I believe the meaning (to me) is about dreaming what it's like to love someone, and to imagine what you feel, but you're not with that person. You're alone, thinking about the possibilities to be in love with someone so much. So much that you imagine their smile is so beautiful and you love its presence so much. That smile. Her happiness. Her Joy. You get to experience it. Maybe even cause that smile to grow :-)
"A stone in a stream" - just another lifeless being in a stream of many stones... Yet, as you dream of this love, you're practically floating far away, living in this dream.
"A rat in a cage" - Helpless. Stuck. Alone. No purpose. Nothing to do but dream.
If I were in love... That smile would be so precious to me because it tells me that you're happy and that you share love with me.
"A laugh with a sting".. As if you're listening to this happening but it's not your laugh or your love's... Knowing that is like a bite from a snake. It hurts and leaves a poison within you. An ever present awareness that you do not have what you dream to be one of the greatest feelings to have.
