Lyrics
Had a dream you were alive
Expressing a dream where the subject is perceived as alive.
Yes, you had gone
Acknowledging that the person was gone in reality.
But you’d survived
Revealing that, despite being thought gone, the person has survived in the dream.
Wasn’t blinking or a blur
Describing the dream scenario with clarity, indicating no confusion or rapid movement.
Just looked right up and there you were
Visualizing the person by looking up, suggesting a clear and direct presence.
So what if I stayed in a dream?
Contemplating staying within the dream as a means of closeness to the person.
Would it make me closer to you
Pondering whether remaining in the dream would bring emotional proximity.
Or would I just sleep?
Questioning if staying in the dream would merely result in passive sleep.
Because I know if I open my eyes
Acknowledging the potential loss upon opening one's eyes.
I’ll lose you again
Recognizing the risk of losing the perceived closeness by waking up.
If I open my eyes I’ll lose you
Reiterating the fear of losing the connection upon waking up.
I still need your guiding hand
Expressing a continued need for guidance from the person, emphasizing dependence.
To help me be a man
Seeking assistance in becoming a mature and responsible individual.
Help me understand
Requesting understanding from the person to navigate life's complexities.
Take my hand for the first dance
Desiring a connection, symbolized by holding hands for a significant event (first dance).
At least this was my plan
Reflecting on a planned moment of connection, possibly significant or sentimental.
So close
Expressing proximity or emotional closeness to the person.
'Was it all just a feeling?
Pondering if the feelings experienced were genuine or just illusory.
I’ll scream into the canyons
Conveying a desire to communicate intensely, possibly out of frustration or yearning.
So you maybe you can still hear me
Suggesting a hope that the person might still perceive or understand the emotional message.
