Sweet Dreams
48th St. Collective Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.
Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something.

The song's verses delve deeper into the idea that people often use others to achieve their own goals, while some allow themselves to be used and others suffer from being taken advantage of. Still, despite the challenges and complexities of life, the singer remains optimistic, encouraging the listener to "hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on."
Overall, the song is a commentary on the human condition and the ever-present desire for fulfillment. Despite the ups and downs of life, the singer suggests that we should keep moving forward and hold onto our dreams.
