Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never saw your smile
'Til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes it's hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And it's too late
It's just too late to stayToo late to stay
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go
I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize)
Though you're miles and miles away
I see you every day
I don't have to try
I just close my eyes
I close my eyes
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
We'll always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
We'll always be together
Together in electric dreams
The song "Together in Electric Dreams" by Philip Oakey is a tribute to the power of connection and the lasting bonds that can be formed with others, even when they are far away. The song begins by acknowledging that the singer only knew the other person for a short time and never saw their smile, but that love can still surprise us and come at unexpected times. Despite this, it can also come too late, leaving us with regret.
The chorus of the song is where the theme of the title comes in. It emphasizes that no matter how far apart two people may be, their love will keep them together in electric dreams. The electric dreams are a metaphor for the power of technology and innovation to bring people closer, even when they are physically far apart. The second verse expands on this idea, as the singer notes that the friendship he has with the other person has taught him to be brave and that he will never find a better prize, no matter where he goes.
Overall, the song is about the enduring power of connection and the way that it can transcend time and distance. It is a hopeful and uplifting tribute to love and friendship.

I only knew you for a while
Although I didn't know you for very long
I never saw your smile
I never had the chance to see you happy
'Til it was time to go
Only when it was time for us to part ways
Time to go away (time to go away)
Was when it was time for us to leave each other's lives
Sometimes it's hard to recognise
Sometimes love is hard to detect
Love comes as a surprise
Love can be unexpected
And it's too late
By the time we realize our feelings it is too late
It's just too late to stay
Staying together is no longer an option
We'll always be together
We will always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
Even if distance separates us, our love will remain
Together in electric dreams
We will be united in the realm of fantasy, in our shared imagination
Because the friendship that you gave
Your friendship gave me strength and courage
Has taught me to be brave
I learned to be courageous because of you
No matter where I go
No matter where I end up in life
I'll never find a better prize (find a better prize)
I'll never find a greater treasure than the friendship we shared
Though you're miles and miles away
Even if you are far away, physically
I see you every day
I still think of you constantly
I don't have to try
It is effortless
I just close my eyes
In my mind's eye I can still see you and remember our times together
We'll always be together
We will always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
No matter how far apart we are, love will endure
Together in electric dreams
United in our mutual imagination and fantasies
We'll always be together
We will always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
No matter how vast the distance is, our love will never cease
We'll always be together
We will always be together
Together in electric dreams
Our collective imagination will always bring us together
We'll always be together
We will always be together
However far it seems (love never ends)
Even if we are miles apart, our love will live on
We'll always be together
We will always be together
Together in electric dreams
Our shared fantasies will keep us bonded
