Sweet Dreams
Eurythmics Lyrics

Sweet dreams are made of this
This world that we live in is full of dreams, which can take various forms, and everyone is trying to chase their own dreams.

Who am I to disagree?
I'm just an individual in this big world, and I have no right to challenge or judge someone else's dreams.

I travel the world
I have been all over, seen the different parts of the world, and experienced what people want or need.

And the seven seas
I've been to the farthest corners of this planet, even crossed the largest bodies of water and seen how different cultures live.

Everybody's looking for something
All of us, regardless of our backgrounds, are searching for something or someone that can fulfill our desires or make us happy.

Some of them want to use you
Not all people have pure intentions, some want to exploit or take advantage of you for their own gain.

Some of them want to get used by you
On the other hand, some people willingly let themselves be used or exploited by others because they think it's what will lead them to their own dreams.

Some of them want to abuse you
Unfortunately, there are also people who want to cause harm or mistreat others, whether for pleasure or power.

Some of them want to be abused
And some people, for whatever reason, may find it desirable to be mistreated, which is a sad reality that exists in our society.

Hold your head up
No matter what happens, keep your chin up and face the challenge head-on.

Keep your head up, movin' on
Pick yourself up and keep moving forward, no matter how hard it gets.

Sweet dreams are made of this
Reiterating the opening line to remind us that in this world full of challenges and difficulties, everyone has their own dreams and aspirations to pursue.

Who am I to disagree?
A reminder that every dream is valid, and it's not right for anyone to judge or criticize someone else's dreams and aspirations.

I travel the world
An acknowledgement that the singer has gained perspective and insight by seeing different parts of the world and the different dreams that people pursue.

And the seven seas
The singer reinforces their message that they have seen a lot and that this experience adds to their understanding of the world.

Everybody's looking for something
An affirmation that people are driven by their desires and needs, which motivate them to pursue their dreams, whatever they may be.

Sweet dreams are made of this
The repetition of the chorus drives home the central idea of the song- that everyone has their own dreams, and it's up to them to fulfill them.

Who am I to disagree?
Another reminder that this is not about the singer's personal opinion or judgment, but instead is an acknowledgment of the universal truth of human desire to pursue their dreams.

I travel the world
This is repeated to emphasize the singer's experience and understanding of the world and of the different dreams that people pursue.

And the seven seas
The repetition of this line reinforces the idea that the singer has been to many distant corners of the world, emphasizing their perspective on the universality of human dreams.

Everybody's looking for something
A final emphasis on the idea that everyone has their own individual dreams and aspirations that motivate them to keep searching so that they can find their own meaning.
