Dreamy Eyes
Christina Aguilera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of the night
And I don't know if I've been sleeping
But I hold my pillow tight
Are you real or are you my
Imagination playing games?
I can set you free, you'll always be
My one eternal flame.
Your dreamy eyes,
They just won't say goodbye
Well, it must be my faith
Cause I just can't escape
And the passion never dies...
Oh, dreamy eyes
no matter how I cry
I just can't reach you
Dreamy eyes
You're a vision of tomorrow
And a ghost from yesterday
And I've been trying not to let you
Take my breath away.
You're a summer breeze that comes and goes
But somehow lingers on
tell me how can I forget you
If you've never really gone?
Your dreamy eyes
They just won't say goodbye
well, it must be my faith
'cause I just can't escape
And the passion never dies...
Oh, dreamy eyes
No matter how I cry
I just can't reach you
Dreamy eyes.
What do I have to do
To get that close to you and your...
Your dreamy eyes
They just won't say goodbye
Well, it must be my faith
'cause I just can't escape
And the passion never dies...
Oh, I tried so hard to release you
But no matter how I cry
I just keep seeing through
Dreamy eyes.
The lyrics to Christina Aguilera's song Dreamy Eyes appear to be about someone who is struggling to let go of a past romance. The singer is reaching out to touch someone in the middle of the night, but it is unclear if this person is real or if they are simply a figment of her imagination. She holds her pillow tight, seeking comfort from the unknown. It is clear that this person holds a special place in her heart since they are referred to as her one eternal flame.
The singer also refers to the object of her affection as a ghost from yesterday and a vision of tomorrow. It seems as though this person is both a memory and a hope for the future, and the singer is struggling to reconcile the two. The line "you're a summer breeze that comes and goes, but somehow lingers on" suggests that this person continues to have an impact on the singer's life even though they are no longer together.
The chorus, with its repeated reference to dreamy eyes, further emphasizes the idea that this person is not entirely real to the singer. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot seem to reach them or let go of their memory. Overall, the lyrics seem to explore the difficulty of moving on from a past love.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm reaching out to touch you
I'm trying to connect with you
In the middle of the night
Even when everything seems dark, it's still you that I think of
And I don't know if I've been sleeping
I'm not even sure if I'm dreaming or awake
But I hold my pillow tight
Yet I still cling to the only thing that gives me any sense of comfort and familiarity
Are you real or are you my
I don't know whether you're just a figment of my imagination or if you actually exist
Imagination playing games?
Maybe I'm just creating an illusion in my mind
I can set you free, you'll always be
I might be able to let you go, but you'll remain a prominent part of my life
My one eternal flame.
A passion that will never die out, no matter how hard I try to extinguish it
You're a vision of tomorrow
You represent the future and all it holds for me
And a ghost from yesterday
But you also remind me of all I've lost in the past
And I've been trying not to let you
And so I've been attempting to shy away from you
Take my breath away.
But you still somehow manage to leave me breathless
You're a summer breeze that comes and goes
Your presence is fleeting and unpredictable
But somehow lingers on
But regardless, the memory of you still persists
tell me how can I forget you
I wonder how I could possibly move on from you
If you've never really gone?
Especially when it almost feels like you never really left in the first place
What do I have to do
What steps do I need to take
To get that close to you and your...
To be able to truly capture your attention and focus
Oh, I tried so hard to release you
I made so many attempts to let you go
But no matter how I cry
But no matter how many tears I shed
I just keep seeing through
I still can't help but see and feel
Dreamy eyes.
The impact that your dreamy eyes have had on me.

This is what SHE wanted her debut album to be like. However, her label wanted her to do teen pop.

@DHRGKBQXTJR this makes absolutely NO sense! But go off! I swear people know exactly what you mean on here but, want to debate about something so obvious or in this comment go off subject! lol

@Less Is More Upbeat or ballad has nothing to do with it. I Turn To You is a cover. It was originally sung by an R&B group All 4 One. If you listen to their version, you'll see that it is a very different genre compared to Christina's cover. They did an R&B ballad, Christina did a pop ballad.

@Floris Klaver this is a ballad tho. When ppl think teen pop, they’ll think of “genie in a bottle
Less Is More
@DHRGKBQXTJR it’s a ballad tho.. not upbeat like “come on over”
