Wicked Dreams
Rhye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I'm in love, hmm
Can you hear me? Hmm hmm
Summer calls,
Most by so slowly
I'm in love and breaking
It's the pleasure to have
I'm alone here
Is it too hard to tell?
When it's in my face
Give me love
Oh, you're stealing my breath
But you're giving me air
I'm alone and breaking
We can try a million ways
We can find a million ways
We can die a millions ways
So let's try
Call my name
Don't break me
It's the pleasure to have
How we love so soft
I'm alone here
Is it too hard to tell?
When it's in my face
Give me love
I'm falling to this wicked dreams
I'm falling to this wicked dreams
I'm falling to this wicked dreams
I'm falling to this wicked dreams
The lyrics of Rhye's "Wicked Dreams" are poetic and open to interpretation, but it seems to be a plea for love and affection. The first few lines suggest a sense of vulnerability and fragility, as the singer is "breaking" like they are in love. They call out to their lover to hear them, indicating a desire for attention and validation. The mention of summer passing by slowly adds to the sense of longing and waiting.
As the song continues, the mood shifts slightly. The singer talks about the pleasure of love, but also acknowledges feeling alone and unsure. There is a sense of yearning and a desire to be rescued by the person they are addressing. The lines "Oh, you're stealing my breath / But you're giving me air" further emphasize this dichotomy of feeling overwhelmed but also relieved to have someone there.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm falling to this wicked dreams," which conjures up images of being trapped in a state of confusion or uncertainty. It is unclear whether the singer is lamenting their inability to escape these dreams or reveling in them as a way of escaping reality.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wicked Dreams" capture the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being in love - the highs and lows, the uncertainty and the longing.
