Sad Dream Lyrics

Cover art for Sad Dream lyrics by Sky Ferreira

This song is about her father and the relationship between the two of them. From what I've gathered, their relationship isn't the best and they might not be that close, but she still loves him. It's only in her dreams that she is able to hug him and talk to him (about things like bad dreams, like little kids do when they have nightmares). She feels bad for at one time wishing away the parts of him she sees in herself, not just the facial resemblance, but also her personality, I assume. She still feels guilty for not being a wonderful daughter. She loves her father, but isn't quite sure she'll ever be able to express that to him.

The music video is beautiful and gets a lot of this across as well. I'm really liking this less dance-y music from Sky. I hope there's more of it in the future!
