Glee Cast [feat. Kristin Chenoweth] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
In the stillness of remembering
What you had (lonely)
And what you lost (ooh)
And what you had (ooh)
Oh, and what you lost (ooh)
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
I 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 visions
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 (lonely)
And what you lost (ooh)
And what you had (and what you had)
Oh, and what you lost (and what you lost)
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
I say, 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
I say, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You will know
You will know
Hey, yeah, yeah, you'll know
The lyrics to Glee Cast's song Dream On are full of powerful imagery and emotion that tell the story of a person reflecting on their past and feeling the pain of their losses. In the beginning of the song, the singer tells someone they love that if they want their freedom, they should have it. They then encourage them to be true to themselves and follow their own path. This reflects a selfless love, that they are willing to let go if it means the other person will be happier.
The song then transitions to the singer reflecting on their own past and remembering their own losses. The line "listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness" captures the feeling of deep sadness and longing that can overwhelm a person in moments of solitude. The use of the metaphor "loneliness like a heartbeat drives you mad" emphasizes the intensity of these feelings.
The chorus repeats the idea that "thunder only happens when it's raining, players only love you when they're playing, and women they will come and they will go." These lines are a warning to the listener that some things are only temporary and will not last. Only the rain can truly cleanse a person and help them see things clearly.
Overall, the lyrics to Dream On are a powerful reminder of the importance of self-reflection, self-love, and forgiveness. The use of vivid imagery and metaphors make the emotions conveyed in the song more palpable, and the message is one that resonates with people of all ages.
