Dream Girl
bri.broskie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ooooh)

I can barely call you a friend
We just got the benefits
Using love as an instrument
We were always so intimate
But now things are different

And I don't know the right girl for me
I'm tryna see
Maybe it'll happen in the next couple weeks
No longer wasting sleep
Over a dream girl that I don't know

Whoa, yeah

I hate unspoken intentions, what good is our decision if you
Just end up nitpicking, not tryna convince ya
I'm not picking you just because you're cute, you're beautiful
But that don't mean you're someone that I need to know


And I don't know the right girl for me
I'm tryna see
Maybe it'll happen in the next couple weeks
No longer wasting sleep
Over a dream girl that I don't know

Whoa, yeah

So we had gotten it started, then shortly we departed when you came off so serious
I'm not playing delirious games
This is so typical of you
Cuz every time I talk you don't listen
You act a fool, is this really you?


And I don't know the right girl for me
I'm tryna see
Maybe it'll happen in the next couple weeks
No longer wasting sleep
Over a dream girl that I don't know

Whoa, yeah

Can you break it down for me? (X3)
Stay out of my dreams (X3)
Can you break it down for me? (X3)
Stay out of my dreams (X3)

And I don't know the right girl for me
I'm tryna see
Maybe it'll happen in the next couple weeks
No longer wasting sleep
Over a dream girl that I don't know

Whoa, yeah


And I don't know the right girl for me
I'm tryna see
Maybe it'll happen in the next couple weeks
No longer wasting sleep
Over a dream girl that I don't know





Whoa, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dream Girl" by bri.broskie convey a sense of confusion and disillusionment in a romantic relationship. The singer begins by expressing a sense of ambiguity in the relationship, describing the connection as more about the physical benefits rather than a true friendship. Love is depicted as a tool or instrument used between the two individuals, highlighting the superficial nature of their intimacy. However, the singer acknowledges that things have changed, hinting at a shift in dynamics or emotions within the relationship.


The chorus emphasizes the singer's uncertainty about finding the right partner. They express a desire to explore possibilities and hope that the ideal person will come into their life soon. The lyrics suggest a willingness to let go of unrealistic expectations and stop fixating on an idealized "dream girl" who remains unknown to them. This signals a sense of maturity and acceptance of the complexities of relationships and the need for realistic expectations.


The second verse delves deeper into the frustrations and disappointments within the relationship. The singer laments the presence of unspoken intentions and a lack of genuine communication, questioning the validity of their decisions. They express frustration with the other person's behavior, highlighting a disconnect between their actions and the singer's desires. This leads to a contemplation of the deeper qualities that are necessary in a partner beyond mere physical attraction.


As the song progresses, the narrative shifts to a moment of confrontation and realization. The singer reflects on the challenges and misunderstandings that have plagued the relationship, accusing the other person of not truly listening or understanding them. This culminates in a plea for clarity and a request for the other person to stay out of their dreams, symbolizing a desire for distance or closure in the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "Can you break it down for me?" underscores the need for honesty and transparency in their interactions.


In the final chorus, the singer reiterates their uncertainty about finding the right partner but expresses a sense of readiness to move forward. The lyrics suggest a determination to let go of unrealistic expectations and illusions, signaling a resolve to stop wasting time and energy on an intangible "dream girl." The repetition of the phrase "Whoa, yeah" adds a sense of resignation or acceptance, as the singer acknowledges the complexities and challenges of navigating relationships and finding genuine connection.
