Dreams of the Everyday Housewife
Dreams Unveiled: Journey of the Everyday Heart
Lyrics
She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles
Contemplating aging and the changes reflected in the mirror.
That weren't there yesterday
Expressing surprise at the sudden appearance of wrinkles.
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
Reflecting on a past love and the possibility of judgment.
What would he think if he saw her this way?
Wondering how her former lover would perceive her current state.
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
Symbolically adopting a childlike demeanor with her apron.
As something comes into her mind
Recalling memories as she begins to dance.
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
Nostalgically remembering her youth and the admirers she had.
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Thinking about the boys who once pursued her.
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Describing the common aspirations of ordinary housewives.
You see everywhere any time of the day
Highlighting the universality of such dreams throughout the day.
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Acknowledging a sacrifice made by an everyday housewife for her partner.
The photograph album she takes from the closet
Turning to a photo album as a source of memories.
And slowly turns the page
Slowly flipping through the pages, recalling the past.
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
Tenderly handling a flower, a gift from her past love.
The first one he gave her now withered with age
Noting the aging of the once-vibrant flower.
She closes her eyes and
Immersing herself in memories, momentarily escaping reality.
Touches the house dress that suddenly disappears
Feeling the fabric of her everyday house dress.
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
Imagining herself in the gown from a significant moment in the past.
That broke all their minds back so many years
Recalling a dress that had a profound impact on their relationship.
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Reiterating the commonality of dreams among everyday housewives.
You see everywhere any time of the day
Emphasizing the widespread nature of these dreams at any time.
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Repeating the theme of sacrifice by the everyday housewife.
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Reaffirming the prevalence of these dreams in everyday life.
You see everywhere any time of the day
Stressing the ubiquity of such aspirations throughout the day.
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Echoing the sacrifice made by the everyday housewife.
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Repeating the theme of common dreams shared by housewives.
You see everywhere any time of the day
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of these dreams at any time.
