The Dream
Carlsen & Thunder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I got a big surprise
As I was studying the back of my eyes
You were right there in my head
Pole dancing at the end of my bed
I don't know what to do
I had a dirty dream about you

I couldn't see what the fuss was about when
My best friend started checking you out
But now I've seen you in a different light
I'm playing with dynamite
Now all I wanna do is share my dirty dream with you

Imagination, I'd never underrate
But now the seed is sown
It's a little bit late

It's so right now, it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along

I didn't ask to be put in this place
How am I ever gonna look you in the face
When all I want is to see you there
In your high heels and underwear
'Cause all I wanna do is make my dirty dream come true

I bet you're wondering why the sudden change
If you'd seen what I've seen, you wouldn't think it's strange

It's so wrong now, it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might

Dance like you did last night
You know I won't put up a fight
Do it like you did before
I'll turn the music up a little more

Don't you fade away
Stay with me 'til day

Imagination, I'd never underrate
But now I want you need to be going away
Little hesitation, look turn away

It's so right now, it's so wrong
Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along

It's so wrong now, it's so right
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
I don't wanna do it, but I'm thinking that I might

Do it like you did before
I'll turn the music up a little more

It's so right now, it's so wrong
It's so wrong, it's so wrong
Don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it




It's so right now, it's so wrong
Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night

Last night I got a big surprise
Yesterday evening, I experienced a significant unexpected event


As I was studying the back of my eyes
While deep in thought, contemplating my innermost thoughts and emotions


You were right there in my head
You occupied my mind completely


Pole dancing at the end of my bed
Engaging in a provocative dance at the foot of my bed


I don't know what to do
I am uncertain of how to proceed


I had a dirty dream about you
I experienced a sexual fantasy involving you


I couldn't see what the fuss was about when
Initially, I failed to comprehend the excitement surrounding

When my closest companion began showing interest in you


But now I've seen you in a different light
However, now I perceive you in a new way


I'm playing with dynamite
I am engaging in a risky and potentially explosive situation


Now all I wanna do is share my dirty dream with you
My current desire is to openly communicate my explicit dream to you


Imagination, I'd never underrate
I have always held a high regard for the power of imagination


But now the seed is sown
However, now the foundation has been laid


It's a little bit late
It may be slightly belated to address this matter


It's so right now, it's so wrong
It feels both morally incorrect and excitingly right simultaneously


Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
A profound, intense craving is intensifying rapidly


I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along
I sense the captivating rhythm and have a strong inclination to participate


I didn't ask to be put in this place
I did not request to find myself in this predicament


How am I ever gonna look you in the face
How will I manage to confront you directly


When all I want is to see you there
Considering all I desire is to witness your presence


In your high heels and underwear
Adorned in lingerie and elevated footwear


'Cause all I wanna do is make my dirty dream come true
My sole objective is to manifest my explicit dream into reality


I bet you're wondering why the sudden change
I presume you are curious about the abrupt transformation


If you'd seen what I've seen, you wouldn't think it's strange
Had you witnessed what I witnessed, you would not find it peculiar


It's so wrong now, it's so right
Despite feeling morally incorrect, it also feels undeniably correct


Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
An mysterious influence appearing during nighttime


I don't wanna do it but I'm thinking that I might
Although I am reluctant, I am contemplating engaging in the act


Dance like you did last night
Recreate the dance performance from the previous night


You know I won't put up a fight
I assure you, I will not resist or oppose it


Do it like you did before
Perform it in the same manner as you previously did


I'll turn the music up a little more
I will increase the volume of the music slightly


Don't you fade away
Do not disappear or fade from my presence


Stay with me 'til day
Remain by my side until daylight arrives


Little hesitation, look turn away
Despite a slight reluctance, ultimately, turn your gaze elsewhere


It's so right now, it's so wrong
It currently feels both morally incorrect and irresistibly right


Deep, dark desire is coming on strong
A profound, intense longing is overpoweringly emerging


I feel the rhythm and I wanna play along
I sense the captivating rhythm and have a strong desire to join in


It's so wrong now, it's so right
Despite feeling morally incorrect, it also feels undeniably right


Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
An mysterious influence appearing during nighttime


I don't wanna do it, but I'm thinking that I might
Although I am hesitant, I am considering engaging in the act


Do it like you did before
Perform it in the same manner as you previously did


I'll turn the music up a little more
I will increase the volume of the music slightly


It's so right now, it's so wrong
It currently feels both morally incorrect and irresistibly right


It's so wrong, it's so wrong
Although it is morally incorrect, it continues to be so


Don't wanna do it, I don't wanna do it
I do not wish to engage in the act


It's so right now, it's so wrong
It currently feels both morally incorrect and irresistibly right


Some kind of voodoo in the middle of the night
An mysterious influence appearing during nighttime
