Wide Awake
Captivated Dreams: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Paul Douglas' 'Wide Awake'
Lyrics
Even though, you've touched my hand
Expressing astonishment or disbelief despite physical contact.
I can't believe you are real
Questioning the reality of the person's existence.
I can't believe the things I feel
Acknowledging intense and unexpected emotions.
Heavy are your lips on mine
Describing the weightiness of a kiss.
Don't let them leave, leave no more
Urging the partner not to depart, emphasizing emotional need.
Because I need them now, for sure
Expressing an immediate and definite need for the partner's lips.
I need them now, for sure
Reiteration of the urgent emotional need for the partner.
Wide awake in a dream I'm looking at you
Being fully alert within a dream, observing the partner.
Wide awake in a dream, the sound of music begins with the magic you do
Associating the magic of the partner with the onset of music in the dream.
Could it be I've lost my mind
Raising the possibility of losing sanity due to intense emotions.
How could I need, need you so, honey
Expressing astonishment at the overwhelming need for the partner.
Because I need, need you so
Reaffirming the strong emotional dependence on the partner.
Wide awake in a dream
Reiteration of being fully awake within the dream.
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Emphasizing wakefulness and alertness in the dream state.
I'm wide awake in a dream
Reaffirmation of being wide awake within the dream.
Heavy are your lips on mine
Repeating the description of the weightiness of the partner's kiss.
Don't let them leave, leave no more
Reiterating the plea for the partner not to leave.
Because I need them now, for sure
Reaffirming the immediate and definite need for the partner's lips.
I'm wide awake in a dream
Confirming wakefulness in the ongoing dream scenario.
Wide awake, I'm in a dream
Repeating the state of being wide awake within the dream.
I'm wide awake in a dream
Affirmation of being wide awake within the dream, possibly concluding the narrative.
