In this song Tay Walker takes us through a dream that he seems to rememberly very vividly. The dream seems to have had many rich meanings, that Tay is trying himself to interprete in this dreamy, song.
[Verse 1]
As I open my eyes
I’m afloat in the sky
And I look over
A bird lands on my shoulder
It starts to talk to me
And then I start to breathe heavily
Am I still alive?
Or have I lost my mind, oh ohhh
Then I start to fly (Fly)
Through these purple skies
Then I start to fall again
To see hundred-million-dollar bills
Then I bought the world (World)
Diamonds, golden pearls
It all belongs to me
But I don’t realize that it’s all a dream
[Chorus]
It’s all a dream (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a dream (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a—
It’s all a—
It's all a dream
Tell me if I’m dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
I must be dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
Tell me if I’m dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a (Dream)
It’s all a (Dream)
[Verse 2]
When I looked in the mirror
Where I should see myself
But there was no one there
Then the walls started to melt
Then I heard a voice
I'd never heard before
She said, "Don’t worry, boy"
"Stop living life in a hurry, boy"
I yell out, "Who are you?"
But no one's replying
She shows up behind me
Whispers in my ear
"Come try and find me"
Then I turn around to see
That there’s no living soul around with me
Wonder what it all should mean
Am I still awake or is it all a dream?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
It’s all a dream (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a dream (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a—
It’s all a—
It's all a dream
Tell me if I’m dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
I must be dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
Tell me if I’m dreamin' (It’s all a dream)
It’s all a (Dream)
It’s all a (Dream)
[Verse 3]
Now tell me, what does it mean?
Tell me, what does it mean?
What does it mean?
Must be just a dream
Seems so real, I don’t know what to think
Now tell me, what does it mean?
Tell me, what does it mean?
Does it mean
Must be just a dream
Seems so real, I don’t know what to think
[Outro]
A wise man once came to me in a dream and he said
"Taylor, have no fear of perfection
You'll never reach it because mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature
Never try to correct them, on the contrary, rationalize them—understand them thoroughly
After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them."
