She dreams in color, she dreams in red...

[edro]

What does this mean? "She dreams in color, she dreams in red."

She dreams in anger? I have always wondered. Either way, I love that song.

never try to figure out what an english songwriter means, you'll just end up in a coma.

Ugh, I liked that song at one point, before it played 3 bajillion times on the radio.

Pearl Jam is a British Band. I'm assuming he's British. (I don't keep up with bands as much as others, feel free to correct my non-interest)

Yeah, I always thought that "she dreams in red" was an allusion to blood and violence.

Well it's pretty obvious if you listen to the lyrics:

Waitin?, watchin? the clock, it?s four o?clock, it?s got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over...
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she?s in love with him, can?t find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can?t find a better man...
Can?t find a better man (2x)
Ohh...

Talkin? to herself, there?s no one else who needs to know...
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along...
Swears she knew it, now she swears he?s gone
She lies and says she?s in love with him, can?t find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can?t find a better man...
She lies and says she still loves him, can?t find a better man...
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can?t find a better man...
Can?t find a better man (2x)
Yeah...

She loved him, yeah...she don?t want to leave this way
She feeds him, yeah...that?s why she?ll be back again
Can?t find a better man (3x)
Can?t find a better...man...
Ohh...ohh...
Uh huh... (5x)
Ohh...

The woman is practicing what she's gonna finally say to the prick who's beating her, but like many victims of domestic abuse, she cant do it and just pretends to sleep when he comes home late at night.
