Just a Dream
Yearning Fantasies and Unfulfilled Longings: 'Just a Dream' by Planttvibes
Lyrics
I don’t wanna go to bed
The singer doesn't want to go to sleep.
If you’re not with me instead
Expresses the desire for the person they long for to be present instead of going to bed alone.
Dreaming of the way your kisses might feel when they’re on my head
Imagining how it would feel to receive kisses from the person they desire.
I don’t think that this is right
Feeling uncertain about the current situation or relationship.
Let me just indulge tonight
Wanting to immerse themselves in fantasies despite doubts.
In my fantasies
Escaping reality and engaging in imaginative scenarios.
With you
Desiring to be with the person they're fantasizing about.
And I’m staring at my ceiling just waiting and feeling sorry for myself
Feeling trapped and melancholic while lying awake.
But there’s nothing I can do to get away from you in my subconscious
Unable to control thoughts about the person, even in subconscious states.
And I can’t forget the way your soft sweet touches feel upon my chest
Remembering the sensation of the person's gentle touches on the singer's chest.
But was it real at all or just a dream
Questioning the reality of the experiences with the person - whether they were genuine or just a dream.
Just a dream
Reiterating the doubt about the authenticity of the experiences.
You’re with me
Believing that the person is present only within dreams or imagination.
In my dream
Confirming the presence of the desired person specifically within the singer's dreams.
When I escape inside my head
Escaping reality and finding solace within one's thoughts.
There’s no worry fear or dread
Feeling peaceful and free from negative emotions when lost in imagination.
As long as you are with me holding my hand
Desiring the comforting presence of the person, symbolized by holding hands.
In my mind’s eye I can see
Visualizing an idealized romantic relationship or connection in their mind.
We’re sapphic lovers meant to be
Imagining a deep, meaningful connection with the person, possibly indicating same-sex romantic involvement ("sapphic lovers").
But it’s all fleeting because when I wake up you won’t be there
Realizing that the fantasies and happiness derived from them are temporary because the person isn't present upon waking.
And I’m staring at my ceiling just waiting and feeling sorry for myself
Repeating the feeling of being trapped and sorrowful while awake.
But there’s nothing I can do to get away from you in my subconscious
Continuing to struggle with thoughts about the person even in subconscious states.
And I can’t forget the way your soft sweet touches feel upon my chest
Recalling the pleasant sensation of the person's touches on the singer's chest.
But was it real at all or just a dream
Reiterating doubts about the reality of the experiences with the person.
Just a dream
Reiterating uncertainty about the authenticity of the experiences with the person.
You’re with me
Reaffirming the presence of the desired person within dreams or imagination.
In my dream
Confirming the person's presence specifically within the singer's dreams.
