Inviting disclosure of dreams
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Referencing dreams for sale as metaphor
Dreams of loneliness
Associating dreams with isolation
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
Linking loneliness to an unsettling rhythm
In the stillness of remembering what you had
Recollecting past experiences of isolation
And what you lost
Emphasizing recognition of past losses
And what you had
Recalling past happiness
And what you lost
Acknowledging past sorrow
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Reiterating turmoil during hardship
Players only love you when they're playing
Stating conditional affection again
Women they will come and they will go
Commenting on transient relationships once more
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Reinforcing clarity after hardship again
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Repeating the concept of turmoil during hardship
Players only love you when they're playing
Reiterating conditional affection
Say women they will come and they will go
Repeating the notion of fleeting relationships
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
Reinforcing clarity after hardship once more
You'll know
Emphasizing the certainty of understanding again
You will know
Reaffirming forthcoming clarity
Ooh you'll know
Concluding with the assurance of understanding
