Dream Girl
8percent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone in my room thinking of you again
Babygirl I cannot sit and pretend
That I do not want to be more than friends
Sleeping at night and I'm dreaming of you
I've never seen something more beautiful
Baby you got me all up in a trance
Girl come walk with me, please hold my hand
Holding you kissing while we in the rain
Give me your heart let me heal all your pain
If I got the chance I'd give anything
All of these feelings you never will now
Cause I'm too afraid to go and show
Hold on tight, never let go
In the opening lines of 8percent's song, Dream Girl, the artist seems lost in his thoughts and unsure of what to do. He's alone in his room and cannot stop thinking about the girl he longs for but has not yet confessed his true feelings to. The lyrics in this verse show that he is ready to take their relationship to the next level and wants to move beyond just being friends. As the song progresses, the artist continues to daydream about the girl and admits that he has never seen anyone more beautiful than her. He longs to be with her, walking hand in hand and feeling her close to him.
In the chorus, 8percent contemplates holding his crush close and kissing her passionately, even if it means getting caught in the rain. He's willing to do anything for her, to heal all of her pain and take away any worries she may have. However, the artist is doubtful if his feelings will ever be reciprocated and fears showing them to her.
Overall, Dream Girl is a song about unrequited love and the fear of rejection. It beautifully captures the emotions and desires of someone who wants to be with a person but is too afraid to express their true feelings.
