Rêverie
Helens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see that this love was meant for me
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without you life will never begin to be
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Make my dream a reality
Come to me in my reverie
Our love is a dream, but in my reverie
I can see that this love was meant for me
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Without you life will never begin to be
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Make my dream a reality
Let's dispense with formality
Come to me in my reverie
The lyrics to Helen's song "Reverie" describe a profound love that exists only in the realm of dreams and fantasies. The singer recognizes that their love is not rooted in reality, but in their reverie, they can imagine that this love was destined for them. However, the cruel reality is that the other person treats them poorly, as only someone who has never experienced the whirlwind of emotions that love brings could be so heartless. The singer acknowledges that their dreams without this person are worthless, unable to bring meaning or fulfillment to their life. They yearn for the other person to love them in the same way, to make their dream a reality, and to abandon any formalities that may hinder their connection. The plea is for the other person to enter their reverie, a space where their love can exist and flourish.
