The lyrics of The Roux's song "A Dream" depict a dreamlike and romantic relationship. The chorus begins with the line "Sweet dreams in a nightmare," which can be interpreted as finding beauty and happiness even in challenging or difficult situations. It suggests that despite the ups and downs of life, the singer is always there for their partner, emphasizing the line "One call babygirl and I'm right there."
The following lines express a desire for affection and indicate that the person might care if shown a little love. The reference to the numbers 23 and 45, like Michael Jordan's basketball jersey number and his famous "Air Jordan" shoes, adds a playful and sporty element to the lyrics. The mention of a person rolling through like a high chair can be interpreted as someone coming into the singer's life effortlessly and with ease.
The second verse introduces some elements of self-confidence and success. The lines "One bank account got the balance, bitch I like that" and "Four different houses for my braddahs, bitch I'm like that" suggest that the singer has achieved financial stability and is proud of it. There is also a reference to being anti-social, but perhaps this is to emphasize the importance of having a select and supportive group of friends, as demonstrated by the line "Jump through the hoops and I divvy the hurdles, that mean I don't got no squares in my circle."
Overall, "A Dream" by The Roux portrays a dreamlike and romantic relationship that transcends challenges. It highlights the willingness to support and care for each other, as well as the personal success and confidence of the singer.
