1)The Dream Warriors … Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists known as Dream Warriors:
1)The Dream Warriors are King Lou and Capital Q (aka The Quiet Storm), a pair of Toronto, Canada-based alternative rappers.
2) A metal band from Honduras.
1) They formed in 1988 and released the jazz rap LP And Now, the Legacy Begins in 1991, which was critically acclaimed and sold well in Canada and the United Kingdom. The album spawned the hit single "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", which featured a prominent sample of Soul Bossa Nova by Quincy Jones which originally appeared on his 1962 LP Big Band Bossa Nova and was also the theme music to the Canadian game show Definition.
The 1994 follow-up, Subliminal Simulation, received mixed reviews, and has since been forgotten by some and named a cult favourite by others; it featured guest vocals by Ishmael Butler of Digable Planets (on the track "Tricycles and Kittens"), and Guru and DJ Premier contributed to two different versions of the song called "I've Lost My Ignorance (and Don't Know Where To Find It").
Their most recent album, 1997's The Master Plan, was poorly received and did not sell well, but they made an appearance in 1999 for The Herbaliser on the track "Road of Many Signs."

Dream Warriors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's the year two thousand
Well it's the year two thousand
Well it's the year two thousand
Ninety has ended
Those who pretended
Now it is time for all
My noise organizes internets like protocal
Now it all makes sense
Now it all makes sense
'Cause we are all warriors
I'm indiscreet like H20 inside air
'Cause you don't see me, doesn't mean that I'm not there
I'm not there
I'm not there
I'm not there
I'm not there
You need no eyes, I rob those like the eclipse
As you now pay attention to the end apocolypse
Pick a my, peel a my, pring a my foe
You discover now what we let go
The way your toys hear, they will help you not
The beads and guns are of a far-kind forgot
You are now intune
You are now intune
You will now stay tuned to my new lyrical pen strike
Blows as it grows like the balance changing
Resembling too that of a slow explosion
For hate runs deep inside the souls of city men
That must die with swords inside the souls of city men
I place love deep inside the souls of city men
Men, city men serenades of violence
To forever be sung on the tounge of basteon
The song "dreamwarriors.com" by Dream Warriors starts off by saying "Well it's the year two thousand," which at the time of the song's release (1996) was still a few years in the future. The lyrics suggest that with the end of the decade, it's time for those who have been pretending to finally face the truth. The singer then talks about how their noise organizes internets like protocol, suggesting that their own voice and message will help to make sense of the chaos in the world. The repeated line "Now it all makes sense" reinforces the idea that the truth is finally being revealed and understood.
The metaphor of the singer being like H20 inside air suggests that although they may not be immediately visible, they are always present and cannot be ignored. The mention of the eclipse further emphasizes this idea, as the singer suggests that they are capable of hiding in plain sight. The lyrics also mention toys and beads and guns, suggesting that there are things that people hold onto that are no longer useful or relevant.
