This song is a love song in the sense that it describes a genuine longing for love through the lens and language of misplaced fantasy, objectification and desire. It’s basically about pornography, and the title ‘Hot Dreams’ probably comes from the adult film of the same name from 1983 by Shaun Coste...
[Verse 1]
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with a black woman
I wanna still, I wanna still, I wanna still my mind
And I want a chance, I want a chance, I want another chance
To distill, to distill their time
[Chorus 1]
And I wanna write, I wanna write, I wanna write
To someone so true
I wanna wake, I wanna wake, I wanna wake
From hot dreams, hot dreams of you
Oh, hot dreams
(Hot dreams)
(Hot dreams)
[Verse 2]
I wanna rise, I wanna rise, I wanna rise up beside you
I want to be, I want to be, I want to be a champion in your eyes
And I will follow through, follow through on all my promises and threats to you, babe
Hot streams, hot streams will fork and divide, fork and divide
[Chorus 2]
I wanna take, I wanna take, I wanna take
Take all of your air
I wanna find, I wanna find, I wanna find
Another daydream, another nightmare
I wanna lie, I wanna lie, I wanna lie
Lie me down in your stream
I wanna wake, I wanna wake
I wanna wake from hot dreams
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you, babe (Hot dreams)
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you, babe (Hot dreams)
[Outro]
