Dreaming
Rameses B featuring Holly Drummond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in this bedroom
for tonight I will be
dreaming of you.
It's the one thing
I can rely on
when everything else is
so confused.
I'm not leaving
not now that you're here with me
Don't wake me up.
I may be dreaming
but what I feel for you is real
don't wake me up.
Turn the lights off
in this courtroom
While the jury decides
what to do with me.
I was stupid
a little crazy
is this what love is supposed to be?
The song "Dreaming" by Rameses B featuring Holly Drummond is a beautifully crafted track that delves deep into the complexities of love, relationships, and the power of dreams. The dreamy, electronic beats of the song combined with the soulful and heartfelt vocals of Holly Drummond create an atmosphere of melancholy, longing, and hope.
The first verse of the song talks about turning off the lights in the bedroom and dreaming of someone you love, as it is the one thing you can rely on when everything else feels confusing. The lyrics suggest that despite the confusion and chaos in life, dreams of being with that special person provide solace, comfort, and a sense of purpose. The chorus speaks of not wanting to wake up from the dream, as the love and emotions felt in the dream are so real, despite the possibility of them being just a figment of the imagination.
The second verse takes a different and more dramatic tone, with the singer talking about turning off the lights in the courtroom, where the jury is deciding what to do with someone who was "stupid" and "a little crazy." Here, the lyrics imply that the love felt by the singer might have caused them to act in a way that is seen as irrational and questionable in the eyes of others. The song ends with the singer pleading not to be woken up from the dream, as they are aware that love can take people to the edge, and yet they are willing to surrender themselves to it.
