She Dreams In Red
Dreams Painted Red: A Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Seasons change now you're away
Expressing the change in seasons paralleling the absence of someone.
Look at me, sounding so cliché
Acknowledging the cliché nature of the speaker's expression.
But what else can I say
Conveying a sense of helplessness in finding other words to express the situation.
I keep all of the photos
Keeping and cherishing memories through photographs.
And take all the abuse
Tolerating mistreatment or criticism.
It's pathetic but I can't bear to lose
Admitting a sense of pathetic attachment, unable to let go.
Was it all in my head, that's what you said
Questioning the reality of past experiences, possibly implying doubts about a relationship.
I cried in the shower, I've been misled
Revealing vulnerability and emotional distress, feeling deceived.
What's there instead, I'm better off dead
Expressing a desire for an end to the emotional pain, perhaps metaphorically contemplating death.
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red
Describing the subject's dreams with vivid color, emphasizing emotional intensity.
Please don't lie it passed you by
Requesting honesty about the passing of time and the speaker's need for companionship.
That I might need you here, by my side
Expressing a longing for the presence and support of the person addressed.
There's no reason to try
Rejecting the idea of trying to salvage the relationship, indicating resignation.
I still listen to our song
Still holding onto the shared memories through a specific song.
As I curse at the moon
Expressing frustration or discontent while observing the moon.
And I'm broken, 'cause I forgot the tune
Feeling emotionally shattered because the tune, possibly symbolizing the relationship, is forgotten.
Was it all in my head, that's what you said
Repeating the uncertainty about the reality of past experiences.
I cried in the shower, I've been misled
Reiterating emotional distress and the feeling of being misled.
What's there instead, I'm better off dead
Reiterating a desire for an end to emotional pain or a difficult situation.
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red
Reemphasizing the intensity of the subject's dreams with the color red.
Did I do something wrong, God it's been far too long
Pondering potential mistakes and the prolonged absence of the person.
If I could take it back, I would in a second love
Expressing regret and a hypothetical desire to undo past actions.
When I walk down the street, where we used to meet
Reflecting on places that hold memories of the past encounters.
'Cause it's like you're still waiting for me
Suggesting a lingering presence or expectation of the person in familiar locations.
Was it all in my head, that's what you said
Recalling doubts and uncertainties about the past.
I cried in the shower, I've been mislead
Reiterating emotional distress and a feeling of being misled.
What's there instead, I'm better off dead
Repeating a desire for an end to emotional pain or a difficult situation.
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red
Reemphasizing the intensity of the subject's dreams with the color red.
What's there instead, I'm better off dead
Repeating a desire for an end to emotional pain or a difficult situation.
She dreams in colour, she dreams in red
Reemphasizing the intensity of the subject's dreams with the color red.
