“Dream State…,” the fifth track off No Burden, sees Lucy Dacus seek companionship with someone who compliments her.
Said Pitchfork of this song and its companion:
The songs, “Dream State…” and “…Familiar Place,” seem to complete each other elliptically, and approach their shared lyric through two...
[Verse 1]
We woke up to the thunder
We huddled under covers
We didn't say anything
If you hadn't come over
I would be so much colder
I would be much less confused
[Chorus]
And then the water came
And washed it all away
It left me with nothing to say
Could not believe my eyes
I could not recognize
Your face in the rubble
[Post-Chorus]
Without you, I am surely the last of our kind
Without you, I am surely the last of my kind
[Verse 2]
We had a lot to measure
We had more past than pleasure
And time grows deep like weeds
You catch me when I'm falling
Sometimes, I wish you wouldn't
I can't tell if I'm learning
[Chorus]
And then the water came
And washed it all away
It left me with nothing to say
Could not believe my eyes
I could not recognize
Your face in the rubble
[Post-Chorus]
Without you I am surely the last of our kind
Without you I am surely the last of my kind
Without you I am surely the last of our kind
Without you I am surely the last of my kind
Without you I am surely the last of our kind
Without you I am surely the last of my kind
