Dream On
Eminem (ft. Aerosmith) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life's
In books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream until your dream come through
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on
Dream on, ah
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, 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, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
In the song "Dream On", Eminem and Aerosmith reflect on life, regrets and hopes. In the first verse, Eminem talks about how he sees the lines on his face getting clearer as he looks in the mirror. This is a reference to aging and the changes that come with it. He acknowledges that the past is gone and that everyone has dues to pay in life. This means that everyone must face the consequences of their actions, good or bad, and learn from them.
In the second verse, Eminem talks about how half of his life is in books and that he has learned from both fools and sages. This shows that he recognizes that learning can come from anywhere, even from those who do not appear wise. He notes that everything in life comes back to you, meaning that your actions have consequences and will come back to you eventually. The chorus is a call to action for the listener to "sing," to live life to its fullest, to embrace both the good and the bad times, and to follow their dreams.

Every time when I look in the mirror
Whenever I glance at myself in the reflective glass surface
All these lines on my face getting clearer
I see wrinkles and blemishes on my face increasingly vivid
The past is gone
The time elapsed before now has ceased to exist
It went by, like dusk to dawn
It vanished as swiftly as twilight transitions into sunrise
Isn't that the way
Don't you agree that it's typical
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
Everyone owes their share of the costs of subsistence to the world
I know nobody knows
I recognize the fact that no one possesses certain knowledge
Where it comes and where it goes
Where it originates from and where it departs to evade comprehension
I know it's everybody sin
I acknowledge that it is the transgression of all humanity
You got to lose to know how to win
To gain proficiency in succeeding, one must undergo losses
Half my life's in books, written pages
A significant portion of my existence amounts to reading written literature
Live and learn from fools and from sages
Extract knowledge from not only the wise but also the foolish
You know it's true, oh
You are acquainted with the veracity of this statement
All the things come back to you
Everything is eventually repaid or returned to its rightful owner
Sing with me, sing for the year
Join me in singing to honor the cycle of a whole year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing to amplify both the joyous and sorrowful emotions
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Accompany me in vocalizing even if the duration is only one day
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Perchance the following day, a higher power could claim your life
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Indeed, vocalize with me, paying tribute to an annual period
Dream on
Continue aspiring
Dream until your dreams come true
Keep visualizing until the aspirations materialize
Dream on
Continue aspiring
Dream on
Continue aspiring
Dream until your dreams come through
Envision until the longed-for objective becomes a reality
Dream on
Continue aspiring
Dream on
Continue aspiring
Dream on, ah
Continue aspiring until the goal is reached
Sing with me, sing for the year
Join me in singing to honor the cycle of a whole year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing to amplify both the joyous and sorrowful emotions
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Accompany me in vocalizing even if the duration is only one day
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Perchance the following day, a higher power could claim your life
Sing with me, sing for the year
Join me in singing to honor the cycle of a whole year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing to amplify both the joyous and sorrowful emotions
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Accompany me in vocalizing even if the duration is only one day
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Perchance the following day, a higher power could claim your life

Marhsall Mathers: Makes you cry
Sometimes his dark life story is very much related to us in the real life (about love, family, children, about the cruelty of the world, or about whatever it is)
Like the songs Mockingbird, When I'm Gone, Your Never Over, Going Through Changes, Sing For The Moment, Like Toys Soldiers, Rock Bottom, and many more..
FYI: That the Rock Bottom song was made when he had not met Dr. Dre & was not well known, it was said that when he made the song Em had thought about suicide but Em did not give up and Rap saved him so he can become what he is now
Slim Shady: Makes you laugh
Slim Shady is cast with a blonde man who is grumpy & sometimes makes us laugh but a little crazy, controversial words and the diss song is very cruel
Like the songs Nail In The Coffin & Bully (Diss Benzino & Ja Rule), Superman & The Warning (Diss Mariah Carey & Nick), The Real Slim Shady & Without Me (Diss Christina Aguilera, Limp Bizkit, & Moby), Cleanin Out My Closet (Diss his Mother), Leaving Heaven (Diss his Father)
FYI: The song Leaving Heaven was made by Em because he was very disappointed and hated his father because until his father died he did not give a good impression since Em was a child and Em also said he was too fucking coward to never see his grankids, Hailie and the other kids
Eminem: Make you Think
Eminem often makes songs to motivate many people or people who have felt like the life that Em lived
Like the song Lose Yourself, Not Afraid, Guts Over Fear, Beautiful, Beautiful Pain, Till I Collapse And More
FYI: Many people feel helped or excited after hearing the songs
Ohyaaa.. And one more thing, Marshall Mathers, Slim Shady, and Eminem It lives in the same body

I think Eminem's statement that "music is a reflection of self" is a powerful and thought-provoking one. It suggests that music is not just a form of entertainment, but also a way for us to express our innermost thoughts and feelings. Music can be a mirror to our souls, reflecting our joys, sorrows, hopes, and fears.
There is a lot of evidence to support Eminem's claim. For example, studies have shown that people's musical preferences are often linked to their personality traits. For instance, people who are open to new experiences tend to prefer music that is complex and varied, while people who are more conscientious tend to prefer music that is orderly and predictable.
Music can also be a powerful tool for self-expression. When we listen to music, we can connect with our emotions on a deep level. This can be cathartic and help us to process difficult experiences. Music can also be a way to express emotions that we may not be able to articulate in words.
Of course, music is not always a perfect reflection of our true selves. Sometimes we listen to music that is simply enjoyable, even if it doesn't reflect our deepest emotions. But even in these cases, music can still be a valuable source of entertainment and pleasure.
Overall, I believe that Eminem's statement about music is a valuable one. It reminds us that music is more than just entertainment; it is a powerful tool for self-expression and connection. Music can help us to understand ourselves better and to connect with others on a deeper level.
