Bad Dream
Jutes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm too high now I'm
Falling through the trees
Love's a game and you playing it for keeps
Thought I heard you say you didn't love me
(Didn't love me) but maybe I'm just living
In a really bad dream
But I think I might stay
Blind folded, driving on the freeway
Everytime I show up, why you gotta leave?
This is starting to feel like
A really bad dream (Really bad dream)
Yeah in the caddy on the 101
Doin' 90 like I'm on the run
Why you always leave me in the dust yeah
High off you, feeling hella buzzed, yeah
Eyes redder than the lips on your mouth
Why you always got me playing cat and mouse?
Fill my cup when I'm filling up with doubt
Why would I lie?
Told you I would be fucked if you left
Now I'm faded, taking shots to the chest
Saying all the shit that I might regret i
I'm too high now I'm
Falling through the trees
Love's a game and you playing it for keeps
Thought I heard you say you didn't love me
(Didn't love me)
But maybe I'm just living in
A really bad dream i been to hell and back
But I think I might stay
Blind folded, driving on the freeway
Everytime I show up, why you gotta leave?
This is starting to feel like
A really bad dream (Really bad dream)
Heard you say didn't like me
(Didn't like me, didn't like me)
Heard you say you didn't like me
(Didn't like me)
Maybe I'm at the start of a really bad dream
Yeah tired of waking up alone
I might not wake up at all
Living fast, can't take it slow
Got me laying on the floor
Nightly, going blind like high beams
I need Tylenol and Visine
You been out my league like Ivy come find me
I'm too high now I'm
Falling through the trees
Love's a game and you playing it for keeps
Thought I heard you say you didn't love me
(Didn't love me)
But maybe I'm just living in
A really bad dream i been to hell and back
But I think I might stay
Blind folded, driving on the freeway
Everytime I show up, why you gotta leave?
This is starting to feel like
A really bad dream (Really bad dream)
The song “Bad Dream” by Jutes talks about the highs and lows of a relationship, where both partners are not on the same page. The singer is feeling lost and confused, as he is falling through the trees and traveling on the freeway blindfolded. These lyrics may be interpreted as a metaphor of how he is navigating his life without any direction. He is too high and under the influence of drugs, which leads him to believe that the love between him and his partner is just a game and that she is only playing for keeps. Even when she expresses her love, he thinks it’s just a dream and questions the authenticity of her emotions towards him.
The chorus of the song is about the singer dreaming of being with his partner again, but he is too afraid to wake up to the reality of not being loved. He is willing to stay in this bad dream because it’s better than the harsh truth of losing something that he cares about. As the song progresses, he is filled with regret for the things he’s said and promises to be better. The lyrics captures the emotional and mental turmoil of the singer as he struggles to come to terms with the end of a relationship and the consequences of his actions.

Sammee thats how I found it
@TauterEight
@@remijioperez2844 99% of the music I hear advertised on instagram is awfully produced and mixed and engineered but this song checks every box IMO. Sounds like a record label dropped it
