Dreaming
Gyllene Tider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The art of make-believe
The treasure behind closed doors
The hunter behind the trees
Radio waves through the air
Can you hear me calling?
Oh I've been dreaming
Dreaming of a woman in white
The sound from the street
The smell of sweet perfume
My breath inside of you
hits an electric room
Radio waves through the air
Can you hear me calling?
Oh I've been dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming of a woman in white
The lyrics of "Dreaming" by Gyllene Tider tell the story of a man lost in his own fantasy world, dreaming of a mysterious woman in white. The hot summer night sets the scene for the man to indulge in the art of make-believe, imagining that he has discovered a treasure behind closed doors and the hunter lurking behind trees. The imagery showcased in the lyrics suggests that the man is living in a dreamlike state, disconnected from reality, and in his own fantasy world.
The song goes on to describe the radio waves through the air, as the man calls out to his dream woman, wanting to connect with her. The sound and smell of the street and sweet perfume, combined with the electric intensity of being so close to each other, all add to the immersive experience of the dream. The last lines of the chorus repeat the man's yearning to dream about this woman in white.
Overall, the song is a love song, but the lyrics focus more on the man's own fantasies and internal experience rather than a concrete relationship with another person. It's a nostalgic and whimsical look at the idea of being lost in one's own imagination.
