Dreaming
SG Lewis feat. Bruno Major Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll take a whiskey over wine
If I knew half the things that you know
Would you look me in the eye?
If I was funnier from time to time
Non of this was strong, be two
If I could play a game with your mind
Would I catch a glance from you?
I know there′s no way, but I can keep dreaming
And writing songs about us getting together
'Cause at least this way my words have meaning
As the likelihood of us is never
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
I tend to lose myself in my mind
Like a raindrop to the sea
In a world of fine design
It was you that noticed me
I′m painting my own picture
With all the colors that I see
So I drew myself next to you
Spinning out in ecstasy
I know there's no way, but I can keep dreaming
And writing songs about us getting together
′Cause at least this way my words have meaning
As the likelihood of us is never
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
Guess I′ll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I′ll just
The lyrics to SG Lewis feat. Bruno Major's song "Dreaming" evoke a longing for a love that may never be realized. The first verse begins with a sense of disorientation as the singer admits to not knowing one month from the next and preferring whiskey over wine. The lyrics then transition to a hypothetical scenario in which the singer ponders whether knowing more about the person they desire would lead to reciprocated feelings. They question whether being funnier or playing a game with their mind would make a difference in gaining the attention of the person they desire.
The second verse continues with a theme of daydreaming and losing oneself in thoughts of the object of desire. The singer likens themselves to a raindrop in a sea of thoughts before admitting that it was the person they desire who noticed them. In an attempt to capture their feelings, the singer creates a world of their own design and places themselves alongside the person they desire, spinning out in ecstasy. The chorus then repeats a sense of hopelessness but also a determination to keep dreaming and writing about this person as a way of giving their words meaning.
Overall, "Dreaming" is a poignant reminder of the unrequited longing that many people experience in their romantic lives. Despite the frustration and heartache that can accompany such feelings, the singer finds solace in their imagination and ability to express themselves through music.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't know November from up the castle
I don't understand time or seasons very well
I'll take a whiskey over wine
I prefer whiskey instead of wine
If I knew half the things that you know, would you look me in the eye?
If I had more knowledge, would you still respect me?
If I was funnier from time to time, none of this was strong, be two
If I were more humorous occasionally, would we be a stronger couple?
If I could play a game with your mind, would I catch a glance from you?
If I could manipulate your thoughts, would you be interested in me?
I tend to lose myself in my mind, like a raindrop to the sea
I often get lost in my thoughts, like water droplets getting absorbed by the sea
In a world of fine design, it was you that noticed me
In a beautiful world, you were the one who saw me
I'm painting my own picture, with all the colors that I see
I'm creating my own vision of life, using all the colors available to me
So I drew myself next to you, spinning out in ecstasy
In my vision, I drew myself next to you, experiencing extreme joy
I know there's no way, but I can keep dreaming
I know it's unlikely, but I can still hope and imagine
And writing songs about us getting together
I express my desires through music, imagining a relationship with you
'Cause at least this way my words have meaning, as the likelihood of us is never
Even if it's just in my imagination, my words have meaning because the reality of us being together is slim
Guess I'll just keep dreaming, guess I'll just
I'll continue to dream, even though it might not happen
