The dresses song Lyrics

You make we want to wear dresses
You make we want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile
Take me to your castle
It feels so good in there
Much much safer in your castle
Mine got lost somewhere

You make we want to wear dresses
You make we want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile
You make me think about nothing
It feels so good like that
You look at me so fragile
So full of desire
Wide wide open spaces
You make me want to wear dresses
Wide wide open spaces

You make me want to wear dresses
You make me want to wear dresses
You look at me so fragile
Wide wide open spaces
Wide wide open spaces
Take me to your castl
It feels so good in there
Much much safer in your castle
Mine got lost somewhere

You make me want to wear dresses
You make me want to wear dresses
Its much much safer in my dresses
You make me want to wear dresses

Cover art for The dresses song lyrics by Lisa Germano

I see it as, the other person makes her want to be kind of a subservient, traditional female. Like she normally wouldn't wear dressed, but wants to for this person. The castle suggests dominance by the other.

I harbor enormous doubt that this is meant to be a sexy song.

Cover art for The dresses song lyrics by Lisa Germano

I always picture these dresses as flowery prints, and longer. Not, in this case, emphasizing sexuality necessarily, but a definite femininity; a feeling of being pretty and girly, and the vulnerability (and the power?) that goes along with that. To be found in this relationship between "me" and "you".

The "wide, wide open spaces" gives the impression of freedom and of endless possibility, and "your" castle (vision and perspective and love) is a fantastical fortress protecting "me" from the outside world.

Just an incredible song.
