In Dreams
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you remember when we took the turn to what we've become?
Do you sometimes look over your shoulder, like you heard a voice?
I know I messed up real good when I made that choice
I wish that I kissed you
I kissed you when I could
In dreams it's so easy
In dreams
In dreams
I'm always thinking of you when I'm driving real fast
But I'm not proud to say that I linger in the past
Still it's my secret joy to write my story over
Took me far to long to discover, to discover
I wish that I kissed you
I kissed you when I could
In dreams it's so easy
In dreams it feels so good
In dreams
Everything is like it ought to be
In dreams
Everything is making sense to me
Oh let it go
If you don't have it, you don't have it
Oh let it go
Don't let your dreaming be a habit
Oh let it go
When I messed up I just knew it
Oh let it go
You did the right thing and I blew it
I wish that I kissed you
I kissed you when I could
In dreams it's so easy
In dreams it feels so good
The song "In Dreams" by Marion Raven is about the feeling of regret and missed opportunities in a past relationship. The opening verse asks if the listener remembers certain details and moments in their relationship that they can never recapture. The singer then confesses to lingering in the past and wishing that they had kissed their partner when they had the chance. However, the only way to do so now is in dreams, where everything feels perfect and easy.
The chorus repeats the phrase "in dreams" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that the only way to relive these moments is through imagined, idealized versions of the past. The second verse highlights how the singer always thinks of the person while driving but struggles to move on from their past mistakes. The bridge encourages the listener to let go of the past and their romanticized dreams, even if it means accepting that they made mistakes.
Overall, the song captures the universal themes of regret, nostalgia, and the desire to rewrite the past. The lyrics are heartfelt and relatable, especially for those who have experienced a lost love or missed opportunity.
