Raveena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Light blue dress
Hands so stained
With cigarettes
Dangle her two
Long black plaits
Somewhere in a
In her line
The poet sings
Love and drugs
Its the same thing
Four knees
On a fire escape
Somewhere in a
Dream state
Trace your lips
At 6 AM
Kiss the cut
That once bled
I like the soft edges
Of the rain
Somewhere in our
Dream state
The song “Dream State” by Raveena is a nostalgic and dreamlike composition reflecting the emotions of a girl lost in her own thoughts. The lyrics of the song are emotive and poetic, painting vivid images of the girl's surroundings and experiences. The first verse describes the girl in a light blue dress with hands stained by cigarettes. Her two long black plaits dangle, and she is lost in a dream state. The second and third verses give glimpses into the girl's life - the poet sings about love and drugs, and four people sit on a fire escape. The final verse speaks of kissing a once-bleeding cut and enjoying the soft edges of rain, all while existing in a dream state.
In the song, Raveena creates a dreamlike and introspective experience through her use of imagery and lyrical storytelling. Her voice is softly layered over subtle guitar riffs and a gentle beat, creating a serene and calming atmosphere for the listener.
