Still Dreaming

Raveena's 'Still Dreaming' is a poignant exploration of love, time, and the desire to hold onto fleeting moments. The song opens with a sense of urgency and futility, as the protagonist hides in their room, grappling with the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The mention of 'amphetamines' and 'stars' suggests a nocturnal, almost surreal existence, where the lovers are trying to make the most of their time together, despite the pressures and distractions of the outside world.

The chorus reveals a deep yearning to preserve the feeling of being in love, encapsulated in the desire to 'freeze time.' This metaphor speaks to the universal human wish to capture and hold onto moments of happiness and connection. The repetition of 'could you forever be mine?' underscores the uncertainty and fragility of love, as well as the hope that it can transcend time and remain eternal. The imagery of sleeping in each other's arms and 'still dreaming' evokes a sense of comfort and intimacy, highlighting the dreamlike quality of their relationship.

As the song progresses, Raveena touches on the theme of growing older and the changes that come with it. The lines about watching everyone leave New York and finding closure suggest a backdrop of transition and the search for stability. Despite these changes, the protagonist's commitment to their lover remains steadfast, as they express a willingness to chase them across the globe to maintain their connection. The song closes with a repeated affirmation of 'still dreaming,' emphasizing the enduring nature of their love and the hope that it can withstand the test of time.
