SWEET DREAMS
Anthony Miles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?
You don't love me and it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you my whole life through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Why can't I forget you, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?
Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through
Why can't I forget you & start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you?
You don't love me & it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name
I should hate you my whole life through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
The lyrics of Anthony Miles's song Sweet Dreams portray the struggle of a person who is unable to forget their former love interest. The singer describes how every night they go through the same experience of having sweet dreams about their ex-partner, and they wish to start their life anew without thinking about them. The singer acknowledges that their former lover doesn't love them back and will never wear their name, yet they cannot help but dream about them every night. Despite the realization that they should move on and hate them, the singer can't seem to let go of their feelings and dreams about them consistently.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has gone through a break-up and found it difficult to move on. The singer's struggles remind us that the healing process takes time and that it's okay to feel lost and confused even after acknowledging that the relationship is over. It's not easy to let go of someone we once loved deeply, and even when we know it's for the best, our hearts may not be ready to move on.
