Awake (Original Soundtrack From ฝันรักห้วงนิทรา My Marvellous Dream is You)
Boy Sompob
Eternal Night: A Love That Transcends Daylight
Boy Sompob's song "Awake" from the soundtrack of "ฝันรักห้วงนิทรา My Marvellous Dream is You" is a poignant exploration of love that transcends the boundaries of reality and dreams. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lover who feels most alive and connected when the night falls, and the moon rises. The sun, which typically symbolizes life and energy, is portrayed as an antagonist that separates the lovers. The protagonist longs for the night, a time when they can reunite with their beloved, suggesting that their love is so profound that it defies the constraints of time and space.
The recurring theme of cursing the sun and longing for the moon highlights the dichotomy between day and night, reality and dreams. The protagonist's desire to remain in the dream state, where they can be with their loved one, underscores the intensity of their emotions. The lines "I'm awake when I'm dreaming" and "Wide awake when I'm dreaming" suggest that the dream world feels more real and fulfilling than the waking world. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the depth of their love, which feels more genuine and intense than anything experienced in their daily life.
The song also delves into the theme of dependency and the fear of separation. The repeated question, "How am I supposed to live without you?" and the admission, "I can't breathe without you," reveal the protagonist's deep emotional reliance on their partner. This dependency is further emphasized in the bridge, where the protagonist expresses that they come alive only when their loved one is by their side. The song captures the essence of a love so powerful that it blurs the lines between dreams and reality, night and day, and life and breath.
