Must Be Dreaming

Frou Frou

Pay close attention
Don't listen to me from now
George'll be flying this one
And it's anyone's guess how he does this
Is the right turn wrong
Universe taking me in full bloom
Fireball careful with that there
See what you made me do

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
I must be dreaming for
I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Incendiary glance
Be come and collide in me
Zoom in enhance hold
While I go helplessly sky high
Magic eye sugar rushing don't stop

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
Hey just what d'you make me for?
For I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Euphoria I can't take any more of
Euphoria I can't take any more of
Yeah I'm losing it

I must be dreaming
Or we're onto something
just what d'you make me for?
For I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming
Or pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)
I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)
I'm losing it (I'm losing it here)

I must be dreaming (I'm losing it here)
I must be dreaming (I'm losing it here)
I must be dreaming

    Rather than go into some detailed description of what the lyrics mean I will just say this. I love the song, and I think that Frou Frou is an excellent artist. The first time I heard this song was to an amv, and later that night I put the song into my winamp playlist so we could hear it while I was giving my girlfriend a massage. (great music to give a massage to by the way) It was a beautiful night as is every waking moment that I am with her. Anytime I listen to this song, along with many others, I think of her. Beautiful.

    Whenever I hear this song, I always think of a very sudden, unexpected love. What I mean is that the narrator has certain things she wants from her significant other/their relationship - and that is what she is used to. However, she suddenly finds herself being swept off her feet by someone who completely defies all of the standards she has set for herself, making her feel like the whole thing is like a dream because she never stepped outside the boundaries she set for herself boundaries — never fell “in love lawlessly”. She finds herself happy and wants to “undeniably” belong to her partner; however, there is always a lingering worry in the back of her mind that something will go awry.

    Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly dooreatoe, the girlfriend comments were way too harsh... songmeanings can be personal interpretations to. This song is beautiful. It's obviously about falling in love. frou frou = awesome.

    "Must be dreaming Or we're on to something Must be dreaming For, I don't fall in love lawlessly Must be dreaming Oh, pinch me to waking So undeniably yours As long as I'm losing it so completely"

    It shows, as dooreatoe already pointed, that the "love seems like a beautiful dream, but thankfully is a beautiful reality." However, the chorus expresses some sort of doubt, showing how she knows that she doesn't fall in love so lawlessly, so what is happening? She's so caught up in this surreal bliss that she turns to say, "As long as I'm losing it so completely," which in my mind translates to her saying that it may be a dream or it may be reality, but whatever. I'm yours and however long this wonderful phase lasts, take me.

    The constant references to flying shows her dream-like state and how her spirit is way up high in the clouds.

    "Sky high magic I sugar rush And don't stop"

    It's like she's in eternal happiness with this guy and everything is so beautiful. She thinks that she must be dreaming because she's in a euphoric state never felt before.

    The girlfriend comments were a bit harsh, but true. This song, as well as most other Frou Frou songs, is excellent in many different ways. I don't know much about them but I really love them.

    Even though the story was seemingly unnecessary, the harsh, rude comments did not belong either, making the authors of those hypocrites And there was nothing "sickly" about what he said, unless you're not into human/human contact.

    I defend the first comment because if you read into it a bit, it represents the song perfectly.

    "Must be dreaming Or we're on to something Must be dreaming For, I don't fall in love lawlessly Must be dreaming Oh, pinch me to waking So undeniably yours As long as I'm losing it so completely "

    Michi apparently loves this girl completely. She's "undeniably" his, and he is "undeniably" hers. The love seems like a beautiful dream, but thankfully is a beautiful reality.

    Wonderful song.

    Her love is so wonderful either it's a dream or she's onto something great. Gosh, what's not to love about Frou Frou?

More Featured Meanings

Album art
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Album art
No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
