Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dream, dream
Dream, dream

Damaged, do you see through the scream
Damaged, but I know I will survive
Damaged, but I guess I'll move on

Dream, dream
Live this life before your soul's a small grain, in the sky

Just keeping it, keeping it on, on, on
Just keeping it, keeping it on, on, on
Just keeping it, keeping it on, on, on
Just keep it, keep it, keep it on, just keeping it, keep anything

Dream, dream
Live this life before your soul's a small grain, in the sky

Damaged, do you see through the scream
Damaged, but I know I will survive
Damaged, but I guess I'll move on

Too many people, too many dreams now, too many dreams now
I'm gonna come back now, I've gotta come back now

Dream, dream, drea, yeah, dream
Live your life before your soul's a small grain in the sky





Dream, dream
Live your life before your soul's a small grain in the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Monte Carlo" by The Verve are open to interpretation, however, on the surface level, it conveys a message of resilience amidst brokenness. The first verse seems to recognize the sense of being damaged, but the singer hints that they will recover from whatever pain they feel. The following verse encourages the listener to live life fully because everything is fleeting, and one day our souls will be just a speck in the sky.


The chorus repeats the words "Dream, dream" as a reminder to keep striving for something better, to keep hope alive. The lines "Just keeping it, keeping it on, on, on" and "Just keep it, keep it, keep it on, just keeping it, keep anything" suggest that the singer is holding on to something, perhaps a dream, and not letting go no matter what.


The bridge signifies that there are too many people with too many dreams but the singer has to come back to reality. The song ends with the chorus, repeating once again that we should live our lives before our souls turn into small grains in the sky.
