Chasing Dreams
Goodluck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been running, chasing dreams
Had my fingers wrapped around these sunbeams
Now I'm certain, yes I'm sure
You are only alive if you want something more

Trust that feeling, deep inside
Your heart speaks louder than the reasons why
You will go there, come with me
Just don't look down
You are free
You are free

You are free, are free
You are free
You are free, are free
You are free, free, free

I've been thinking to myself
Why would I live my life through that of someone else
When I know it, if I dream
I know the world outside will give me what I need

Oh that feeling, deep inside
Your heart speaks louder than the reasons why
You will got there, come with me
Just don't look down
You are free
You are free

You are free, are free
You are free (are free)




You are free, are free
You are free, free, free

Overall Meaning

In Goodluck's song Chasing Dreams, the lyrics describe a journey of self-discovery and realizing that the pursuit of one's dreams is a worthwhile endeavor. The opening lines state that the singer of the song has been "running, chasing dreams," and has "had [their] fingers wrapped around these sunbeams," suggesting that the pursuit of their goals has been both exciting and elusive. However, as the song progresses, the lyrics become more optimistic and assertive, declaring that "you are only alive if you want something more." The sentiment here is that the pursuit of one's dreams is what gives life meaning and purpose.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You are free," which can be interpreted in several ways. First, it can be seen as an affirmation that the pursuit of one's dreams is a freeing experience that allows individuals to express their true selves. Second, it can be seen as a statement of encouragement to those who may feel constrained by societal norms or expectations, urging them to break free and pursue their passions. Finally, it can be seen as a reminder that we all have the power to choose our own paths in life and that we are free to create our own destinies.


The overall message of the song is one of empowerment and self-discovery. The lyrics encourage listeners to trust their own intuition, follow their hearts, and pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.
