The Song parallels to the movie


All my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

=
The interpretation of the movie is changing with every scene in every possible way. Sometime we think she is a cult leader, sometimes a cult patsy, sometimes a time traveler. All her life as we see it is changing depending on who looks at it and how you look at it. She is ambivalent, the movie is ambivalent. It's fluid and changing like the song says.

In all my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

=
The movie is never quite as it seems.

I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you

=
Falling for the cult leader, believing in time-travel

Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be

=
Changing into a cult follower, realizing you are getting converted into a new "way to be", to believe, perhaps realizing you have been duped.

I warn more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore

=
Can not resist the cult, wants to know more, want to know the back story of the time travel, want to know future events, want to know how the next level of the cult is unlocked (like the levels in Scientology)

They'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do

=
Telling yourself the story will come true, the civil war will come, you prepare to scavenge food.

Now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find

=
Needing the cult leader in your life, cult leader is in control, finding meaning that you couldn't find in the real world.

Totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me

=
Idolizing the cult leader

All my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way

=
chorus

And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

=
It's all fake, a dream.
