Talk:Just Like You Imagined

  • Edit

Could JLYI be the dream mentioned in Even Deeper?

Just a random thought here. For ages I've been thinking what JLYI is about. Has anyone thought of it being the dream mentioned in the 2nd verse of Even Deeper? You know:

In a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete—
And I still want to ruin it

There seems to be optimism, beauty & joy at the beginning of the song (JLYI), but it slowly changes into dissapointment and collapse (the final melody: ???? - A-A#-A-G - G-A-G-F). The outro could be waking up from the dream.

I know it's propably far-fetched, but there's basically nothing on this song anywhere on the internet (except for Alan Moulder saying it was his favorite from TF or something like that). I find it a bit weird, given how awesome this song is :-) The Kiw 15:50, 30 December 2010 (PST)

That "dream" may be Pilgrimage as well, and it may be continuation of WITT [you're the queen and i'm the king] and Fragile [we'll find a perfect place to go] too many possibilities BenAkenobi 08:53, 30 December 2010 (PST)

I feel it's not any song, but it's simply a statement - in a perfect world, he'd still want to destroy it, with whatever destroyed it in the imperfect world. sheepdean Try to speak as clearly as you can 09:07, 30 December 2010 (PST)
