Dirty Dreams
Lost in City Lights: The Seductive Secrets of Dirty Dreams
Lyrics
Caught a cold in the street last night
Caught an illness while outside last night
Tryna fill a hole with the city lights
Attempting to fill an emotional void with the bright lights of the city
Girl with the skirt that fits so tight, shes got no time for me
Refers to a girl wearing a tight skirt, indicating a lack of interest or time for the speaker
Who are you when there's no one there?
Questioning one's identity when alone
Dancing through your kitchen with your fingers in your hair
Imagery of carefree moments in a personal space, reflecting on oneself
Never catch you dreaming that I was there, never catch you dreaming at all
Not being able to catch the person daydreaming, suggesting emotional distance
Ooooh I've been asleep
Expressing a realization of being emotionally distant or unaware
Oooooh I've been asleep
Reiterating the theme of emotional detachment or unawareness
I gave you all my time and money
Offering time and financial resources to someone
I gave you all my tricks and schemes
Sharing personal skills and strategies in the context of a relationship
I know well I've lost you honey
Acknowledging the loss of the person, expressing sorrow
But I'll keep you in my dirty dreams
Committing to preserving the person's memory in one's dreams, despite the separation
Woke up in a stranger's house,
Awakening in an unfamiliar place after a night of revelry
In a wet t-shirt on a leather couch
Describing the disheveled state of waking up, possibly after a party
Was asking for water, couldn't get it down
Difficulty in obtaining basic needs, like water, in a strange place
Was asking for you, I couldn't make a sound
Expressing a desire for the absent person, but unable to vocalize it
There's been a pretty girl a time or two
Recalling encounters with attractive individuals who deceived with their appearance
Who told a pretty lie but looked a pretty truth
Acknowledging deception that was both attractive and truthful
Hold to my pride til I'm long in the tooth, to keep myself from coming back to you
Holding onto pride to avoid returning to the person
