Dream About You

Lloyiso's song 'Dream About You' is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the depths of love and commitment. The song opens with the artist recounting a dream where he sees his beloved in a white dress, symbolizing purity and a deep emotional connection. The imagery of being 'hooked to your smile' and the inability to deny his feelings sets the tone for a narrative of profound affection. The dream serves as a metaphor for his ideal vision of love, where his emotions are so intense that they bring him to tears, underscoring the sincerity and depth of his feelings.

The lyrics transition into a mix of English and Xhosa, a South African language, adding a layer of cultural richness to the song. Phrases like 'Andikwazi nokuzibamba' (I can't hold myself) and 'Intliziyo iyavuya' (My heart is happy) express an overwhelming joy and a sense of surrender to love. The repeated promise 'Ndiyathembis'ukuthi angeke ndikushiye' (I promise I won't leave you) highlights a vow of unwavering loyalty and commitment. This bilingual approach not only showcases Lloyiso's cultural heritage but also makes the song more relatable to a broader audience.

The song also touches on the influence of family and societal expectations. The line 'Umama wandiyala' (My mother warned me) suggests that the artist has received advice about love and life, yet he chooses to follow his heart. This defiance against 'nay sayers' and the declaration 'Wena ungowami' (You are mine) emphasize a personal resolve to cherish and protect his love, regardless of external opinions. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of his promises, encapsulating a message of eternal love and devotion.
