Moby(모비) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Babe
Dream about me
Lie
On the phone to me

Tell me no truth
If it hurts bad
There's enough in my life

To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives
Just dream about
Some one else tonight

Babe
Oh, dream about me
On the phone
You're talking quietly

I want to be yours
I want you be mine
A, red skives
For long time

So dream about us
When you're alone
Just dream about
How I will let go

Hand
Hand

Babe

Oh, dream about me
Lie
On the phone to me

Tell me no truth
If it hurts bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives
Just dream about
Some one else tonight

Just dream about
Colour fills our song
Just dream about
How I will let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moby's "Dream About Me" paint a picture of a lover dreaming about the singer, seeking solace from their sorrow-filled reality. The singer implores their lover to dream about them, to lie on the phone to them and not to tell any truths that would hurt them. The idea posited in the lyrics is that the real world has enough negativity to cause pain, so dreaming of a world filled with color and happiness can offer an escape. The singer longs to be with their lover and for them to belong together for a long time, but tells them to dream about them when they are alone and how they will eventually let go.

The lyrics capture the essence of the human need for escapism, especially when confronted with difficult circumstances. By suggesting that the real world is miserable enough, the lyrics encourage listeners to seek refuge in their dreams, where there is hope for a better tomorrow. The lyrics also imply a sense of self-awareness, as the singer offers an alternative to confronting the reality of their situation.

GREAT SONG - Allow me to add the lyrics:
"Dream About Me"

Babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie... on the phone to me
Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives
Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Babe
Oh, dream about me
On the phone
Talking quietly
I wanna be yours
Oh, won't you be mine
Against red skies
For all time

So dream about... us
When we're old
Just dream about
How I will let go

Hand...

Hand...

And babe
Oh, dream about me
Lie, on the phone to me
Tell me no truth
If it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

Just dream about
Color fills our lives

Just dream about
Someone else tonight

Just dream about
Color fills our song

Just dream about
How I will let go

Every damn time, this song reaches the most sensitive fiber in my soul and makes me cry softly. In certain way, it is comforting and that is why I find myself coming back to this song. In its own way this song and its video is a masterpiece. Thanks for reading, I hope you all are doing fine today. And if not, the sun will rise tomorrow and it will be a new day.

Lo más triste del video es que al final las naves son un montón, lo que significa a que de cada una de ellas habrá un gato que sufrirá lo mismo que el protagonista... y para rematar esos acordes finales con la escena del gato viendo el cielo te acaban de destrozar el corazón 💔

This song is now less depressing than it was two or three years ago. I watch it again and see so many space ships coming to rescue the kitten. At first I despaired over his hard luck and human cruelty, but watching this again years later, I see how many beings are fighting for the purpose of saving all life on Earth.

Same. Couldn't stop the second time. Yet recommended this video for years and instantly loved Moby, who I have seen in person at animal rights protests and L.A. vegan restaurants. Today I see all the space ships though. I see the kitten victorious in the tree and the multitude of space ships coming to save him. It's weird how your perspective changes after years of being vegan. I think being vegan makes you stronger, Being a meat eater or a vegetarian makes you depressed about what you're doing, even sometimes to new vegans. After years you develop a sense of purpose, a sense of optimism - like hey, we can save them.

Most people really underestimate how tough life is for animals on the streets. Especially with cats the lazy assumption is made that they are natural super predators and can find plenty of food anywhere. But a concrete, hectic and dirty city is not loaded with wandering prey animals, and even when there are, the cat population will soon increase to levels where the food supply becomes too small anyway. They also often die from thirst or cold, they get run over by cars, get wounded or stuck in garbage trying to find food, or get hurt by other strays or callous humans. You can go and become a volunteer for your animal shelter to help neuter strays and we can petition the government to subsidize animal welfare programs more.

this song is heartbreaking for me every time because first time I heard it, it was a year ago by Vet where I was waiting with my lil dogie named Riki to know what type of cancer she has and this song was just playing... I was crying a lot... she died ten days after and every time I remeber her I watch this video and Dream about her, love you Riki and miss you so much
