The Dream
Cookies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you out in the garden
A silver light in your eye
You were a woman on fire
And I can’t get dry

I mean, what do you want
Do you know?
In constant hum of your mind
So if this is really goodbye…





When I call your name
Is it the same?

Overall Meaning

In Cookies's song The Dream, the singer describes seeing someone in the garden with a "silver light" in their eye. The person is described as a "woman on fire," which could indicate a passionate and intense personality. The singer also mentions feeling unable to "get dry," suggesting perhaps that they are also feeling overwhelmed by their own emotions or by the intensity of the situation.


The singer then asks the person what they want and notes that their mind is in a "constant hum." This could indicate that the person is in a state of intense thought or worry, or that their thoughts are always buzzing and never still. The singer seems unsure whether this encounter will be a final goodbye, leaving the possibility of more interactions open-ended.


Overall, the lyrics of The Dream are open to interpretation and leave much to the imagination. The singer's thoughts and feelings are hinted at through metaphorical language and poetic phrasing, making the song ripe for multiple readings based on one's individual experiences and perceptions.


Line by Line Meaning

I saw you out in the garden
I caught a glimpse of you standing in the backyard


A silver light in your eye
There was a shine in your eyes that caught my attention


You were a woman on fire
You seemed to be full of passion and energy


And I can’t get dry
Your presence had me feeling overwhelmed and unable to calm down


I mean, what do you want
I'm not sure what it is you're looking for


Do you know?
Perhaps even you don't know what you want


In constant hum of your mind
Your thoughts are never at rest, always in motion


So if this is really goodbye…
If you're really leaving, then I have some things to say


When I call your name
Whenever I mention your name


Is it the same?
Do you still feel the same way about me?
