Dreamin'
Don DiLego Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a bible in the road
And it's open to the world
You can read it for yourself
Then tell me what it's all about
Tell me what do you think
Then put it back on the shelf
Turn on the radio, turn on the radio
Cause there's something in the air
You said that you were only dreaming
But I say, you've never been awake
And until you open your eyes
Well then you might be surprised
To find me on my way

There's a speaker in the road
Who's preaching to the world
You can listen for yourself
And tell me what he's talking about
So how much would it take
To get you to think for yourself?
Turn on the radio, turn on the radio
Cause there's something's in the air
You said that you were only dreaming
But I say, you've never been awake
And until you open your eyes
Well then you might be surprised
To find me on my way

Turn on the radio
Cause there's something on the air
You said, that you were only dreaming
But I say, you've never been awake
And until you open your eyes
Well then you might be surprised
To find me on my way




Yeah, you'll find me on my way
Yeah, you'll find me on my way

In "Dreamin'" by Don DiLego, the lyrics imply a message about self-reflection, independent thinking, and breaking free from apathy. The song urges the audience to read the Bible, listen to the singers on the road, and question what they hear to form their opinion and develop individuality.


The phrase "you said that you were only dreaming, but I say, you've never been awake" seems to be a call to wake up from the slumber of conformity and start thinking for oneself. The singer is inviting the listener to break the bonds of conformity and apathy and to find the courage to pursue individual paths.


The line "turn on the radio, 'cause there's something in the air" suggests that there is a need to pay attention to the things happening around us, and this could mean breaking from the world's ordinary routines to embrace change, truth, and new ideas. By opening one's eyes and mind, they might "be surprised to find me on my way," which means finding themselves starting to make their own individualistic choices.


Overall, Don DiLego uses "Dreamin'" to encourage everyone to break free from the mundane, to seek truth, and to find their individual paths in life. By listening to various voices around us and learning to think for themselves, we can avoid blindly following the masses and create our unique futures.
