The Dream
Trophy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it got too hot
We'd sit in the silence of summer and listen
To birds sing their songs while I sang mine
And you didn't mind
You got a nosebleed that time that you stepped on the bee
Plugging your nose and choking on blood
Coughing like you couldn't breathe
I'm sweating it out so I can't feel a thing
We watched the shipping barge under midnight stars at the beach
And we watched a movie with Harrison Ford
Where you look just like him, I think
Was it all a fever dream
I'm sweating it out so I can't feel a thing
I know your shoe size and where you grew up
And I know you're deathly afraid of growing up
And I know that you loved
But in the way that only you could love me
Less everyday
You were my greatest gift, the best surprise
But you kept me at arm's length with arms open wide
When all that I wanted was to know you
The way that you thought you knew me
And I worship the ground that you walk on
But it's muddy and filled with decay
There's bones of a beast there that I no longer recognize and I can't name
And I'm swimming in circles in the shallow end of the pool
Screaming for help that I don't need
All because I'm too tired to stand.
Was it all a fever dream
Something I made up and came up with when I was asleep
Was it all a fever dream
I'm sweating it out so I can't feel a thing
The lyrics of "The Dream" by Trophy evoke a sense of nostalgia, longing, and confusion as the singer reflects on a past relationship or experience that seems almost dreamlike in its intensity and surreal quality. The opening lines describe an intimate moment shared with someone, where hands touch tenderly and physical closeness is contrasted with the heat of the moment. There is a sense of vulnerability and raw emotion as they navigate the complexities of their connection.
The reference to a nosebleed caused by stepping on a bee introduces a sudden jolt of reality amidst the dreamy atmosphere. The physical discomfort and struggle to catch one's breath symbolize the challenges and obstacles encountered in the relationship. The singer questions whether the whole experience was just a fever dream, a figment of their imagination tinged with the haze of sleep and longing.
There are glimpses of shared memories and experiences, such as watching a movie with a doppelganger of Harrison Ford and observing a shipping barge under the stars. These moments of connection and familiarity are juxtaposed with a growing distance and emotional detachment that the singer feels from the other person. The lyrics suggest a gradual erosion of closeness and understanding, with the singer yearning to truly know and be known in return.
The final verses convey a sense of resignation and disillusionment as the singer grapples with the realization that the relationship may have been built on illusions and misunderstandings. The imagery of worshiping someone who is now unfamiliar and distant reflects a deep sense of loss and betrayal. The repeated refrain of "Was it all a fever dream" underscores the uncertainty and confusion surrounding the memories and emotions that once felt so real. The singer finds themselves trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and exhaustion, unable to find solid ground to stand on amidst the shifting sands of their past.
Overall, "The Dream" by Trophy delves into the complexities of human connection, longing, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy. The lyrics paint a poignant portrait of a relationship that may have been born out of desire and hope, only to crumble under the weight of unmet expectations and unspoken truths. The song captures the bittersweet nature of reminiscing about a past love, tinged with both beauty and melancholy.

We read inside with your hands holding bits of my thighs
We connected emotionally while reading together, with your touch reassuring and comforting me
When it got too hot
In moments of intensity or difficulty
We'd sit in the silence of summer and listen
We found peace in the tranquil moments of summer
To birds sing their songs while I sang mine
Surrounded by beauty and music, expressing ourselves in harmony with nature
And you didn't mind
You accepted me for who I am without judgment
You got a nosebleed that time that you stepped on the bee
A painful incident that disrupted our peace and caused a physical reaction
Plugging your nose and choking on blood
Struggling to deal with the unexpected and its consequences
Coughing like you couldn't breathe
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
Was it all a fever dream
Questioning the reality of our experiences and memories
I'm sweating it out so I can't feel a thing
Trying to numb the emotional pain and confusion
We watched the shipping barge under midnight stars at the beach
Sharing intimate moments together under the night sky
And we watched a movie with Harrison Ford
Enjoying simple pleasures and bonding over shared interests
Where you look just like him, I think
Noticing similarities and connections between us and characters on screen
I know your shoe size and where you grew up
Understanding the details of your past and present life
And I know you're deathly afraid of growing up
Recognizing your fears and insecurities about the future
And I know that you loved
Acknowledging your affection and feelings
But in the way that only you could love me
Realizing the unique and complex nature of your love for me
Less everyday
Feeling a gradual decrease in the depth of our connection
You were my greatest gift, the best surprise
Appreciating your presence in my life as a wonderful gift
But you kept me at arm's length with arms open wide
Maintaining emotional distance despite a facade of openness
When all that I wanted was to know you
Longing for a deeper understanding and connection with you
The way that you thought you knew me
Realizing a disconnect in our perceptions of each other
And I worship the ground that you walk on
Valuing and admiring your presence and influence in my life
But it's muddy and filled with decay
Recognizing flaws and challenges in our relationship
There's bones of a beast there that I no longer recognize and I can't name
Encountering unfamiliar and unsettling aspects of our connection
And I'm swimming in circles in the shallow end of the pool
Feeling stuck and lost in a superficial and unfulfilling situation
Screaming for help that I don't need
Expressing distress and confusion without seeking a solution
All because I'm too tired to stand.
Feeling exhausted and emotionally drained
Something I made up and came up with when I was asleep
Questioning the validity of our past experiences and memories

I had a dream about two people who wanted to kill me, I grabbed a knife from one of them, looked him in the face and rebuked him then he looked down coz of shame, as I was about to walk away, there was another one with something like a bow and arrow pointed at me and chanting something evil, I faced him directly and declared that greater is the one in me than the one in the world, I said these words with boldness while looking him straight in the face, he failed to strike me with his evil weapon and I passed without getting hurt. I was victorious and felt good. Glory to God Almighty🙏🙏
