Dreams To Remember

what does this song mean? he has dreams of being with her to remember, to fight for in spite of seeing her with another guy? or he has bigger dreams, things he lived for before she came along ("girl you just satisfy me"-- just she ONLY satisfy and not exceed, like when doing all the requirements for a term paper will earn you a C?)

the fade out: "i've got dreams-- rough dreams! bad dreams!" -- throws me for more loops. the title is just such a big position to stake, and then it goes out in every direction.

when i was listening to otis redding and falling asleep on the g train i could see myself slithering, a slow dance that could be performed lying on a rug as well as standing. a dance in the pelvis and including all of the surfaces of my body, which have changed in texture since the last time i was listening this hard to this music, when i was "only sixteen"
