Reality
Nancy Danino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was something special in the air.
Dreams are my reality
The only real kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it's meant to be.
Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it′s only fantasy.
If you do exist, honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it's true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you.
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness has past
And maybe now at last
I′ll see how a real thing can be.
Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that′s my reality.
Met you by surprise, I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that it′s true
Feelings that are cue
I feel something special about you.
Dreams are my reality
A wonderous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy.
Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that′s my reality.
Nancy Danino's song, "Reality" is an ode to the power of imagination and dreams. The opening lines, "Saw you standing there, I didn't know I cared, There was something special in the air" suggests the singer has discovered something special about themselves and the world around them, though it also highlights feelings of uncertainty and surprise.
The chorus of the song repeatedly declares, "Dreams are my reality, The only real kind of real fantasy" and seems to suggest that the world of dreams and imagination is the place where the singer feels most alive and comfortable. The use of the word "reality" in the chorus (and in the song's title) might suggest that the singer feels that their dreams are just as important and valid as the physical world around them.
As the song goes on, the singer expresses a desire to connect with another person who might feel the same way about dreams. The lines, "If you do exist, honey don't resist, Show me a new way of loving" suggest that the singer is looking for someone who will encourage them to explore the world of imagination and dreams rather than trying to discourage them from it.
Overall, "Reality" is a tender and poetic exploration of the importance of dreams and imagination in our lives.
