Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see it in your eyes
I feel it in the air tonight
Once I get you in my sight
I'ma sing you a lullaby
Mama now don't you cry
Your baby boy's gonna be alright
I'll see you on the other side
The pain never goes away
So you gotta take your medicine every day
Keep going up a dose just to stay sane
But it's not working so I gotta find a way
To stop the voices
Inside my head
So many noises
Think they want me dead
I hear em coming
Don't know how to stop em
Can't live with em
Never been without em
They want my life
And it's my decision
I either give it over
Or they take it with em
Don't wanna be a coward
But there's no other way
Guess I saw the sun
For the last day
Let me sing you a lullaby
I can see it in your eyes
I feel it in the air tonight
Once I get you in my sight
I'ma sing you a lullaby
Mama now don't you cry
Your baby boy's gonna be alright
I'll see you on the other side
The lyrics to D.J. Scott & Lorna B.'s song Sweet Dreams describe a feeling of being completely captivated by someone. The use of metaphors reflects the singer's inability to control their emotions as they compare their love interest to mist in the morning and themselves to an overflowing ocean. The upbeat tempo and repetition of the phrase "sweet dreams" create a sense of euphoria and infatuation, while the mention of waves and rolling represent the uncontrollable emotions that this person is experiencing. The singer is caught in a haze of confusion and passion, unable to resist their attraction to this person. The lyrics seem to suggest that the singer is surrendering themselves to this love, allowing their emotions to be driven by the rhythm of the beat.
