Dreaming
O.M.I.T.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing
In a room full of strangers
But there's one stranger who stands out from the rest
Enchanting
She's got this look that I've never seen
I've got to blame her for the butterflies in my chest
OH HA!
Dreaming 'bout what it would be like if you were my girl
If I just walked right over there and said hello
But i won't
I'll be leaving without ever saying a word
It's absurd
That I get caught up in my head I know
I'm caught in a dream oh no
I'd introduce myself and I'd look in your eyes
And I would say darling you should be mine
But that won't happen tonight
I would grab you a drink
And we would talk
'bout how we like the same things
And you would fall
For me
Like i did for you
OH HA!
Dreaming 'bout what it would be like if you were my girl
If I just walked right over there and said hello
But i won't
I'll be leaving without ever saying a word
It's absurd
That I get caught up in my head I know
I'm caught in a dream oh no
Oh no
I'm caught in a dream
Wonder how it'd feel
If you were
If you were with me
OH HA!
Dreaming 'bout what it would be like if you were my girl
If I just walked right over there and said hello
But i won't
I'll be leaving without ever saying a word
It's absurd
That I get caught up in my head I know
I'm caught in a dream oh no
I
Need




To
Wake up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O.M.I.T.D.'s song "Dreaming" present a series of questions about what happens when our world falls apart and we lose our way. The uncertainty of these questions reflects the anxiety and fear that can arise when we think about the possibility of everything going wrong. The first set of questions explores the idea of a world without light, both literally and metaphorically. What happens when the sun won't shine and everything falls apart? We don't want to let go of hope, but what happens if we all lose our way and our mamas just don't pray?


The second set of questions focuses on love, faith, and heroes. What happens when lovebirds lose hope and heroes lose the fight? What happens when religion fails us and the desperate take things too far? These questions suggest a loss of faith in the things that we hold dear, and a sense of despair when we realize that what we have counted on may not be enough.


Throughout the song, the repetition of the phrase "Dreaming of a better world" emphasizes the human desire for hope and change. The lyrics suggest that we are searching for something that can make things right, give us new life, and help us to achieve the dreams we hold dear.

All war is horrendous.
Everyone’s death diminishes me, for I am a part of mankind.
Is it the #’s?
The number of deaths at once?
Or is it the fact that war is now home and can wipe out all?
Some argue that WW3 has not occurred yet because we realize it will be the last.

Remember, the US estimated that 10 million Japanese would die in a conventional invasion. The Japanese government expected 1/3 to 1/2 of its population would die.

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Ah-ha, words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied
These games you play
They're going to end in more than tears some day
Ah-ha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal, and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today?
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna to fade away
Enola Gay
You shouldn't ever have to live this way
Ah-ha Enola Gay
You should've faded our dreams away
It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal, and you're coming home
Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today?
Ah-ha this kiss you give
It's never ever going to fade away

Read it somewhere: "80's music had got to come from another planet". Good decade for music.

There was no good decade for music. People just forget the crummy songs. The vast majority of songs in any decade were mediocre.

@@wcoke There being no treatment for AIDS and the threat of nuclear annihilation? The 80s were not awesome.
