Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody´s looking for something
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
Everybody´s looking for something
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
Everybody's looking for something
Claus Flid's song "Sweet Dreams" has a simple yet powerful message - everyone is looking for something, and sweet dreams are the ultimate goal. The repetition of the phrase "everybody's looking for something" emphasizes the universal nature of this search. The chorus "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" suggests that there is something universally desirable and attainable, regardless of individual beliefs or values. This is further emphasized by the lines "I travel the World and the seven seas," suggesting that the search for something is a global phenomenon.
The song also highlights the idea that people are always on the move, perhaps looking for this intangible something. The use of present continuous tense with "looking" and the parallel structure of "everybody" repeated through the chorus, reinforces the idea of a collective, ongoing search. The repetition of the chorus throughout the song creates a sense of unity and solidarity among listeners, regardless of background or circumstances.
Overall, "Sweet Dreams" is a catchy and thought-provoking song that speaks to the universal human experience of searching for something, whether it be material or spiritual.
