OK To Dream
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

the cataracts of my heart
bleed into my stomach
still all i can feel
is your breath upon my neck
and shivers in my knees

i wonder if you could hold me
would it be ok to dream again

through the bleeding in my stomach
and the blisters in my mouth
still i can feel
your breath upon my neck
bring shivers to my skin

and i wonder if you could hold me
would it be ok to dream




and i wonder if you could kiss me
would it be ok to dream again

Overall Meaning

In Adam's Song "OK To Dream," the singer expresses emotional pain as he talks about the cataracts of his heart bleeding into his stomach. This metaphorical description emphasizes the emotional pain within him, which is affecting him on a physical level. Despite this, his focus remains on the presence of his lover as he feels her breath upon his neck and experiences shivers that run down his body. He then wonders if it's acceptable to dream of her, whether she could hold or kiss him once again.


The song's tone seems to be that of longing, sadness, and hopefulness all mixed together. The lyrics suggest that the singer is experiencing emotional turmoil, and his longing for his lover is the only thing that keeps him going. Every breath on his neck and skin sends shivers down his body, which are the only things he can feel. The song conveys a sense of ceaseless pain and how love can affect people both physically and emotionally. Ultimately the singer hopes that one day, he can kiss and be held by his lover again and that maybe it is alright to dream of such things.
