Lyrics
Well this dream, this dream could be the death of me
Expressing concern that a dream could have detrimental consequences.
Struggle in these sheets, oh I feel I can't breathe
Feeling suffocated or constrained, possibly in a relationship, reflected in struggles within bed sheets.
This smoke, it fills my head
Referencing the influence of something unclear or deceptive, like smoke, on the person.
I'm spun over a thread
Suggesting vulnerability, feeling precarious or fragile.
Sideways stuck into your stare, but I'm filled with dread
Describing a discomforting feeling, being stuck and filled with dread.
Well I'm sure it's not what you meant to say, but you said it anyway
Acknowledging spoken words that may have unintended negative consequences.
The sweet subtlety of your perfume
Noting the subtlety of a person's scent but emphasizing its fleeting nature.
But it escapes the room, it escapes the room
Highlighting the transient quality of a pleasant experience, possibly love.
And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through
Expressing a fear of losing the ability to hear someone's genuine emotions.
And I'm already falling in love
Acknowledging the onset of falling in love.
With the shape of you, with the shape of you
Falling in love with the physical form or essence of the person.
And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through
Reiterating the fear of losing the connection with the person's emotions.
And I'm already falling in love
Reiterating the acknowledgment of falling in love.
With the shape of you, with the shape of you
Reiterating falling in love with the person's essence or appearance.
Oh, this dream could be the death of me
Revisiting the concern that the dream may have negative consequences.
(In my worst dreams I paid a cost)
Suggesting a cost or sacrifice in the worst dreams.
As I struggle to see what's left of me
Struggling to understand or find oneself after a challenging experience.
(Sweet subtlest prisoner)
Describing someone as subtly holding power or control.
These colors you left, all over the bed
Referring to remnants of a person's impact on the speaker, possibly emotions or memories.
They turn me in my grave
Metaphorically depicting a significant impact or change caused by the person.
And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through
Reiterating the fear of losing the ability to perceive the person's emotions.
And I'm already falling in love
Reiterating the acknowledgment of falling in love.
With the shape of you, with the shape of you
Reiterating falling in love with the person's essence or appearance.
And I'm never gonna hear your tones bleed through
Reiterating the fear of losing the connection with the person's emotions.
And I'm already falling in love
Reiterating the acknowledgment of falling in love.
With the shape of you, with the shape of you
Reiterating falling in love with the person's essence or appearance.
