****Sounds like: Beach House Trapped in a Lucid Dream****
I wrote and produced this song while I was coming down from getting off birth control, and you can DEFINITELY tell. It's very dark, very lucid-dreamy. These are the original demo vocals because I was in such a weird state of mind and couldn't replicate it's strangeness once I was recovered from getting off birth control.
Dream Angel is about loving someone but not needing to be someone's everything in life. I really hate songs that push forward the "I can't live without you" narrative because it's harmful for anyone in a relationship to think that. There are literal signs up in Planned Parenthood red flagging that shit as abusive behavior.
When you love someone, you should want them to see the world and be able to experience everything on this plane of reality—not just you.
lyrics
I like how you dance on the beach
It reminds of when I was little
You make me smile
And I feel loved when you think about me
Human
Human
Human
You're not a dream angel
You're just a human
You're not a dream angel
You're just a human
The way you look at me
I don't need to be all you ever wanted
There's so much here to love
And I want you to know everything
Human
Human
Human
You're not a dream angel
You're just a human
You're not a dream angel
You're just a human
You're not a dream
I'm a dream
You're not a dream
I'm a dream
You're not a dream
You're not a dream
I'm a dream
You're not a dream
I'm a dream
You're not a dream
