Daydream
Lupe Fiasco (Ft. Jill Scott) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
I dream a dirty dream of you, baby
You're crawling on the bathroom floor
You float around the room and you're naked
Then you're flying out the bedroom door
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
Daydream
I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
I dream a dirty dream of you, baby
You're swinging from the chandelier
I'm climbing up the walls 'cause I want you
But when I reach you, you disappear
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
I dream a dirty dream
Daydream
I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day
Daydream
I fell asleep amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

I fell asleep amid the flowers
I lost consciousness while surrounded by nature's beauty
For a couple of hours
It was a brief respite from reality
On a beautiful day
The weather was perfect and everything felt right
I dream of you amid the flowers
You are the object of my thoughts and desires in this idyllic setting
I dream a dirty dream of you, baby
I have sexual fantasies about you
You're crawling on the bathroom floor
In my dream, you are in a compromising position
You float around the room and you're naked
You are completely vulnerable and exposed to me
Then you're flying out the bedroom door
Just as quickly as the fantasy began, it ends abruptly
You're swinging from the chandelier
In another dream, you are engaging in wild and uninhibited behavior
I'm climbing up the walls 'cause I want you
My desire for you is so intense that I will do anything to have you
But when I reach you, you disappear
The object of my desire remains out of my grasp

Lupe is one of the greatest ever. This song is going over 99% people's
heads... First half of the 1st verse he's talking about the industry
(the robot) and how he has to keep them happy or they will drop him
since he can't have success without them. In the 2nd part he's talking
about how society is constructed while comparing each section to a body.
At the bottom are prostitutes, crime & police and at the face of
society are the entertainers (him self).
2nd verse is a continuation of the first half of the 1st verse and states what
entertainers are doing to keep the industry (robot) happy (promoting
evil by making drugs, alcohol, guns & sex cool). What entertainers
are showing you is evil (fire) and fake (smoke machines and simulated
rain) but is at the same time done in a way that's not harsh enough to
upset the masses. The sleeping (ignorant) baby (you) is being influenced
by him (the entertainer) and his robot (the industry) as they grow up.
He finishes the verse by saying he turned his back on promoting these
things and draws parallels to television which also influenced (raised)
him & us.
