Patchouli
Muzz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my sleep
In my dreams, baby, it's
In all my dreams

Me and my baby been struggling
Feels like nothing can keep me straight
She says "don't leave me" hurts, but angel, stay put
Stay here with me
Is this ever deadly?
She said, "wait and see"

Lover, wait and see
Ain't my maybe
Ain't my change
Ain't my
Ain't my stain

Since then my brain stem's all contagious
Fold honesty, she said, "is this ever deadly?"
I said, "wait and see"

Lover, wait and see





And I made it so your light burns
In my dreams

The artist then questions himself, wondering if this feeling is deadly, to which his partner responds that he should wait and see.

He finishes the song with a declaration that he wants his partner's light to burn in his dreams, indicating that he truly loves her and wants to make things work.
