Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Davie Bowie taught us how to skateboard but he
Was shaped like Gumby
And I had a dream, we took a helicopter
Flew it up too high
Got stuck in the clouds, don't wanna come down
And I had a dream, we went on a safari
I said look at that lion
And I had a dream that you were dying
But I wasn't even crying
I just sang you to sleep, I sang you to sleep
But what does it mean?
What does it all mean?
I had a dream
But what did it mean, what did it mean?
And I had a dream we robbed the record store
The one with the yellow door
We stole every goddamn record they had
And I had a dream that I didn't give a fuck
But I give a fuck
I miss you so bad, I think I might die
But what does it mean
What does it all mean?
I had a dream
But what did it mean, what does it mean, I just wanna scream
What does it mean, what does it mean, I just wanna scream
I just wanna scream, I just wanna scream
What does it mean?
What does it mean, what does it mean, I had a dream
But what does it mean, what does it mean, I had a dream
But what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it all mean?
And I had a dream, we were being chased by a monster
Or maybe they were aliens
But I wasn't scared cause you were there
And I had a dream, we took karate
That's when you said you loved me
You loved me
But what does it mean?
What does it all mean, what does it mean?
What does it all mean?
Fuck, yeah
The lyrics of "Twinkle Song" by Miley Cyrus/Musicfire.in are quite surreal and dreamlike. The first verse describes a dream where David Bowie teaches them how to skateboard but he is shaped like Gumby, a character from a children's TV show. They then get stuck in a helicopter in the clouds and go on a safari where they compare a lion to a queen. In the second verse, they dream of robbing a record store and not caring about anything, but actually, they miss someone so much that they think they might die.
The chorus repeats the question "What does it mean?" over and over again, emphasizing the confusion and lack of understanding that often accompanies dreams. They also express a desire to scream, perhaps highlighting the frustration of not being able to make sense of their dreams. The final verse describes being chased by a monster or aliens but feeling safe because the person they love is with them. They also mention taking karate and expressing their love for each other.
Overall, the song seems to be about the confusion and emotional intensity of dreams, as well as the power of love to make us feel safe and secure even in frightening situations.

I legit never heard any of her songs besides the party in the USA song ,but I was curious about this one because of all the TikTok shit so I checked it's out. No joke she has range. Still not my cup of tea and the lyrics are fever dream shit,but shes definitely talented. Idk why people use it so negatively it's actually really creative and unique in a good way.

The screaming in this song is the best part of it , it shows her raw emotion, something she has never been afraid to show , and that is why I respect her so much, girl has so much talent

@hounddog127 nah they're not. They're, soon as they say cut. They stop crying and do i again and again and again. Every scene in a movie is done more than ten times. Different angles and performed differently. Adele cries probably because its part of the act. She performs the same song maybe 40 times a month. Stop being naive. Sure when they write it im sure they feel it. But not after 100 performances.

@Kevin McCusker adele still cries when she performs “someone like you”. Just because you have a hard time feeling emotions doesn’t mean it doesn’t come easy for other people. My mom cries at everything because she has a big heart. Also actors aren’t acting their emotions. They are actually feeling them and feel like the scene is real.

@Kevin McCusker are you kidding? I cry every time I watch a certain movie, does that mean my emotions aren’t raw? Lol same with singing an emotional song that means a lot to you. She performed this song a handful of times. When wrecking ball came out she said she couldn’t sing it without crying and she cried the first few times. After not performing for a few years she cried singing it again in 2019 and 2020 after her divorce. Don’t tell someone their emotions aren’t real
