Don't you know me? Don't you know me by now?

I'm still having trouble coming up with an "original" topic, so I'll just keep on with the quotations. This one comes from a film I have referenced multiple times already, Before Sunrise. It's a poem that kinda took me by surprise when I heard it. I won't give my usual amateur analysis because I think the imagery and emotions are enough in themselves...if you like this sort of thing, anyway. Here's the actual clip with the words below:



Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me?
Don't you know me by now?
