Dream

The song 'Dream' by LISA is a nostalgic reflection on a past relationship that still resonates in the protagonist's mind. The lyrics express the confusion and longing that arise after the end of a relationship, especially when there are unresolved issues. The mention of a 'night in Tokyo' suggests a significant event that marked the end of the relationship, leaving the protagonist with feelings of regret and uncertainty about the thoughts and feelings of the other person.

The song explores the idea that, although the relationship has ended, it continues to live in the protagonist's dreams. She describes how closing her eyes transports her back in time to the happy moments she shared with her loved one. This dream journey is a way to relive the past and find comfort, even if temporary, in memories that are 'real enough'. The repetition of 'like it was 2019' suggests a desire to return to a simpler and happier time before the breakup.

Furthermore, the song addresses the difficulty of moving forward when there are still unexpressed feelings and unanswered questions. The protagonist finds herself caught between the desire to reconnect and the reality that they may never be what they were again. The lyrics are permeated by a bittersweet feeling, and the hope for a reunion in dreams is contrasted by the acceptance that the past cannot be changed. 'Dream' is a song that captures the essence of nostalgia and the desire to relive lost moments, while dealing with the pain of the present.
