Just A Dream
David S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a boy just standing there
(He's just a dream)
The way he talks, the way he stares
(He's just a dream)

Illusions fill my eyes
It's such a floating feeling
When will I realize
My heart is only dreaming

When I laid eyes on you, you were walking through
(Park avenue)
I know I must have been, on a cloud again
(It's all pretend)

I'll have to learn someday
These dreams must fadeaway

But I saw a boy with golden hair
(He's just a dream)
You can't just find that anywhere
(He's just a dream)

Illusions fill my eyes
It's such a floating feeling
When will I realize
My heart is only dreaming

I know the things I've seen, you must believe
(It's all a dream)
Look now, he's sitting there, so debonair
(He's everywhere)

He's walking right this way
My dream won't fadeaway

I saw a boy, I felt his hand
(He's just a dream)
I know he's real, please understand
(He's just a dream)

Illusions fill my eyes
It's such a floating feeling
When will I realize
My heart is only dreaming





(Only dreaming)

Overall Meaning

In David S's song "Just a Dream", the lyrics describe a dream-like experience where the singer sees a boy who appears to be just a figment of her imagination. The song highlights the idea that sometimes, what we see or experience may just be our mind playing tricks on us. The singer's heart is filled with the excitement of seeing this boy with golden hair, yet she is aware that she is only dreaming. The dreams create an illusion that fills her eyes, but she is yet to realize that the heart is just dreaming.


The song also touches on the anxiety of disappearing dreams. The singer realizes that dreams fade away, yet it is hard to let go of them. The boy in the dream appears several times, and it seems like she cannot escape him. She sees him walking towards her and even feels his hand. Despite acknowledging that it is just a dream, the singer is still hopeful that the dream won't fade away.


Overall, the song "Just a Dream" explores the thin line between reality and imagination. Sometimes, what we see can be a product of our dreams, and it's hard to differentiate between the two. The song speaks to anyone who has ever had a dream that felt real, yet they couldn't hold onto it.

Just a Dream
/
Lirik
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
Travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize
It was only just a dream
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in a basement
Number one spot, now you find you a replacement
I swear now that I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby
Now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See your pretty face, run my fingers through your hair
My lover, my life
My baby, my wife
You left me, I'm tied
'Cause I know that it just ain't right
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize
It was only just a dream
Another riding, I swear see your face at every turn
I'm trying to get my Usher on, but I can't let it burn
And I just hope you know that you're the only one I yearn for
No wonder I'll be missing when I learn
Didn't give you all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club, thinking all about you baby
Hey, you were so easy to love
But wait I guess our love wasn't enough
Going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm wishing that you'd pick up the phone
But you made a decision that you wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize
It was only just a dream
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
Ooh, if you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they're gone and you're wishing you could give them everything
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes (open my eyes)
It was only just a dream (it's just a dream)
So I travel back (I travel back)
Down that road (down that road)
Will you come back? (Will you come back?)
No one knows (no one knows)
I realize (I realize)
It was only just a dream (dream, no, no, oh, whoa)
I was thinking about you
Thinking about me
Thinking about us
What we gonna be
Open my eyes (open my eyes)
It was only just a dream (it's just a, no, it just a dream)
So I travel back, down that road
Will you come back?
No one knows
I realize (I realize)
It was only just a dream
Baby, it was only just, it was only just a dream
No, oh
It was only just a dream
