This introspective piece explores the concept of dreams as both a form of aspiration and an escape. Solange uses repetition to emphasize the long journey of dreams, suggesting that they often take time to realize or may not even come true at all. The line "they come un-, they come undone" implies the fragility and uncertainty of dreams. The second part of the song provides a more personal perspective, with Solange sharing her own dreams and fears. She oscillates between dreaming of success ("I go so high") and fearing downfall ("I'm going down, down"). This balance between hope and fear paints a realistic picture of pursuing one's ambitions, highlighting that dreams are not always straightforward or easy to achieve.
