Dreamland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Eriksson / Lundberg]

As the morning comes another night is gone
The sun enlightens the plains where victory was won

So many tales to tell how generations failed
To make this world go around without the sign of red
All of our lives we live and fight for our beliefs but what if we could find

A way to travel through time together
And see how long we would survive

So we could travel to hell or heaven
And make a difference for our sons, destiny

He used to be the so strong so proud of what he's done
His hair is gray so many medals he has won

He speaks about victory how many lives he's freed
He is a hero left with deadly memories

All of our lives we live and fight! for our beliefs but what if we could find

A way to travel through time together and see how long we will survive

If we could travel to hell or heaven and make a difference for our sons, destiny

DREAMLAND
No religions or prayers for salvation
DREAMLAND
No more death's caused by hate's devastation
DREAMLAND
Side by side people live in one nation
DREAMLAND
No one knows what the word means to cry

A way to travel through time together and see how long we will survive





If we could travel to hell and heaven and make a difference for our sons destiny

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Dreamland’s self-titled song set the scene for a reflection on life and the passing of time. The lyrics describe a morning coming, the sun bathing the plains and a sense of relief that victory has been achieved. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that this victory has come at a cost. The lyrics suggest that generations have failed to progress, and the world still has a sign of red. The song talks about fighting for one's beliefs but also reflects on the possibility of finding a way to travel in time, allowing us to see how long we could survive for. Dreamland is presented as a utopia, free from religion or hate, where people live together in one nation, and no one knows what it means to cry.


The song also discusses the idea of a hero, someone who has won many medals, but now has gray hair and carries with them the deadly memories of their battles. The second verse asks again what if we could find a way to travel through time, to hell or heaven, to make a difference for our sons' destiny? It seems to be asking what good the hero's victories are if the world has not moved on and still has hatred and violence. The song's message seems to be that we need to learn from history and past mistakes to create a better future, a dreamland.

And the flipside:


Pale shadows of my heroes help me rule the night,
Somewhere out there hear my people screaming "do it better"
I'm just an echo of the things I like


But Fox Stevenson really is unique, especially when it comes to this combination of style and lyrics.
