Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up

The song "Sweet Dreams" is an iconic 80s synth-pop classic originally performed by the British band Eurythmics, and it was famously covered by Eminem in his "Hellbound" song in 2005. The lyrics of the song talk about how everyone is searching for something in life, and how they can be exploited by others in the process. The singer reflects on the fact that sweet dreams are not just a state of mind that everyone wants to achieve, but also that people can be taken advantage of in their pursuit of happiness.
The chorus "Sweet Dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" is a rhetorical question that suggests that life is full of contradictions and that there is no one right answer or path to take. The singer is suggesting that despite all the uncertainty, people should keep moving forward and holding their heads high. The lines "Some of them want to use you, some of them want to be used by you, some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused" reveal that there are different motivations behind each person's search for something, and some of those motivations may be harmful to others.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sweet Dreams" are thought-provoking and remind us that the pursuit of happiness may not be as simple as we think. It is a timeless song that has transcended generations and continues to inspire people.
