Wishful Thinking
D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These thoughts up in my head
Come haunt me, wishing I was dead
Can't talk up to all my friends
Don't wanna give them any stress
I wish this is the end
And In the end I start again
Can't tell if I be cursed or blessed
With wishful thinking then
I believe I can Fly
But I never thought that I gotta sacrifice
My wings for embracing the high of lifes
Now I just wanna put a halo inside
My reach to a ring world in my mind
Cuz I just wanna own my Masters, Chief
Life's Spartan, it's Greek to me
Imma keep Roman like Italy
Falling so far from the tree
All my buds point and say "It'll leave,"
Probably hiding facades I keep
Dropping so they're not stopping me
So Art thou entertained I preach
From behind the mask, my coffin's on the scene
With the Way that I Cruise I don't think I'll see
How my hundred round Toms help me leap
To the Top and Gun for the green
These thoughts up in my head
Come haunt me, wishing I was dead
Can't talk up to all my friends
Don't wanna give them any stress
I wish this is the end
And In the end I start again
Can't tell if I be cursed or blessed
With wishful thinking then
Don't you tell me things'll get better
When you never had to go make a million bets and
Could only ever fold up after getting success
Looking at the black and white it came up red
I don't wanna hear about your guilt trips thems
Never took off y'all be too plain I guess
Landing in a place where opportunity lesser
Winging everyday never helped me settle
But this is a dream, isn't it?
And I'm waking up inside my visions
My memories getting so vivid
That Sometimes I wish that I didn't live in it
But this is a dream, isn't it?
And I'm waking up inside my visions
My memories getting so vivid
That Sometimes I wish that I didn't live in it
But this is a dream, isn't it?
And I'm waking up inside my visions
My memories getting so vivid
That Sometimes I wish that I didn't live in it
But this is a dream, isn't it?
And I'm waking up inside my visions
My memories getting so vivid
That Sometimes I wish that I didn't live in it
These thoughts up in my head
Come haunt me, wishing I was dead
Can't talk up to all my friends
Don't wanna give them any stress
I wish this is the end
And In the end I start again
Can't tell if I be cursed or blessed
With wishful thinking then
These thoughts up in my head
Come haunt me, wishing I was dead
Can't talk up to all my friends
Don't wanna give them any stress
I wish this is the end
And In the end I start again




Can't tell if I be cursed or blessed
With wishful thinking then

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D's song "Wishful Thinking" delve into the artist's inner thoughts and struggles with mental health. The opening lines convey a sense of desperation and sadness, as the thoughts in their head haunt them and they express a wish to no longer be alive. They feel unable to share their feelings with friends, fearing that it would burden them with stress. The repetition of the phrase "I wish this is the end" suggests a heavy longing for an escape from their pain.


The next verse introduces the concept of wishful thinking and the artist's belief in their ability to "fly." However, they acknowledge that achieving success requires sacrificing something significant, symbolized by sacrificing their wings. The desire to put a halo inside their reach portrays a yearning for purity and peace within their own mind. The references to mythology, such as Life's Spartan and keep Roman like Italy, further emphasize the struggle and determination to overcome obstacles.


As the song continues, the artist expresses their frustration with people who offer empty reassurances about things getting better. The line "could only ever fold up after getting success" implies that their success may have come at a cost, and they feel misunderstood by those who haven't experienced the same trials. The use of black and white coming up red suggests that despite hoping for positive outcomes, negative experiences often prevail.


The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the persistence of the artist's haunting thoughts and their uncertainty about whether they are cursed or blessed with wishful thinking. The closing lines reflect a longing to escape from their vivid, overwhelming memories and a desire to wake up from the dream-like state they feel trapped in. The internal struggle and longing for release pervade the entire song, showcasing the artist's emotional turmoil and their complex relationship with their own thoughts and experiences.

My reach to a ring world in my mind
To push myself towards an idealized fantasy world

Life's Spartan, it's Greek to me
Life is challenging and incomprehensible to me

Falling so far from the tree
I have deviated greatly from my upbringing


All my buds point and say 'It'll leave,'
My friends suggest that my pursuit will ultimately fail


Probably hiding facades I keep
I am likely concealing the false personas I maintain


Dropping so they're not stopping me
I continue to progress despite their attempts to hinder me


So Art thou entertained I preach
So, are you entertained by what I have to say?


From behind the mask, my coffin's on the scene
While hiding behind a facade, I am present and active


With the Way that I Cruise I don't think I'll see
Given my current lifestyle, I doubt I will ever understand


How my hundred round Toms help me leap
How my relentless determination allows me to progress


To the Top and Gun for the green
To strive for success and pursue financial wealth


Don't you tell me things'll get better
Don't try to convince me that things will improve


When you never had to go make a million bets and
Because you never had to take as many risks and face as many challenges


Could only ever fold up after getting success
You only experienced defeat after achieving success


Looking at the black and white it came up red
Reflecting on the outcomes, they turned out to be negative


I don't wanna hear about your guilt trips thems
I don't want to listen to your attempts to burden me with guilt


Never took off y'all be too plain I guess
You never achieved great success, maybe because you lacked uniqueness


Landing in a place where opportunity lesser
Ending up in a situation where there are fewer opportunities


Winging everyday never helped me settle
Being spontaneous and taking risks every day didn't bring me peace


But this is a dream, isn't it?
But maybe this is all just a dream, right?


And I'm waking up inside my visions
I find myself experiencing my visions as reality


My memories getting so vivid
My memories are becoming exceedingly clear and detailed


That Sometimes I wish that I didn't live in it
To the point that sometimes I wish I didn't have to live in them
