New Dream
Unveiling the Quest for Love: Veronica Stanton's 'New Dream'
Lyrics
I thought I knew what I wanted when I was a girl
I had a clear idea of what I wanted when I was younger.
Grow up and get married, have babies and give them the world
Expected to grow up, marry, have children, and provide them with a good life.
Maybe I just thought that that was what I was supposed to want
Questioning whether my desires were genuine or influenced by societal expectations.
Or maybe I'm just saying that cause I aint go no one
Suggesting uncertainty because I currently don't have a romantic partner.
I know I'm still young
Acknowledging that I am still in my youth.
With time to get old
Recognizing that there is time ahead to age.
I'm just wondering if love's ever gonna unfold
Wondering if love will ever happen for me.
But it doesn't hurt
Love doesn't cause the expected pain.
The way that it should
Expressing a lack of emotional impact from love.
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
Aware that my dreams may not be fulfilled.
No it doesn't sting
Love doesn't hurt as intensely as anticipated.
Like I thought it would
Surprised that the emotional sting of love is milder.
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
Concerned that my prayers or desires may be misunderstood or unanswered.
Hard as it may seem
Despite challenges, accepting the need for a new dream.
It's time for a new dream
Embracing the idea of pursuing a new dream.
A new dream
Reiterating the call for a new dream.
I thought that finding someone would be simple enough
Assumed that finding a romantic partner should be straightforward.
Plenty of people have done it
Observing that many people have successfully found love.
It can't be too tough
Believing that it shouldn't be too difficult for me as well.
Maybe I don't really know what it is that I want
Doubting my understanding of what I truly desire.
Or maybe I'm just scared as hell
Admitting fear and putting up a facade to hide it.
So I put up a front
Indicating a lack of clarity in my own desires.
I know I'm still young
Acknowledging that I'm still young and have time.
With time to get old
Casting doubt on whether love will unfold for me.
I'm just starting to doubt that love is gonna unfold
Expressing emotional pain as love seems elusive.
And it's starting to hurt
The emotional impact of love is becoming more pronounced.
The way that it should
Realizing that my dreams may not have a positive outcome.
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
Feeling the emotional hurt as dreams might not materialize.
Oh and it stings
The emotional sting of love is more intense than expected.
Like I thought it would
Confirming the anticipated emotional pain of unfulfilled prayers or desires.
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
Concerned that my prayers or desires may be misunderstood or unanswered.
I want someone who needs me
Expressing the desire for a romantic partner who genuinely needs me.
I don't want a new dream
Rejecting the idea of pursuing a new dream.
Oh and it hurts
Experiencing the emotional pain as love doesn't meet expectations.
The way that it should
Acknowledging the potential failure of my dreams.
Knowing my dreams might come to no good
Feeling the emotional hurt as dreams might not materialize.
Oh and it stings
The emotional sting of love is more intense than expected.
Like I thought it would
Confirming the anticipated emotional pain of unfulfilled prayers or desires.
Knowing my prayers might have been misunderstood
Concerned that my prayers or desires may be misunderstood or unanswered.
I want someone to need me
Expressing the desire for a romantic partner who genuinely needs me.
I don't want a new dream
Rejecting the idea of pursuing a new dream.
New dream
Reiterating the rejection of a new dream.
