Simplified Meaning:

This quote talks about staying in a place or situation that feels dreamlike or detached from reality. It’s like when you daydream or get lost in thoughts and forget about the real world. Imagine being underwater, in a beautiful place, but eventually, you have to come up for air and face reality again. In real life, this could be like spending too much time playing video games or scrolling through social media. It’s fun and relaxing, but you might miss important things happening in real life. The advice here is to enjoy those moments, but not let them take over your life. Balance is key – make sure you stay aware of what's happening around you and spend time with people and activities that make life meaningful.
