Dream On
Gallagher Noel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The secrets you were meant to keep
You should've kept them in your head
But you let them out instead
Some of us need it sometimes
A dream is all I need to get by
Some of us need it sometimes
Some of us need it
You were talking 'bout the past
The days you said would never last
And now, the future's well behind
But I don't pay it any mind
Some of us need it sometimes
A dream is all I need to get by
Some of us need it sometimes
A dream is all I need to get by
Some of us need it
What for the love that got me so high?
Remember the days they made us feel so alive?
We're out on our own inside the city tonight
And tomorrow when the morning comes
I hope that you can walk it like you talk it, son
But now, the dream is over, the day is done
Say bye, bye
Bye, bye
Say bye, bye
La da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
What for the love that got me so high?
Remember the days they made us feel so alive?
We're out on our own inside the city tonight
And tomorrow when the morning comes
I hope that you can walk it like you talk it, son
But now, the dream is over, the day is gone
Say bye, bye
Bye, bye
Say bye, bye
A dream is all I need to get by
A dream is all I need to get by
A dream is all I need to get by
I was talking in my sleep
The secrets I was meant to keep
I should have kept them in my head
But I just let them out instead
La da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
La da da, la da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
The song "Dream On" by Gallagher Noel seems to be about the importance of holding on to dreams as a way of escaping reality. The lyrics depict someone talking in their sleep and revealing secrets they were supposed to keep to themselves. The artist suggests that sometimes it is necessary to keep these secrets in your head, implying that the reality of the situation might not be as desirable as the dream. The artist emphasizes the importance of dreams as a way of coping with hard times, stating that "a dream is all I need to get by."
The song then shifts to the past and the days when the person felt alive, but now the dream is over, and the day is done. There is a suggestion of disappointment and nostalgia for a better time. However, the artist ends the song by reaffirming the importance of dreams as being all they need to get by.
Overall, the song's theme seems to be about escapism and the role of dreams in helping people cope with life's challenges. It suggests that sometimes, it is necessary to hold on to our dreams to get through hard times and not to become too consumed with reality.

James Brittles
Oh me, oh my, I'm running out of batteries
I'm hanging from the ladder
The tears you cried are only meant to flatter me
That shit don't matter at all, taking the shots as I fall
Watching the wheels that go round and round
Serene in the air 'cause I love you lady
I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it out for me, shout it out for me, so come on now
One day at a time, I'm hiding from the razor blade
That's hanging in the kitchen
The kids are tired, they drunk up all their lemonade
The bitch keeps bitching and all, taking the shots as I fall
Wait for the wheels to come round and round
Serene in the air 'cause I love you lady
I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it for me, shout it for me, ohhh
Dream on, ohhh, 'cause it's got no meaning
Shout it for me, shout it for me
She go, la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I dream on, ohhh, 'cause that songbird singing
Shout it for me, shout it for me, ohhh
Dream on, ohhh, 'cause it's got no meaning
Shout it for me, shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me (come on)
Shout it for me (come on), shout it for me

FACT: GRIEF
It is written in your eyes
And all the things that you do
Each footstep as you run away
When words orf love are spoken to you.
It is written in the way you talk
Each thorn that strikes the way
As you fight and scream
With each tear that streams
But also in the way you walk,
It is written in the way you look
That frozen way that you stood and shook
Bringing a gentle smile to Ones lips
Before that tender and gentle kiss.
It is written in all the things that you do
In all those secret moments with you
Lost in the mists and shadows orf time
Our dreams forgotten, days once considered yours and mine.

well the funny thing about Noel Gallagher is he hates making music videos but all of his music videos are amazing. He is unique 💎
Espresso
He loves acting, I believe. I actually love when he acts tho. Need more of it!
GT380man
@Espresso I like it when he acts like he’s not acting at all.
In a way, he isn’t. His public persona is extremely minimalistic, show little or no emotion. When he was younger, he was gabby on behalf of his band. I knew it was an act, I know fellas like Noel. I loved that others took it all too seriously.
As an older man, he’s still very self contained in public. I’ve no idea what he’s really like.
