Wishful Thinking
Augustine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only fractions of your voice resting in my mind
I've tried to recreate the sound, I can't get it right

And all those bitter stories about your sister and her lies
The fuck-ups and the failures, something got into your eyes
Your full weight on the pedal, I'm the deer and you're the lights
You sold me everything I thought that I needed to buy
Like galleries of Andy, sell your fraud in good disguise

Your full weight on the pedal, I'm the deer and you're the lights

I was only wearing dreams
A wishful thinking
Now I'm naked in your scheme
As I keep on drinking

In the mountain of your curls trying to get some sleep
But was there something in those words, are you mad at me?

And all those bitter stories about your sister and her lies
The fuck-ups and the failures, something got into your eyes
Your full weight on the pedal, I'm the deer and you're the lights

I was only wearing dreams
A wishful thinking
Now I'm naked in your scheme
As I keep on drinking
I was only wearing dreams
A wishful thinking
Now I'm naked in your scheme
As I keep on drinking
I was only wearing dreams
A wishful thinking

Now I'm naked in your scheme
As I keep on drinking

Line by Line Meaning

Only fractions of your voice resting in my mind
Only small pieces of your voice are memorable to me

I've tried to recreate the sound, I can't get it right
I've attempted to mimic your voice, but can't imitate it accurately

And all those bitter stories about your sister and her lies
The negative tales of your sibling's deceit

The fuck-ups and the failures, something got into your eyes
The mistakes and mishaps caused you to change somehow

Your full weight on the pedal, I'm the deer and you're the lights
You're fully in control, and I'm vulnerable to your actions

You sold me everything I thought that I needed to buy
You convinced me to purchase the things I thought would satisfy me

Like galleries of Andy, sell your fraud in good disguise
Demonstrating art like Andy Warhol, you deceive others without them noticing

I was only wearing dreams, a wishful thinking
I was only chasing my aspirations, without concrete action

Now I'm naked in your scheme, as I keep on drinking
Now I'm exposed and helpless to your plan, as I continue to drink

In the mountain of your curls trying to get some sleep
Amidst the tangle of your hair, I'm struggling to rest

But was there something in those words, are you mad at me?
Your words had an underlying tone, were you angry with me?

I was only wearing dreams, a wishful thinking
I was merely pursuing illusions, without taking action

Now I'm naked in your scheme, as I keep on drinking
Now I'm defenseless in your plot, as I continue to drink

I was only wearing dreams, a wishful thinking
I was relying only on my hopes, without taking action

Now I'm naked in your scheme, as I keep on drinking
Now I'm vulnerable in your plot, as I continue to drink
