Just A Dream
AM60 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm with you, life is too good to be true
Think I found the answer in your smile
Don't go, please stay with me a while.
Is this just a dream
Or is it my reality?
When I wake up from this sleep
I think I saw it all in a teardrop
That left your eye like a raindrop from the sky
I think I felt the music in your heartbeat
It flowed so nice, it filled my life.
Is this just a dream
Or is it my reality?
When I wake up from this sleep
Will you still be lying next to me?
Is this just a dream
Or is it my reality?
When I wake up from this sleep
Will you still be lying next to me?
In "Just a Dream" by AM60, the singer is expressing his feelings about a person he has met in a dream. When he is with this person, he feels as if his life is too good to be true, and he finds the answer to his questions in the person's smile. He is afraid that when he wakes up, he will lose this dream-like state and question if the person will still be with him.
The lyrics suggest a sense of longing for something that may not be real. The singer seems to be questioning the nature of his reality as he struggles to distinguish between his dream and his waking life. The tears in the person's eyes and their heartbeat serve as a reminder of the person's humanity and that they may not be just a figment of his imagination.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a vivid dream or a moment of bliss that feels too good to be true. The song's melancholic melody enhances the feeling of longing and serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
