Q: A bit after the release of I'm A Princess, I realized the grammatical meaning of the 3rd verse (the one with the soldiers), and that, grammatically, "dreamed that it's ok" would refer to the soldiers doing the dreaming. I felt a bit disappointed when I realized this because to me it feels very strangely powerful to think of that line as disconnected from the previous lines in a songy sort of way, only being connected to the daydream line by a shared word, and perhaps referring to the narrator doing the dreaming. This interpretation also turns the previous lines from a sentence to just some relevant imagery, which also feels more powerful to me. Do you internalize that verse as one big sentence or as a series of disconnected lines? What did you intend?
A: i probably intended to find something better, but, i couldn't really figure out how to work the grammar to add up correctly and still get the sound i wanted. by the way, it's "i dreamed that it's ok" although the "i" is probably  not vocalized. You can put the phrase boundaries in two different places. the soldiers "make sure i'm lonely through the daydream", ... or ... "through the daydream, i dreamed that it's ok". Hopefully by the end you've gotten a bit of both
