I'm Stalking You
In Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're really coming down on me in my dreams
You're really coming down
You're really coming down on me so it seems
Catch me at the party
Catch me at the opening of the scene
Catch me in the alley
I wanted you to get caught up
I wanted you to get caught up in me
I wanted you to get caught up
I caught you coming, are you gonna set me free?
You're really letting me down
You're really looking at her instead of at me
You're really letting me down
You're really not clueing into the fact that I'm here
Catch me at the party
Catch me at the grocery store on your street
Catch me in the alley
Catch me in your clothes as you're falling asleep
I wanted you to get caught up
I wanted you to get caught up in me
I wanted you to get caught up
I caught you coming are you gonna set me free?
Watching, waiting
I'll hunt you down
Fate has failed me
And I want you now
And I don't want you to see me
When I'm spying on you secretly
I'm so tired and
Lord knows I'm never getting you
Away and away again you go on
And I don't wanna stay home
Waiting, waiting here so long
Why don't you come over
When I lay in bed
I'm sinking further in my head
I'm dead
I don't understand
Away and away again you go on
And I don't wanna stay home
Waiting, waiting here so long
Why don't you come over
When I lay in bed
I'm sinking further in my head
I'm dead
I don't understand
Now come back
Watching, waiting
I'll hunt you down
Fate has failed me
And I want you now
And I don't want you to see me
When I'm spying on you secretly
I'm so tired and
Lord knows I'm never getting
So tired and
Lord knows I'm never getting you
The lyrics of "I'm Stalking You" by In Dreams explore the creepy obsession of a stalker who can't get over their infatuation with someone. The first two lines of the song set the mood, indicating that the person in question is haunting the singer even in their dreams. The stalker wants to convince their victim to be as crazy about them as they are and catch them "in the alley" or "on the edge of a cliff." The stalker feels ignored and that their affections are not reciprocated. They are fixated on their prey, hoping they will be caught in their web.
The chorus of the song implies that the stalker has caught their victim's attention, but they are still not free. Their desire to have the victim be in love with them as they are is so strong that they want to make them theirs. The verses repeat the same message, with the stalker revealing that they are keeping tabs on their victim, hoping they will finally see the light and be with them. However, the prey remains oblivious, and the stalker's desperation grows, leading to them becoming more unhinged.
Overall, "I'm Stalking You" is a chilling depiction of the twisted mind of a stalker. It showcases the obsessive behavior of people who cannot control their obtrusive, aggressive, and unwanted attention towards someone they desire.
