SWEET DREAMS
Deepmaniak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
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
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
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

The song "Sweet Dreams" by Deepmaniak is a cover of the original song by Eurythmics. The lyrics of the song talk about the human search for meaning in life and the different ways people go about it. The lines "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" describe the different motives people have when interacting with others.
The chorus of the song, "Sweet dreams are made of this/ Who am I to disagree?/ I travel the world/ And the seven seas/ Everybody's looking for something" implies that everyone is searching for something, and the dreams that people have are a product of that search. The verses then further explore the different ways people try to achieve their desires, be it through using others or being used.
The song ends with the repeated chorus, emphasizing the message that everyone is searching and that everyone has their own version of what "sweet dreams" are. The overall message of the song can be interpreted as a call for empathy and understanding towards others who may have different approaches to life.
