Someone Else's Dream
Unveiling Shadows: Love, Sympathy, and the Ghost Within
Lyrics
Look in my eyes
Direct request to look into the speaker's eyes
and tell me I'm the one to
Request for acknowledgment as the beloved, seeking empathy
love, sympathize
Request for compassion while feeling abandoned
and leave me out to dry
Sense of being disregarded or abandoned
And I wonder where you've been
Curiosity about the other person's absence or whereabouts
I could be the one to
Potential willingness to open up emotionally
to slowly let you in
Slowly allowing someone into one's life
and show you everything
Willingness to reveal everything, be vulnerable
Cold memory
Reference to a distant, emotionally cold memory
the soft, pale ghost of me
The faded, subdued version of the speaker
underneath your sheets
Metaphorical presence in the other's intimate space
I'm someone else's dream
Realization of being someone else's ideal or aspiration
Look in my eyes
Repeated request for eye contact, seeking understanding
and show me what's behind
Desire to see beyond a superficial facade
those vacant eyes
Inquiry into the true emotions hidden behind a distant gaze
behind your warm disguise
Recognition of a facade or disguise concealing true feelings
And I wonder what you're thinking
Curiosity about the other's thoughts or mindset
behind that cold demeanor
Observation of a cold, distant behavior or attitude
And I wonder, cause I'm under
Questioning due to being caught between unknowns
all the in between
Feeling lost or uncertain amidst undefined circumstances
Cold memory
Recurrence of a distant, emotionally cold memory
the soft, pale ghost of me
Symbolic representation of the speaker's faded existence
underneath your sheets
Metaphorical presence in the other's intimate space
I'm someone else's dream
Reiteration of being someone else's ideal or aspiration
