Dreams
Eve St. Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, here you go again
You say, you want your freedom
Well, who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully, to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
And what you lost
Oh, thunder, only happens when it's raining
Players, only love you when they're playing
They say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know
Now, here I go again, I see
The crystal vision
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me, who wants to
Wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering, what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Ooh, what you lost
Thunder, only happens when it's raining
Players, only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
Oh, thunder, only happens when it's raining
Players, only love you when they're playing
They say women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know




You will know
Oh, you'll know

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreams" by Eve St. Jones is a cover of the hit Fleetwood Mac song, written and performed by Stevie Nicks. The song is an emotional and introspective look at relationships and the feelings of loneliness and loss that often come with them. The first verse addresses a recent breakup, with the singer acknowledging that it is only right for their partner to want their freedom. However, they warn them to listen carefully to the sound of their loneliness because it can drive someone mad in the stillness of remembering what they had and what they lost. The second verse delves into the singer's own feelings of loneliness and their desire to wrap around their partner's dreams. They too have experienced the pain of loss and understand that it is only through experiencing the rain and being washed clean that you can truly know and understand the nature of relationships.


The song is musically driven by the steady beat of the drums and the gentle strumming of the guitar. The use of the word "thunder" evokes a sense of power and intensity, while the repeating chorus of "players only love you when they're playing" reminds us of the fickle nature of romantic relationships. The song has been covered by multiple artists over the years and remains a fan favorite due to its relatable themes and singable melody.
