Dreams
Beck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on out of your dreams
And wake up from your reverie
Time is here don't go to sleep
Streets are running on the brink
They say that we've got nothing
But a dollar for a life of sin
'Cause there's trouble on the way
Oh there's trouble on the way
Get a dog and pony for a judgement day

Here we are
Running circles around around around around
When nothing's right just close your eyes
Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams dreams dreams d-d-dreams oh oh
She's making me high, she's making me high
Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
She's making me high I wanna get me free

Nothing gonna get me in my world

Now can these broken wings free me
About a light year from reality
If you want to fall in a dream
You could put the weight right onto me

Here we are
Running circles around around around around
When nothing's right just close your eyes
Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams, dreams, dreams, d-d-dreams ohoh
She's making me high, she's making me high
Dreams, dreams, dreams, d-d-dreams oh oh
She's making me high I wanna get me free

Nothing gonna get me in my world
Nothing gonna get me in my world

Ah, stop fucking with my dreams dreams yeah
Ah, stop fucking with my dreams dreams yeah
Ah, here we are

Running circles around around around around
When nothing's right just close your eyes
Close your eyes and you're gone

Dreams, dreams, dreams, d-d-dreams oh oh
She's making me high, she's making me high
Dreams, dreams, dreams, d-d-dreams oh oh
All day and all night, I wanna get me free

Nothing gonna get me in my world

I wanna get me free




Nothing gonna get me in my world
Nothing gonna get me in my world

Overall Meaning

In "Dreams" by Beck, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and escapism. The opening lines, "Come on out of your dreams and wake up from your reverie, time is here don't go to sleep," suggest a desire to break free from a state of stagnation or complacency. It encourages the listener to embrace the present moment and not let opportunities slip away. The line "streets are running on the brink" implies that the world is in a chaotic state, and there is a sense of impending trouble or danger.


The second verse introduces a character who is capable of making the singer feel "high" or euphoric. This person represents an escape from reality and a source of inspiration. The repetition of "dreams" in the chorus emphasizes the desire to be transported to a different realm, to experience something beyond the ordinary. It is a yearning for freedom and liberation from the constraints of the world.


The bridge of the song emphasizes the desire to hold onto this dreamlike state. The line "Nothing gonna get me in my world" suggests a determination to protect and preserve this elevated state of being. The final lines, "Stop fucking with my dreams, dreams, yeah," express a frustration towards anything or anyone that threatens to disrupt or undermine the dreamlike state.


Overall, "Dreams" is a song about seeking freedom, finding solace in dreams, and resisting anything that could hinder that escape. It portrays a yearning for something beyond reality, a desire to break free from the limitations of everyday life.


Line by Line Meaning

Come on out of your dreams
Stop living in a fantasy and face reality


And wake up from your reverie
Snap out of your daydreaming and be present


Time is here don't go to sleep
Don't waste time, take action and seize the moment


Streets are running on the brink
The world is chaotic and on the edge of collapse


They say that we've got nothing
Society perceives us as having nothing of value


But a dollar for a life of sin
Our worth is reduced to material possessions and immoral actions


'Cause there's trouble on the way
There are impending difficulties and challenges


Oh there's trouble on the way
Oh, trouble is definitely coming


Get a dog and pony for a judgement day
Try to appease others with superficial acts to mask our true selves


Here we are Running circles around around around around
We're caught in a never-ending cycle of aimless motion


When nothing's right just close your eyes
In times of chaos, escape and find solace in your mind


Close your eyes and you're gone
By closing your eyes, you disconnect from reality


Dreams dreams dreams d-d-dreams oh oh
Dreams have the power to take us away from our troubles


She's making me high, she's making me high
The fantasy or idealized person is intoxicating


Dreams, dreams, dreams, dreams
The repetition emphasizes the importance of dreams


She's making me high I wanna get me free
The desire to break free from the influence of the fantasy


Nothing gonna get me in my world
In one's own world, nothing can harm or affect them


Now can these broken wings free me
Can the shattered hopes and dreams liberate me?


About a light year from reality
Far removed from the harshness of the real world


If you want to fall in a dream
If you desire to fully immerse yourself in a fantasy


You could put the weight right onto me
I'll bear the burden of your dreams and desires


Ah, stop fucking with my dreams dreams yeah
Stop interfering with my dreams and aspirations


Ah, here we are
Here we are, stuck in the same cycle


All day and all night, I wanna get me free
Constantly desiring liberation from the fantasy


I wanna get me free
I long to break free from the constraints of the dream


Nothing gonna get me in my world
In my personal world, nothing can harm me


Nothing gonna get me in my world
Nothing can penetrate my inner sanctuary
