Pretty Things
Dreaming of Love: Unveiling the Hidden Emotions in 'Pretty Things'
Lyrics
Baby I ain’t done you right
Baby, I haven’t treated you well
And I know it, yeah I know it
Acknowledging awareness of mistreatment
But you and I, we still fire
Despite issues, our connection is still intense
And you know it, yeah you know it
Mutual recognition of the strong bond
You got your guards up
Your defenses are up
You got your reasons
You have valid reasons for protection
Cuz lately I been changing like the seasons
Personal transformation is occurring
I know you’re scared
Acknowledging partner's fear
Scared you might get scarred
Fear of emotional wounds
But what if we just
Suggesting escapism from reality
Escape what’s real and
Invitation to experience the forbidden
Feel the things we are afraid to feel and
Explore suppressed emotions
Release ourselves from the fear of getting hurt
Freeing oneself from fear of pain
Won’t you come lay down with me
Inviting intimacy
Let’s fall asleep
Suggesting a shared escape through sleep
And dream of all the pretty things we could be
Imagining positive possibilities
Escape reality
Advocating detachment from reality
And just fall asleep
Reiterating the call to sleep
And dream of all the pretty things we could be
Reimagining positive scenarios
Pretty things
Emphasizing the allure of beautiful things
Pretty, pretty things, yeah
Repetition of the appeal for pretty things
I know that I (Know that I)
Acknowledging past mistakes
Been messin’ with your mind
Admitting to toying with partner's emotions
Forgive me (Forgive me)
Seeking forgiveness
Please forgive me (Forgive me)
Repetition of the plea for forgiveness
Guess I was blind
Realization of past ignorance
Too damn blind to see you’re all I need yeah (All I need yeah)
Recognition of partner's importance
All I need yeah (All I need yeah)
Reiteration of partner's significance
You got your guards up
Reiteration of defensive stance
And you got your reasons
Reaffirming valid reasons for protection
Cuz lately I been changing like the seasons
Continued personal transformation
I know you’re scared
Acknowledging partner's fear
Scared I’ll break your heart
Fear of heartbreak
But what if we just
Suggesting escapism from reality
Escape what’s real and
Invitation to explore suppressed emotions
Feel the things we are afraid to feel and
Encouraging feeling the forbidden
Release ourselves from the fear of doing wrong
Freeing oneself from fear of wrongdoing
Won’t you come lay down with me
Reiterating the invitation to intimacy
Let’s fall asleep
Suggesting shared sleep and vulnerability
And dream of all the pretty things we could be
Imagining positive possibilities
Escape reality
Advocating detachment from reality
Just fall asleep
Reiterating the call to sleep
And dream of all the pretty things we could be
Reimagining positive scenarios
Pretty things
Emphasizing the allure of beautiful things
Pretty, pretty things, yeah
Repetition of the appeal for pretty things
Oh
Expressing emotion, perhaps a sigh or reflection
Ah-ah-ah (Ah-ah-ah)
Repetition of vocalization, adding emotional depth
Ah-ah-ah
Continuation of emotional expression
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Extended emotional expression, possibly fading
