A Dream
Xian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told you that i liked you
Told you that i want you girl and showed you that i loved you
We were talk of the town baby all our friends were jealous
Then i got the news that you suddenly lost your grandma
And you needed space
And you needed time
So you can clear your head and mind
So i gave you some time
But you never called back

Few months later saw you hanging round with a way older nigga
If i had a gun probably pull the trigger
That's just how i felt seeing you happy in his arms

Really really want you in my life
What about the promises we made that night




Standing under the moonlight
My dream girl

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics to Xian's song "A Dream," the singer starts by expressing their feelings towards someone, telling them they like them and want them, and showing that they love them. Their relationship seems to be going well, with them being the talk of the town and their friends feeling jealous of their connection. However, the tone quickly changes when the singer finds out that the person they are interested in has experienced a loss in their family - the sudden loss of their grandma. This news leads the person to ask for space and time to clear their head and mind, which the singer respects by giving them the needed time alone.


Despite the understanding and patience shown by the singer, the person never reaches out again after taking some time to process their grief. The sense of longing and confusion is clear in the lyrics as the singer reflects on the promises and moments they shared under the moonlight, reminiscing about the strong connection they once had. The disappointment and heartache of being left without closure or communication are evident as the relationship takes an unexpected turn.


Further complicating matters, the singer later sees the person they care about with someone else, specifically described as a "way older nigga." This sight fills the singer with intense emotions, to the point where they express a desire to pull the trigger if they had a gun. The juxtaposition of seeing the person they still deeply care for moving on with someone else causes the singer to feel a mix of heartbreak, jealousy, and anger.


In the final moments of the lyrics, the singer lays bare their true feelings, expressing a genuine longing to have this person back in their life and questioning the promises that were made during their intimate moment under the moonlight. The person is still referred to as "my dream girl," emphasizing the idealized image and deep connection the singer feels despite the challenges and changes that have occurred. The lyrics depict a complex mix of emotions - love, loss, longing, and betrayal - all woven into a story of a relationship that took an unexpected and painful turn.

On episode 2 and it's AMAZING so far. By far one of the best chinese dramas ever.

Love the female lead Liu Yifei. She is so good in this. Very beautiful and natural beauty. Someone I would love to meet and just chat and have dim sum with in another world another reality.

The cinematics, music, pace reminds me a lot of older animes...

Love some of the quirky characters I am introduced to and can't wait to know them more. Love all those small details.

Love the pacing so far.

I hope it ends up as good as it started. So far AMAZING job by team.
