Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
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 abuse 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
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse 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
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Chunda Munki and Holly Henry cover the classic 80s song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" originally performed by Eurythmics, the duo of Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart. The lyrics of the song are intriguing as they present a reflection on the human experience of searching for meaning and purpose in life. The opening refrain states "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" which immediately invites the listener to imagine what these "sweet dreams" might entail.
As the song continues, the lyrics describe a journey of exploration and travel, where the singer travels "the world and the seven seas" in search of something, alongside others also seeking out their own purpose. However, the chorus reminds us that not everyone has the same motives - some may wish to use or abuse others in pursuit of their goals. This adds a darker note to the song, highlighting the reality that amidst the search for meaning, there will be those who take advantage of others to achieve their own goals.
In response, the song urges the listener to "hold [their] head up" and keep moving forward, looking for their own path and ignoring those who seek to manipulate or discourage them. In this way, "Sweet Dreams" can be seen as a song about standing up for oneself and staying true to one's own values despite the challenges of navigating the world.
