Dream Me Awake
Downtempo alt/dark-pop, 86–90 BPM, key B♭ minor / D♭ major palette. Breathy, intimate female vocal (close-mic, whispery verses, melodic choruses). Prominent synth bassline, driving drum-machine beat (strong kick & snare), atmospheric pads; light piano or plucked keys in verses. Spacious reverb; clean, modern mix. Motif: Subtly echo the contour of Franz Liszt’s Liebesträume No.3 (public-domain composition) in short 3–5-note hints and impressionistic chord colors (add9/maj7). No bar-for-bar quotes, no sampling of any recordings or modern editions; keep all performances/voicings original. Verse→Pre→Chorus form with brief instrumental break that builds tension; final chorus widens with stacked doubles and airy harmonies. Do: negative space, micro-dynamics, intimate delivery. Don’t: musical-theatre tone, EDM drop, heavy distortion.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Hallway light, a glass with fingerprints,
I fold the night and keep the corner in.
Breath on the window, letters in the steam—
say what you can, or say it in a dream.
Pre-Chorus
A handful of notes like a silver thread,
pulling me forward where the daylight bends.
Chorus
Say it in a dream, dream me awake;
hold me in the hush that echoes won’t break.
If love has a room between the dark and the day,
say it in a dream—dream me awake.
Verse 2
Footsteps fade, the stairwell counts in twos;
soft little rhythms I keep losing you to.
I pick up the shine that the evening left—
wear it on my pulse, wearing what is kept.
Pre-Chorus
A quiet figure rising over sleep,
three little sparks I promise I’ll keep.
Chorus
Say it in a dream, dream me awake;
hold me in the hush that echoes won’t break.
If love has a room between the dark and the day,
say it in a dream—dream me awake.
Bridge
Don’t speak loud—just breathe it near;
if morning won’t carry it, carry me here.
Final Chorus
Say it in a dream, dream me awake;
circle like a light I don’t have to chase.
If love remembers what daylight forgets,
say it in a dream—don’t let it fade.
Tag
Dream me—awake.
Verse 1
廊下の灯り、指紋が残るグラス
夜を折りたたんで、ページの隅を折るように仕舞い込む
窓にかかる吐息、曇りに描く文字
言えることだけでいい、それが無理なら夢で伝えて
和訳
Pre-Chorus
銀の糸みたいな、ひとにぎりの音の粒が
夜明けの光が射し込む方へ、私を導いていく
Chorus
夢の中で伝えて、夢で私を目覚めさせて
こだまも届かない静寂のなかで、私を抱きしめて
もし愛が、夜と朝の狭間に宿るものなら
夢の中で伝えて、夢で私を目覚めさせて
Verse 2
遠ざかる足音、階段に残る二人のリズム
その優しいリズムに、あなたをまた見失ってしまう
宵が残した光のかけらを拾い集めて
守ってきた想いと一緒に、脈打つこの身に纏うの
Pre-Chorus
眠りの向こうに浮かび上がる、静かなあなたの面影
三つの小さな灯火、私が守ると誓うから
Chorus
夢の中で伝えて、夢で私を目覚めさせて
こだまも届かない静寂のなかで、私を抱きしめて
もし愛が、夜と朝の狭間に宿るものなら
夢の中で伝えて、夢で私を目覚めさせて
Bridge
大きな声じゃなくていい、ただそばで囁いて
もし朝がその言葉をかき消してしまうなら、私をここに連れてきて
Final Chorus
夢の中で伝えて、夢で私を目覚めさせて
追いかけなくてもいい光みたいに、ただ巡っていて
もし愛が、朝の光が忘れさせたことも覚えているなら
夢の中で伝えて、どうか消えないで
Tag
夢で私を… 目覚めさせて。
