Dream of Better Things
Aliceband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's ok but if you see my lover will you.
Pass it on that im sorry that im never there anymore.
I hope that everybody's happy now,
And good luck 'cause only half an hour ago I was,
Warmed up ready to just lie again in
The sun and close my eyes and just...
Dream of better things, dream of better things.
You feel I haven't taken all my chances,
We know it's not about who's
Listening, it's all about the perfect time,
And perfect people always lie...
Take me over, over and over again,
Over we go, over we go and now the world all know...
I lie because I can see now, I lie for better things.
Dream of better things, dream of better things.
Isn't it funny how, I have never figured out,
How we are falling down and cannot find the solid ground,
Isn't it pretty sweet, how you never miss a beat,
How I never lose my head, and how I never find my feet...
I sleep in a bed of roses, and I don't eat because I can't
This is wrong this is illegal, I am going straight to hell,
So I dream of better things.
The lyrics of Aliceband's song Dream of Better Things touch on different themes of regret, self-awareness, and the desire for a better life. The first verse highlights the guilt of the singer for not being present in their lover's life. They acknowledge that they are always absent and apologize through a third party. The chorus follows, which portrays the singer's longing for something different, something better than their current state. They wish to dream of better things, to escape the mundanity of their daily routine.
The second verse sees a shift in tone as the singer acknowledges their flaws. They ask for forgiveness, recognizing that they might have appeared arrogant and not taken chances that were presented to them. However, they also note that timing plays a crucial role in life. The third verse adds to this introspection, where the singer comments on their sleepless nights, lack of appetite, and the feeling of their actions leading them to hell.
Overall, the song Dream of Better Things is a reflection of a person's life filled with the monotony of everyday life, leading them to long for a more fulfilling existence. While they acknowledge their shortcomings, they are aware that these flaws are not what keeps them from the life they desire.

I've one hand whiter than the other and
I have one hand that is paler than the other but it's not a big deal
It's ok but if you see my lover will you.
It's fine but if you happen to see my partner, can you give them a message for me?
Pass it on that im sorry that im never there anymore.
Tell them that I'm sorry I'm not around as much as I used to be.
I hope that everybody's happy now,
I wish that everyone is content with their lives at the moment
And good luck 'cause only half an hour ago I was,
Good luck because just thirty minutes ago I was
Warmed up ready to just lie again in
Feeling comfortable and ready to lay down once more in
The sun and close my eyes and just...
The sunshine and just shut my eyes and simply...
Dream of better things, dream of better things.
Imagine a life of more desire and hope, think of something good.
If I came across as arrogant and,
If I seemed like I was full of myself and
You feel I haven't taken all my chances,
If you think I haven't taken all the opportunities I've been given
We know it's not about who's
It's a known fact that it's not about who
Listening, it's all about the perfect time,
Is listening, it's more about the most suitable moment
And perfect people always lie...
And people who seem flawless always deceive us...
Take me over, over and over again,
Just take me repeatedly and make me feel better each time,
Over we go, over we go and now the world all know...
We're moving forward and everyone is aware of it now.
I lie because I can see now, I lie for better things.
I tell lies because I know the real truth and I do it so that I can have a better life in the future.
Isn't it funny how, I have never figured out,
Isn't it ironic that I've never been able to understand
How we are falling down and cannot find the solid ground,
How we seem to be losing our way and can't seem to find a solid foundation
Isn't it pretty sweet, how you never miss a beat,
Isn't it nice how you always stay on track and never miss a thing,
How I never lose my head, and how I never find my feet...
How I don't get confused or flustered, yet at the same time I don't have a clear sense of direction or purpose...
I sleep in a bed of roses, and I don't eat because I can't
I may have a comfortable life but I still have my struggles, such as not being able to eat
This is wrong this is illegal, I am going straight to hell,
What I am doing is morally and legally wrong, so I feel like I am going to hell for it
So I dream of better things.
That's why I have hopes for a brighter future.
