Dream On
Dream On Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll stay up all night
Talking about a life
One that we'll never live
But one that will never die
And I
Buy
Into your every word
And what they could mean
Still you seem
Like just another day dream
But that's not enough for me
And that's all you'll ever be
I'm chasing a ghost once again
Beginning's the same as the end
Nothing has changed but the time
I'll never be making you mine
I wanted a place by your side
Wanted a place in your eyes
Wanted a place in your heart
I wanted a place in your life
I wanted a place by your side
Wanted a place in your eyes
Wanted a place in your heart
I wanted a place in your life
Did I deserve this
Or maybe I burned this down
Was it my overthinking
Or maybe your lack of response
Are you a fan of the nuance
Or am I a nuisance
Lost in the question
Without any answers
I'm slowly losing my head
It happened again oh it happened again
This time it hit a little different
Why are you so indifferent
I'm chasing a ghost once again
Beginning's the same as the end
Nothing has changed but the time
I'll never be making you mine
I wanted a place by your side
Wanted a place in your eyes
Wanted a place in your heart
I wanted a place in your life
I wanted a place by your side
Wanted a place in your eyes




Wanted a place in your heart
I wanted a place in your life

Overall Meaning

The song "Dream On" by We The Kings is about longing for someone who may not have the same feelings towards the singer. The lyrics describe a desire to be with someone, but they only seem to exist in the singer's head as a dream or ghost. The singer acknowledges the uncertainty of the situation and questions whether it's their fault or the other person's lack of responsiveness. Despite these doubts, the singer still yearns for a place in their love interest's life.


The song conveys the universal feeling of unrequited love, where the singer is left questioning whether they deserve to be in the other person's life or if they were too invested in something that never existed. The reference to "chasing a ghost once again" emphasizes the idea that the singer has been in this situation before and may be stuck in an ongoing cycle of disappointment.


The overall tone of the song is melancholic, but the chorus is repetitive, creating a sense of longing and hope for a place in the other person's life. The song's composition features soft guitar chords, clean vocals, and atmospheric synth sounds, contributing to the wistful nature of the lyrics.

Aerosmith - Dream On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, yeah

[Interlude]
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

[Verse 2]
Half my life's in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

[Bridge]
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on
Ah!

[Chorus]
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing with me, it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, oh, oh, oh
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's in books' written pages
Storing facts learned from fools and from sages
You view the earth
Oh, sing with me, this mournful dub
Sing with me, sing for a year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Oh, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, and sing for the tear
Sing it with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
I dream on
I dream on
Dream a little, I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I'll dream on
Dream on
Dream on
I dream on
