Everything I Wanted
Dreams and Realities: Embracing What Matters
Lyrics
I had a dream, I got everything I wanted, not what you think
I had a dream, achieving everything I desired, not necessarily in the way others perceive.
And if I'm being honest, it might have been a nightmare, to anyone who might care
Being honest, the dream might have turned into a nightmare, especially for those who care about me.
Thought I could fly, so I stepped off the golden, nobody cried
Believed I could soar, metaphorically stepping off a metaphorical golden platform, but no one noticed or cared.
Nobody even noticed, I saw him standing right there, kinda thought they might care
Even when facing difficulties (symbolized by him standing there), expected empathy but didn't receive it.
I had a dream, I got everything I wanted, but when I wake up I see, you with me
Repetition of the dream, and waking up reveals a connection with someone (you), suggesting a complex emotional reality.
And you say, as long as I'm with you, no one can hurt you
Assurance from 'you' that as long as I'm with you, no one can harm me, indicating a sense of security.
Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to
Uncomfortable in the current situation but acknowledging the potential to learn and grow.
If I could change the way that you see yourself, you wouldn't wonder why you're here
If I could change your self-perception, you wouldn't question your existence.
They don't deserve you
Others don't appreciate or value you.
I tried to scream, but my head was underwater
Feeling overwhelmed and unheard, possibly in a distressing situation.
They call me weak, like I'm not just somebody's daughter
Being criticized and labeled as weak, emphasizing the unfair judgment as someone's daughter.
It could have been a nightmare, but it felt like they were right there
The dream could have been a nightmare, but the presence of others made it feel like a harsh reality.
And it feels like yesterday or was it a year ago
Reflecting on a past event, unsure of the time frame, but the emotional impact persists.
But I don't wanna let anybody know, cause everybody wants something from me now
Reluctant to share the emotional burden because everyone seems to want something from me.
And I don't know that I'm down
Uncertain about one's emotional state, possibly feeling down or depressed.
I had a dream, I got everything I wanted, but when I wake up I see, you with me
Reiteration of the dream and the contrasting reality upon waking up.
And you say, as long as I'm with you, no one can hurt you
Reassurance from 'you' that my safety is guaranteed as long as we are together.
Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to
Uncomfortable in the current situation but acknowledging the potential to learn and grow.
If I could change the way that you see yourself, you wouldn't wonder why you're here
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the importance of changing self-perception for a clearer sense of purpose.
They don't deserve you
Reiteration that others don't appreciate or value me.
If I knew it all in, would I do it again? Would I do it again
Contemplating whether knowing the outcome in advance would influence the choices made.
If they knew what they said, I'd go straight to my head, with this head instead
If others knew the impact of their words, it might affect my mental state.
If I knew it all in, would I do it again? Would I do it again
Reflecting on the past, considering whether the same choices would be made again.
If they knew what they said, I'd go straight to my head, with this head instead
Similar to line 27, emphasizing the potential impact of others' words on one's mental well-being.
If they knew what they said, I'd go straight to my head, with this head instead
Reiteration of the theme, underscoring the vulnerability to the influence of others' words on mental health.
