(Haha)
Let's go
I've been looking around
(Yeah)
c memory of misery
But I try to mask it
(Yeah)
But I can't hide it
When it's all over me
When it's plastered all on your feed
I can't see straight
I can't be okay
I just wanna hold you one last time
One last time
Last night I saw you in my dreams
I can't stand the look you give me
I don't know how to express my feelings
My feelings
(Yeah)
Last night I saw you in my dreams
I can't piece the words I wanna say right
I don't know how to speak at night
ct night
You told me I was never enough for you
But I don't believe that
I don't believe that
cnd I been feeling fucked up
Needa love some
Tryna but my heart stuck
On your body
Soaking all this drink up
Cause your nonsense
Lookin for a rebound
Need some options
(yeah)
You ain't finna tell me what I feel tonight
Take patrón to the head it got me feeling right
Bitch i'm better than him cause he just bark I bite
Seen you with him I beat him how I feel inside
(I can't see straight)
I know I'm drowning
(I can't be okay)
I know I'm drowning
(I just wanna hold you one last time)
You out my mind
(One last time)
Last night I saw you in my dreams
I fucked up I'm crying till I bleed I
When you left I really had a hard time breathing
No breathing
(Yeah)
Last night I saw you in my dreams
I can't piece the words I wanna say right
I don't know how to speak at night
clive
Lie to me one more time
I can take it I can try
Don't be okay
Don't pity me
(Yeah)
The lyrics of Jacob Harris's song "A Dream Within A Dream" delve into themes of heartbreak, self-reflection, and longing for a lost love. The song opens with a sense of introspection as the singer reflects on the mirror image of themselves, haunted by memories of past misery that they try to hide but find impossible to escape. The repetition of "When it's plastered all on your feed" suggests a feeling of being constantly reminded of their pain, perhaps through social media or other forms of external validation.
The chorus reveals the depth of the singer's longing to hold onto their lost love one last time, expressing a profound sense of yearning and nostalgia. The dream motif is introduced as the singer recounts seeing their ex-partner in their dreams, unable to fully express their emotions or find closure. The inability to articulate their feelings is a recurring theme throughout the song, emphasizing a struggle to communicate and make sense of their emotions.
The second verse delves into a darker, more conflicted emotional state, with the singer feeling "fucked up" and desperate for love, yet also acknowledging their own emotional turmoil and confusion. The imagery of being "stuck on your body" and seeking a rebound highlights the intensity of their emotions and the destructive pattern of seeking solace in temporary distractions. The juxtaposition of vulnerability and aggression in lines like "Bitch I'm better than him cause he just bark I bite" showcases a complex mix of hurt and defiance.
The song ends with a plea for honesty and acceptance, as the singer implores their ex-lover to lie to them one more time and expresses a desire to try to make things work. The repeated refrain of "Don't pity me" suggests a desire for genuine connection and understanding, despite the pain and struggles that both parties are experiencing. Overall, "A Dream Within A Dream" paints a poignant portrait of heartbreak, longing, and the complexities of human emotions in the face of lost love.

I've been looking around
Reflecting on my surroundings
And all I see is a mirror of me
Seeing myself in everything
A memory of misery
Remembering past pain
But I try to mask it
Attempting to hide it
But I can't hide it
Unable to conceal it
When it's all over me
When it overwhelms me
When it's plastered all on your feed
When it's displayed for all to see
I can't see straight
Feeling disoriented
I can't be okay
Unable to be fine
I just wanna hold you one last time
Craving a final embrace
Last night I saw you in my dreams
Recalling a dream from the night before
I can't stand the look you give me
Disliking your gaze
I don't know how to express my feelings
Struggling to communicate emotions
My feelings
My emotional state
You told me I was never enough for you
You claimed I wasn't sufficient
But I don't believe that
Rejecting that notion
And I been feeling fucked up
Experiencing emotional turmoil
Needa love some
Desiring affection
Trying but my heart stuck
Attempting to move on but struggling
On your body
Fixating on you
Soaking all this drink up
Numbing the pain with alcohol
Cause your nonsense
Because of your behavior
Looking for a rebound
Seeking a distraction
Need some options
Searching for alternatives
You ain't finna tell me what I feel tonight
Refusing to be dictated by you
Take patron to the head it got me feeling right
Drinking tequila to numb the pain
B**** I'm better than him cause he just bark I bite
Claiming superiority over someone else
Seen you with him I beat him how I feel inside
Feeling competitive when I see you with him
(I can't see straight)
Struggling with vision
(I can't be okay)
Unable to be fine
(I just wanna hold you one last time)
Longing for a final embrace
I know I'm drowning
Aware of my emotional struggle
You out my mind
You're on my thoughts
Last night I saw you in my dreams
Revisiting a dream from last night
I fucked up I'm crying till I bleed I
Regretting past mistakes
When you left I really had a hard time breathing
Struggling to cope after you departed
No breathing
A metaphor for emotional suffocation
Lie to me one more time
Deceive me again
I can take it I can try
Willing to endure the lie
Don't be okay
Don't pretend everything is fine
Don't pity me
Don't show sympathy towards me
