Lirik Lagu Dream - Lisa BLACKPINK, Diduga Bahas Masa Lalu

I've been thinking
That I got no idea what you're thinking
Are you happy? Are you sad?
Are you always gonna hate me for that night in Tokyo?
When it ended, I kinda hoped that it'd be open-ended
But you never looked back
Well, I guess you can't hold on to something once you let it go

But I know a place where we can be us
I know it ain't real, but it's real enough
From sun going down to sun coming up
It's like you're here with me

Whenever I close my eyes
It's taking me back in time
Been drowning in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missing you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is all that we'll ever be
It's bittersweet
At least a girl can dream

I guess that I'm taking what I can get
'Cause I don't get nothing new from your friends
If you got the harder side of the break
Then why is it harder for me to take?
There's so much I might never get to say-ay

But I know a place where we can be us
I know it ain't real, but it's real enough
From sun going down to sun coming up
It's like you're here with me

Whenever I close my eyes
It's taking me back in time
Been drowning in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missing you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is all that we'll ever be
It's bittersweet
At least a girl can dream

I know it's only in my mind (Ooh)
Playin' three nights on the stereo
Like a movie scene, DiCaprio
Oh, I put my makeup on just to fall asleep (Ah)
It's like you're here with me

Whenever I close my eyes
It's taking me back in time
Been drowning in dreams lately
Like it's 2019, baby
Whenever I'm missing you
Call you up, but I can't get through
Don't know where you sleep lately
But I'll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is something we'll never be
It's bittersweet
Can we be friends at least?

Lagu "Dream" dari Lisa BLACKPINK ini mengungkapkan kerinduan akan hubungan yang telah berakhir. Liriknya menggambarkan bagaimana seseorang tersebut merenungkan momen atau kenangan masa lalu dan berharap agar semuanya berubah secara berbeda.

Ia kemudian melarikan diri ke dalam mimpi di mana mereka bisa bersama lagi, meski itu hanya dalam pikirannya. Kenyataan ini terasa pahit, karena ia tahu itu semua hanya fantasi, tapi bisa menawarkan kenyamanan untuk melepas rasa rindu.

B-side track "Dream" dalam album solo barunya Alter Ego baru-baru ini menjadi perhatian warganet di media sosial yang bertanya-tanya apa yang terjadi di Tokyo, Jepang. Liriknya diduga merujuk pada hubungan asmara Lisa BLACKPINK yang kandas di masa lalu.

Selain menyebutkan Tokyo secara spesifik, pemain serial The White Lotus 3 ini pun merujuk pada kejadian di 2019. Warganet menduga ini tentang kisah romansanya sebelum bersama Frédéric Arnault. Namun, Lisa tak pernah mengonfirmasi tentang siapa sosok dalam lagu ini.

Sementara beberapa orang berspekulasi terkait sosok tersebut, yang lain hanya terkejut melihat betapa terbukanya para member BLACKPINK soal hubungan masa lalu mereka. Rosé juga sempat membahas kisah asmaranya lewat album solonya rosie, lho.
