Wildest Dreams
Mat Sinner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But lightning might strike twice
It could change your life overnight
Into the fire, out of the dark
You're like the gasoline and she's the spark
Just how long can one heart act tough
When her lovin' expires
It might cut you to the heart
Now you're standing in her line of fire
In her wildest dreams
She gets everything her heart desires
Easier as it seems, wildest dreams
Some dark edge of the heart
Told you words that tore your world apart
Silouhettes fading into the past
So put your money on the same plane
Scratch 'I love you' in her windowpane
A Romeo in the Juliet train
Have you heard she broke a hundred hearts
When her lovin' expires
You're number one, oh, one
You're stranded on the lonely shoreline
Tossed upon the sand
As she makes and breaks her promises
You'll never understand her wildest dreams
The lyrics to Mat Sinner's song "Wildest Dreams" are about the dangers of taking risks in love. The singer advises against being too safe or complacent in relationships because one never knows when one might find oneself in love. The song tells the story of a man who falls deeply in love with a woman who may not feel the same way about him. He warns that love, like lightning, can strike twice, and that falling in love can change someone's life in an instant.
As the song progresses, the singer compares his love to gasoline and the woman's love to a spark that sets him on fire. He asks how long someone can tough it out in love, and how easy it is to fall in love but harder to let go. He hints at the dark side of love when he talks about "words that tore your world apart" and "silhouettes fading into the past." Despite the risks, the singer is still drawn to his lover and finds it hard to let go of his wildest dreams.
