Baby
Dreams Unveiled: Serj Tankian's Poetic Odyssey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
You came to me within a dream
You appeared to me in a dream.
Not everyone is who they seem
Not everyone presents their true self.
All these words we cant redeem
We cannot recover or make amends for all the spoken words.
Like the great magic of our world
Refers to the profound mysteries of the world.
Corroborated by your words
Supported or verified by your words.
Splitting planets into thirds
Metaphorically dividing planets into thirds.
Baby, oh, baby
Expressing affection and longing for someone dearly missed.
Baby, my baby
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you, la-la-la-la
-Baby, oh, baby
-Baby, my babe
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you
-To all the leaves that fall in vain
Mentions the futile fall of leaves while higher powers seem to lose sanity.
While god and goddess go insane
Gods and goddesses experiencing madness.
All these words in your domain
Highlighting the significance of words within a certain realm.
The watches kill time as the books read
Time passes with watches ticking as knowledge accumulates from reading.
Inadvertently we bleed
Unintentionally causing harm or suffering.
Fighting for what we deceive
Fighting for things that are deceptive or misleading.
Baby, oh, baby
Reiterating the longing and affection expressed in earlier lines.
Baby, my baby
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you, la-la-la-la
-Baby, oh, baby
-Baby, my babe
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you
-Leave me alone
Yearning for solitude, a plea to be left alone.
Leave me alone
-Now, why can't you see that you always perturb me
Expressing frustration with persistent disturbance, possibly linked to a world nearing its end.
So nearing the end of the world
-Just leave me alone
-Leave me alone
-Why, cant you see that you always perturb me
-So nearing the end of the world
-Leave me alone
Repeating the plea for solitude.
Leave me alone
-Baby, oh, baby
Final expression of missing and longing for the person, echoing sentiments from earlier in the song.
Baby, my baby
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you, la-la-la-la
-Baby, oh, baby
-Baby, my babe
-Baby, ooh, babe
-I miss you, ooh
