Dream (Unreleased)

Ariana Grande's 'Dream (Unreleased)' delves into the complexities of love, illusion, and self-discovery. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that feels both real and surreal, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Grande expresses how this love has pushed her to do things she never thought she would, revealing a transformative power that love can have on an individual. The repeated phrase, 'The things I'd never do, it's like, I do for you,' underscores the profound impact this relationship has had on her actions and words.

The song also touches on the theme of mental struggle and confusion. Grande sings about waking up with a 'super fucked up' mind, indicating a state of emotional turmoil. The line 'They knew our love was fiction, your love was just a vision' suggests that others perceive her love as imaginary or unattainable, adding to her internal conflict. Despite this, she continues to hold onto the hope that this love is real, as evidenced by her insistence that 'I swear you're just right next to me.' This juxtaposition of hope and doubt creates a poignant narrative about the challenges of distinguishing between dreams and reality.

In the latter part of the song, Grande resolves to 'love a little harder' and 'write a lot more often,' indicating a commitment to personal growth and resilience. The idea of making a 'fuckin' billion' and lifting 'twice as much' symbolizes her determination to overcome obstacles and achieve her goals, even if it means carrying the weight of two people. This powerful message of perseverance and self-improvement resonates deeply, making 'Dream (Unreleased)' a compelling exploration of love, illusion, and the strength to keep moving forward.
