Dreams
Derek Lyrics

I just picture you
The singer imagines a person in their mind.

In my scene
The person is pictured within a certain scenario.

If you know just what I mean
The singer hopes the listener understands the intention behind their thoughts.

Action camera flashing through you like a dream
The person is envisioned as the subject in a movie or video.

Watch it all come together like a seam
The envisioned production flows together seamlessly.

Read the script
Before acting, one must have a plan.

And play it out
Execute the plan.

Show the people what you're really all about
Demonstrate authentic qualities to the audience.

Picture you in a flick
Imagine the person is a movie star.

Show them who you are
Reveal one's true self to others.

And if you keep the work one day man you could be a star
With persistence, somebody can achieve success.

We could all be good if it just all go down to plan
Success is achievable if the right steps are taken.

Keep on working til the day that I become the man
Keep putting in effort until one reaches their desired level of achievement.

Stranger greetings everywhere cause everyone know who I am
Fame brings recognition from others.

Who I am, who I am, who am I
The singer questions their own identity.

I don't know
The artist doesn't have a clear sense of self.

Change my style more than I'm changing my clothes
The artist changes frequently in order to find their identity.

I just wanna be the chosen one
The singer wants to be singled out for greatness.

I just wanna go
The singer wants to leave their troubles behind.

Do it all today and then tomorrow let it rewind
Execute goals today and reflect on them tomorrow.

I feel the future like it's the present though
The artist is optimistic and feels potential success is close.

Weight up on my shoulders
The pressure to succeed is a burden.

Still don't feel none of the pressure though
The singer is determined and unphased by the weight on their shoulders.

No pressing no
There is no pressure weighing the artist down.

I treat this all like it's precious so
The singer values their work and takes care with it.

So I'm keeping it loose while tightly grabbing hold of my decibels
The singer is flexible with their approach but precise in their execution.

Man I want it all like I'm broke
The singer desires unattainable wealth and success.

Like a man with nothing but hope
The artist feels the weight of an uncertain future but remains optimistic.

Like I've been thrown over the boat
The artist feels like they've been thrown into an unpredictable situation.

And I'm clinging onto the rope
The singer is holding on for dear life within the situation.

Them other kids are a joke
Other people's efforts and ambitions feel inferior to the singer.

Say they want it all but they don't
Others claim to have ambitions but don't follow through with action.

Claim they doing it but they won't
People often over-promise and under-deliver.

Man I got news for em'
The artist is ready to reveal the truth.

Guess I'll have to do it for em'
The singer will have to take charge and succeed where others haven't.

I share my secrets with you
The artist is confiding in someone they trust.

I don't need a reason
The singer doesn't need justification for their actions.

All the things that we'd do
The singer and their confidant have plans together.

They're always out of sequence
Their plans are turbulent and unorganized.

It don't really matter what we say next
Their plans aren't consistent and can change direction at any moment.

As long as it feels right
The artist and their confidant operate based on their intuition and feelings.

Oh it feels right
The singer's instincts are guiding them towards their goals.

I know it's time
The singer is ready for progress.

I want it right now
The artist is eager and impatient for their endeavors to come to fruition.
