40 Day Dream Lyrics

I been sleepin' for 40 days and
I know I'm sleeping 'cause this dream's too amazin'
She got gold doorknobs where her eyes used to be
One turn and I learned what it really means to see

Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die

Oh I've been sleepin' for 60 days and
Nobody better pinch me
Bitch I swear I'll go crazy
She got jumper cable lips
She got sunset on her breath now
I inhaled just a little bit
Now I got no fear of death now

Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die

Ah ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Ooh, ah ah, ah ooh ah ah, ah
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah

Ah, it's the magical mystery kind
Ah, must be a lie
Bye bye to the too good to be true kind of love
Oh, I could die
Oh now I can die

What is the Meaning of 40 Day Dream?

Exploring the interplay between dreams and reality, this song delves into the transformative power of love and perception. The protagonist's prolonged sleep symbolizes a state of heightened consciousness where he experiences an extraordinary vision of love, described through surreal imagery such as "gold doorknobs" for eyes and "jumper cable lips." These metaphors suggest that this love has awakened him to new ways of seeing and feeling. However, the repeated refrain "must be a lie" introduces a tension between the dreamlike euphoria and the skepticism about its authenticity. Ultimately, the song captures the bittersweet essence of an idealized love that feels too perfect to be real but is profoundly life-altering nonetheless. #DreamVsReality #TransformativeLove
