Sweet Dreams
• Marilyn Manson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody is looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I want to used you and abused you
I want to know what's inside
Moving on hold your head
Moving on keep your head
Moving on hold your head
Moving on keep your head
Moving on hold your head
Moving on keep your head
Moving on
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I gotta use you and abuse you
I gotta know what's inside
I gotta use you and abuse you
I gotta know what's inside you
The lyrics of Marilyn Manson's song Sweet Dreams seem at first to be a pleasantly mindless pop tune. However, the song includes an interesting undercurrent that offers a dark take on human interaction. The opening lines, "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" suggest that the desires of some people out there are not only universally acknowledged, but impossible to ignore or fight against. Anyone who has ever dreamed of something knows that feeling of being irresistibly drawn toward their hopes, no matter how unlikely they may appear. The notion of beauty and delight in dreams, as well as the idea of betrayals and abuses, gets woven into the work to create a puzzle-like, cryptic meaning that the listener must figure out by interpreting the lyrics.
The song's lyrics are open to numerous interpretations, and several have been suggested. Some view it as a commentary on the 1980s yuppie culture of greed and excess, while others view it as a commentary on the music industry itself. Some have connected it to the ideas of "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." There is a power struggle between the one who wants to use and manipulate someone else and the one who wants to be used and manipulated in return. Sweet Dreams is a song that critiques the modern culture of conflict, power, and deception. While bouncy and upbeat on the surface, it is a representation of modern life, a life full of fantasy, dreams, and corruption.
