Julie's Dream
Birth Control Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things looked sharp, more bright
Than on colour TV
Just escape from everyday life
(From the real life)
Did she have this dream
Or was in fact this dream having her?
Maybe there's no deeper meaning
(To her dream, to this dream)
Did she tell the truth
Or just act in as role
Combination of illusions
(Which decieved her)
Just a cheap b-movie in her mind
Oh little Julie had a dream
She's a juggling girl
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was all dressed in black
Oh little Julie had a dream
She felt free as the wind
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was dancing alone
Told me on the phone
Feelings breaking out in visions
Signals sent to her from a hidden ego
Did this dream reflect her wishes
(Unfulfilled needs)
Prove the longing for a better life
Oh little Julie had a dream
She's a juggling girl
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was all dressed in black
Oh little Julie had a dream
She felt free as the wind
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was dancing alone
Told me on the phone
Oh little Julie had a dream
She's a juggling girl
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was all dressed in black
Oh little Julie had a dream
She felt free as the wind
Oh little Julie had a dream
She was dancing alone
Told me on the phone
