She Dreams
Yearning Dreams: A Woman's Silent Symphony of Love
Lyrics
Thirty years today she's been upon this earth
Reflecting on 30 years of life.
And she can't help but wonder what it's all been worth
Contemplating the value and purpose of her life.
She swears she loves those kids and she doesn't mind that load
Expressing love for her children and accepting the responsibilities.
But there ain't much conversation with a three-year-old
Feeling a lack of meaningful conversation with her young child.
She's trapped inside these walls
Feeling confined within the walls of her suburban home.
A prisoner in this fine suburban home...so
Describing her home as a beautiful prison.
She dreams she dreams
Introduction to her dreams as an escape.
He'll come home from work and carry her away
Yearning for her partner to take her away from the routine.
And he'll see she needs
Highlighting her unmet emotional needs.
The man she's still in love with when she dreams
Desiring the attention of the man she loves in her dreams.
And he's proud of his work and the ladder that he's climbed
Acknowledging her partner's success and pride in his career.
But from that high-rise office he can't hear her cry
Emphasizing the emotional distance caused by his demanding job.
Ringing telephones and decisions to be made
Highlighting the challenges and responsibilities he faces at work.
Even when he gets home he's so far away
Expressing the continued emotional distance even at home.
Then he drifts off to sleep
Illustrating the partner's detachment as he falls asleep.
And she enters her world of make believe
Escaping to a world of imagination and fantasy.
She dreams she dreams
Reiteration of her dreams as a form of escape.
He'll come home from work and carry her away
Yearning for her partner to bring her into a better reality.
And he'll see she needs
Stressing her need for emotional connection and understanding.
The man she's still in love with when she dreams
Desiring the presence of the man she loves in her dreams.
