Meet Me in My Dreams
Chasing Reality in Dreams
Lyrics
Oh you can't go back to your dreams
You cannot return to your dreams once you've left them.
As unfair as it may seem
Even though it feels unjust, returning to dreams isn't possible.
Sometimes you're pulled away
Sometimes, you're forcibly taken away from a wonderful experience.
From an amazing day
Being pulled away from something great.
When the alarm clock calls you to reality
The interruption of dreams by the reality of waking life (symbolized by the alarm clock).
What if you meet me in my dreams
Suggesting a desire for connection in dreams.
Outside it's dark skies, stars and moonbeams
Contrasting the darkness outside with the dream world's beauty (stars and moonbeams).
But when you meet me in my dreams
Desire for the dream meeting to feel authentic.
I want it to be as real as it seems
Wishing for the dream encounter to be genuine upon waking.
And when you wake up it's a new day
Transitioning from dreaming to waking life, implying a fresh start.
Will you go outside and get a chance to play
Opportunity for enjoyment and play in the new day.
Yeah, you have work to do
Recognizing responsibilities and obligations.
And that's part of life, too
Acceptance that work is a part of life.
But keep the fun in mind and you'll be OK
Encouragement to maintain a sense of fun amidst responsibilities.
What if you meet me in my dreams
Reiteration of the desire for a meeting in dreams.
Outside it's dark skies, stars and moonbeams
Continuation of contrasting dream beauty with external darkness.
But when you meet me in my dreams
Continued emphasis on the desire for authenticity in the dream encounter.
I want it to be as real as it seems
Reinforcing the wish for a genuine experience in the dream.
What if you meet me in my dreams
Reiteration of the desire for a dream meeting, skipping the darkness.
I'll skip the dark skies, my moonbeam
Expressing a desire to focus on positive elements in the dream (stardust, skipping darkness).
I'll take the stardust and its schemes
Embracing the imaginative and storytelling aspect of dreams.
As it weaves stories in my dreams
Desire for more sleep and the importance of deep sleep stages (slow-wave sleep).
You know I wanna get more sleep
Expressing a need for additional rest.
Slow-wave comes first, your brain needs to go deep
Highlighting the importance of deep sleep for the brain.
But when you breathe and relax
Encouraging relaxation and calmness to alleviate stress.
Cool and calm, stress will pass
Stress relief through relaxation.
Then dream: imagination mixed with memory
Describing the nature of dreams as a blend of imagination and memory.
What if you meet me in my dreams
Reiteration of the desire for a dream meeting.
Outside it's dark skies, stars and moonbeams
Repeating the contrast between external darkness and dream beauty.
But when you meet me in my dreams
Continued emphasis on the desire for an authentic dream meeting.
I want it to be as real as it seems
Reinforcing the wish for a genuine experience in the dream.
I want it to be as real as it seems
Continued emphasis on authenticity and reality in the dream encounter.
