Overjoyed
Building Castles of Love: Unveiling the Hidden Dreams in 'Overjoyed'
Lyrics
Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Building a metaphorical structure of love over time.
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
Creating this love for a person unaware of their significance.
I've gone much too far for you now to say
Reached a point where abandoning this love is difficult.
That I've got to throw my castle away
Feeling compelled to discard the built love due to circumstances.
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Fantasizing about a perfect outcome related to the person.
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
Person unaware they're the subject of dreams.
The sandman has come from too far away
Time has passed; circumstances have changed.
For you to say come back some other day
It's too late for the person to be involved now.
And though you don't believe that they do
Others' disbelief in dreams coming true.
They do come true
Contradicting the disbelief, dreams can come true.
For did my dreams
Personal experience of dreams coming true.
Come true when I looked at you
Specifically linked dreams coming true to seeing the person.
And maybe too, if you would believe
Suggesting that if the person believes, their dreams might also materialize.
You too might be
Implying the person could experience overwhelming joy if they believed.
Overjoyed, over love, over me
Expressing immense happiness and love towards the person.
Over heart, I have painfully turned every stone
Struggling emotionally, exploring every possibility for love.
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
Realization that what was sought has been found, but can't be attained.
I've come much too far for me now to find
Too late to obtain the sought-after love.
The love that I sought can never be mine
The love desired is unattainable.
And though you don't believe that they do
Reiterating the disbelief in dreams coming true.
They do come true
Challenging the disbelief with personal experience.
For did my dreams
Reflecting on personal dreams realized upon seeing the person.
Come true when I looked at you
Linking dreams coming true directly to the person.
And maybe too, if you would believe
Encouraging the person to believe for their dreams to come true.
You too might be
Implies the person could experience overwhelming joy if they believed.
Overjoyed, over love, over me
Expressing overwhelming joy and love towards the person.
And though the odds say improbable
Highlighting the unlikely nature of the situation.
What do they know
Questioning the credibility of odds in matters of the heart.
For in romance
Love only requires an opportunity to thrive.
All true love needs is a chance
Emphasizing that true love needs a chance to flourish.
And maybe with a chance you will find
Hopeful that given a chance, the person might experience similar joy.
You too like I
Suggesting the person might also experience overwhelming joy.
Overjoyed, over love, over you
Expressing overwhelming joy and love towards the person.
Over you
Reiterating the overwhelming feelings towards the person.
