Dreaming
Water Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We sit for hours
and no one says a thing.
She want to go out
but we never go out.
So tell me a story
so I can get some sleep.
I'm worn out
and sick and tired of always being down.

And the moment
that I land.
The city light fall on me.
I know one thing
I'll be missing you
I'll be missing you

She never goes online
So tell me a story
cos I can't sleep.
So tell me a story
cos I can't sleep.

I'll be missing you.





She never goes online

Overall Meaning

The opening lines describe a sense of isolation and disconnection between two people. Despite sitting together for hours, nobody speaks, and the singer is tired of never going out anywhere. The mention of wanting to hear a story to help with sleep suggests a feeling of boredom and monotony. When the singer lands in the city and is illuminated by the lights, they realize that they will miss the person they are referring to, even though they never seem to communicate much.


In the second verse, the theme of communication and connection is further explored. The mention of the person never going online suggests a lack of technological connection, but the fact that the singer still longs to hear a story shows that they crave connection on a deeper level. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of longing for someone who is physically present but emotionally distant.


Overall, the lyrics of "Dreaming" convey a sense of restlessness and loneliness, highlighting the importance of human connection and the challenges of maintaining it.
