Lyrically, You Dream unfolds like a fleeting thought, abstract yet deeply emotive:

“Alive and in / The troubles fenced in.”

These opening lines set the tone for the song, an internal battle between feeling alive and feeling trapped. There’s a tension between presence and distance, between being in the world and being walled off from it.

“Today your room / Was tasting like you / And a love so let me / And allow.”

Here, the lyrics paint a sensory moment, intimate, yet slightly surreal. The idea of a room “tasting” like someone blurs the line between memory and experience, as if trying to grasp a presence that lingers but remains just out of reach.

“Inside you dream for moments unseen / To call the sky / And keep us alive.”

This passage captures the heart of the song: a longing for connection and meaning, even within the weightlessness of a dream. There’s a sense of holding onto something intangible, reaching for something beyond the self.

“And alone said you / Was tasting it too.”

The closing moments leave the listener in an ambiguous space, was this connection real, or just imagined? Did someone else feel it too, or was it only in the dream? This uncertainty lingers as the song fades, mirroring the fleeting nature of presence itself.

“This song is a snapshot of feeling truly present in a way that’s often elusive for me,” SJ shares. “It’s about those rare moments where everything feels safe, even when the world feels unreal.”

With its dreamlike atmosphere and intimate lyricism, You Dream offers listeners a deeply personal glimpse into SJ’s sonic world. The single is available now on all streaming platforms.
