Dandelions: inside the lyrics and their meaning
Dandelions is a sweet love song where a woman wishes the man she loves will be hers forever. She’s deeply in love with him, and the lyrics describe all her feelings and desires. In general knowledge, people blow dandelions to make wishes, and she uses this metaphor to express how much she wants him.
Most of the lyrics inside Dandelions are a love poem to her man, where the artist shows how much in love she is. They are the typical sensations you cannot explain because they lie deep in your heart and your inclination to love.
Maybe it’s the way you say my name
Maybe it’s the way you play your game
But it’s so good, I’ve never known anybody like you
But it’s so good, I’ve never dreamed of nobody like you
But Ruth B. is sure: this is the love of her life. She feels it deep inside her, and she identifies it as that unique experience that happens once in a lifetime if you are lucky:
And I’ve heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I’m pretty sure that you are that love of mine
That’s why she is in the dandelions field: the singer is not sure yet that he returns the same feelings and intensity, so she wishes that he fully returns the love she feels, that he’s the right one. That’s what she says in the chorus:
‘Cause I’m in a field of dandelions
Wishin’ on every one that you’d be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
What Ruth B. describes are the typical sensations you feel when you are in love. We tend to believe they are unique and represent a clear sign that we are in front of the love of our life. However, as studies describe, most of the crushes we have in life feel precisely the same: they are those intense feelings, the “butterflies in the stomach,” needed to get closer to the person we are in love with and get to know them better. That phase lasts for a limited period; after that, real love comes as a set of feelings that also include awareness and conscious choice.
After all, analyzing the lyrics inside Dandelions, the meaning is clear: Ruth B. is deeply in love, and she wishes that’s the love of her life. She’s enjoying the beauty of those feelings and sings about hope and joy.
The song was written in 2017. We don’t know if Ruth B. is still dating the guy she was in love with, as she keeps her private life out of public news.
