A Dream
Julian Velard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I had a dream about you
The dream took place inside a zoo
You were openin' cages, settin' animals free
You released every beast, every beast but me

Last night I had a dream about love
It was everything I’d been dreamin' of
It was a fabulous party, lots of balloons
Was everybody, everybody but you

Last night I had a dream about God
And he played piano like Elton John
He was makin' a comeback, he was sellin' out shows
I was the openin' act, you were sittin' in the front row

Don’t get me wrong, I know you’re gone
But in my mind, sometimes the facts are not so clear
In my mind, sometimes I think you’re still here

Last night I had a dream I was dead
Somebody put an arrow through my head
They were goin' for the apple but I guess that they missed
Couldn’t help be reminded of the first time we kissed
Kissed, kissed, yeah, yeah, yeah

Last night I had the strangest dream
And I’m not exactly sure what it means
We were out havin' coffee and I got up to go
When you asked me to stay and my body just froze
I didn’t know what to say, didn’t know what to do

Last night I had a dream, babe
Had a dream about you




I had a dream about you
Had a dream about you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Julian Velard's song "A Dream" appear to be about different dreams the singer had that involve the person they miss. In the first dream, the person is freeing animals in a zoo, but they leave the singer behind. This can represent the feeling of being left out or left behind by the person that is missed. The second dream is about love and how the singer had everything they ever dreamed of in a relationship, except for the person they miss. The third dream is about the person dreaming about God playing the piano like Elton John and them being the opening act, with the person they miss sitting in the front row. This dream may symbolize how the person they miss is always present, even if not physically in their life.


The fourth dream is about the singer being dead and someone putting an arrow through their head. This dream seems to represent how the person feels after losing the one they miss, as if they are not the same person they were before. The fifth dream is about having coffee with the person they miss and attempting to leave, but being asked to stay and feeling confused. This dream may represent the internal struggle of the singer and their conflicting feelings for the person they miss.


Overall, the song appears to be a reflection of the singer's emotions and thoughts about the person they miss. The dreams they have may represent the different stages of their grief and healing process.
