I'm Not Dreaming of You
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting under my skin
Breakdown
My plane just hit the ground
Downfall
Full tilt against the wall
Of all the things I would ever do
I only regret the fact
I can't go on denying
A part of me is dying
Whenever I'm in you
Is it me is it you
1 can't go on pretending
This is how were ending
I stopped dreaming of you
And the things we mould do
Like a thorn in the side
A distortion of life
No way, can't take another day
Every storm you create
Every feeling I fake
Wake up my truth became a slut
How hard you try no matter what you do
In the end my dear
Your love won't never be enough for two
This is how were ending
I'm not dreaming of you
The lyrics of De/Vision's song "I'm Not Dreaming Of You" is about a painful realization of a failed relationship. The singer is struggling with the fact that even though he wants to move on from the person he loved, he can't escape from the feeling of hurt and betrayal that still lingers. He compares his emotions to a physical feeling, as if something is getting under his skin and breaking him down. The chorus suggests that the singer has finally come to terms with the fact that he can no longer deny that a part of him is dying and he has stopped dreaming about a future with his former lover. He sees his past relationship as a distortion of his life, and the storm created by his former partner is too much for him to handle, as he can't keep pretending that everything's okay.
The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer is in a struggling relationship, which has finally come to an end. He illustrates his feelings of hurt and betrayal in a way that can be felt physically, as if it is crawling under his skin. He is acutely aware of how much the relationship has broken him down, and he is left with regrets about putting his trust in his former partner. The chorus sharpens the pain of the song, as the singer recognizes that he cannot continue to deny that a part of him is dying, and as he has stopped dreaming about his former partner, he knows that the relationship is well and truly over. The lyrics suggest a sense of finality, as the singer acknowledges that his truth has 'become a slut' and his former partner's love will never be enough for the two of them.
