Dream of You
Meadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sinking low where there's no grace
A shadow waiting for the sun
I never learned to walk up straight
Twist and turn to find my place
How I wish you were the one
Because I never thought I'd dream of you
I never thought I'd dream of you
Lose a thousand nights of sleep and my mind over you
I never thought I'd dream of you
I never thought I'd fall for you
Not in the wicked twisted way I do
I never thought I'd dream of you
but I do.
You're a sunbeam through a bad dream
I see colors in a short gleam
Happy now but not at ease
Faith and patience will escape me
Time from time I know I'll hate me
But I'll be waiting on my knees
The lyrics of Meadows's song "Dream of You" depict the struggle of the singer to let go of someone who has left a profound impact on his life. The imagery of sinking low where there's no grace and a shadow waiting for the sun is symbolic of the emotional turmoil he is going through, where he feels lost and without direction. He confesses that he never learned to walk up straight, indicating that he was never really sure of himself and struggled to find his place in the world. However, he wishes that the person he's singing about was the one to help him find his way.
The singer then goes on to say that he never thought he'd dream of this person, but he does now. The thought of this person consumes him, and he's losing sleep and his mind over them. He acknowledges that he never thought he'd fall for them in the wicked twisted way he has, emphasizing that there is a darker undertone to his feelings. He sees this person as a sunbeam through a bad dream, providing a moment of clarity amidst the chaos of his emotions. However, he's not at ease, and he knows that both faith and patience will escape him from time to time. Nevertheless, he'll be waiting on his knees, holding onto hope that things will get better, and maybe this person will come back to him someday.
Line by Line Meaning
Water covering my face
Feeling overwhelmed and drowning in emotions
Sinking low where there's no grace
Feeling lost and hopeless without any guidance or help
A shadow waiting for the sun
Waiting for a moment of light or hope to overcome the darkness
I never learned to walk up straight
I have struggled with confidence and direction in life
Twist and turn to find my place
I have faced challenges and obstacles while searching for my purpose in life
How I wish you were the one
I long for the companionship and comfort of someone special
It seems I'll stay inside this dream for now
I am not ready to face reality or move on from this dream
Because I never thought I'd dream of you
I never expected to be so affected by you or have these intense feelings
Lose a thousand nights of sleep and my mind over you
Thinking about you constantly, even to the point of losing sleep or sanity
I never thought I'd fall for you
I never expected to have these romantic feelings or be so vulnerable with you
Not in the wicked twisted way I do
These feelings are complicated and not straightforward
You're a sunbeam through a bad dream
You provide hope and light in an otherwise dark and difficult situation
I see colors in a short gleam
Even the smallest moments of connection with you bring happiness and vibrancy to my life
Happy now but not at ease
I am content in the moment, but still not fully comfortable or secure
Faith and patience will escape me
I struggle to maintain hope and wait for things to improve
Time from time I know I'll hate me
I am aware that I may regret my decisions or actions in the future
But I'll be waiting on my knees
Despite the challenges and uncertainty, I will continue to hope and pray for a positive outcome
