I dreamed a dream
Chess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When hope was high and life worth living
I deamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
But the tigers come at night
With voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dreamed he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So diffrent from this hell I'm living
So diffrent now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
The lyrics to "I Dreamed a Dream" are a representation of a woman's journey through life. The song reflects on a life that once held so much promise and hope, but ultimately ended up being a disappointment. The first verse is an introduction to the dream that was once had when life seemed to have so many possibilities. The second verse is a reflection on youth and the grandeur of dreams when time is on one's side. However, life ultimately takes over, and one tends to realize that there are certain realities that cannot be ignored. The allusion to the tigers coming at night represents that life may take a turn for the worse, and everything hoped for may be lost.
The third verse is about a lover who once filled the singer's life with joy and purpose but eventually disappeared. The singer still harbors hope that he will return, but she eventually realizes that it will not happen. The final verse is a reflection on the reality of life and the fact that things don't always turn out the way we hope. It ends with the notion that life is a tough battle, and dreams are fragile. They can be torn apart easily by the tigers that come at night or be destroyed by life itself.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
I had a vision of a better life in the past
When hope was high and life worth living
Back then, my optimism was unbreakable and life felt meaningful
I dreamed that love would never die
I envisioned a future where true love would be everlasting
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
I hoped that God's kindness and mercy would extend to me
Then I was young and unafraid
During that time, being fearless and innocent was my reality
When dreams were made and used and wasted
It was the period when every dream was worth pursuing, even if it ended up being unfulfilled
There was no ransom to be paid
I had no worries or fears holding me back, nothing to lose
No song unsung, no wine untasted
I didn't leave any stone unturned, I experienced everything that life had to offer
But the tigers come at night
However, obstacles and dark times inevitably appear unexpectedly
With voices soft as thunder
These obstacles can be crippling, even though they may not seem that menacing at first glance
As they tear your hope apart
They shatter your hopes and dreams and make them feel unachievable
As they turn your dreams to shame
These obstacles shake you from the core and make you feel shameful about your dreams
He slept a summer by my side
There was someone who brought happiness and excitement to my life for a season
He filled my days with endless wonder
He made my life feel like a magical wonderland
He took my childhood in his stride
He was with me during the carefree days of my youth
But he was gone when autumn came
However, like the changing seasons, he left when the good times came to an end
And still I dreamed he'd come to me
Even though he was gone, I still dreamed and hoped that he'd return
That we would live the years together
We would grow old together and create endless memories
But there are dreams that cannot be
Unfortunately, some dreams are simply unattainable no matter how hard one tries
And there are storms we cannot weather
Some obstacles in life are too great for us to overcome, no matter how strong we believe ourselves to be
I had a dream my life would be
I once had a vision of what my ideal life would look like
So different from this hell I'm living
But now, I'm stuck living a life that's completely opposite from my dream
So different now from what it seemed
My current reality couldn't be further away from my past expectations
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
Unfortunately, life's circumstances have destroyed the vision I once had of my ideal life
