Goodnight Sweet Dreams
Isham Jones And His Orchestra Lyrics
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
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
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.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
The song "Sweet Dreams" by the Isham Jones And His Orchestra is a classic that explores human nature through its lyrics. The opening line "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" sets the theme of the song that everyone is on a quest to achieve something. The line "I travel the world and the seven seas" suggests that the quest is not limited to any particular region or geography. The song invokes a sense of shared experience, where every human is searching for something.
The lyrics then take a darker turn, with the lines, "Some of them want to use you, some of them want to get used by you, some of them want to abuse you, and some of them want to be abused." These lines indicate that not everyone is on a noble quest, some may have malicious intentions. The lyrics suggest that the world is full of people with different agendas, and one must be cautious not to get taken advantage of.
The song encourages listeners to keep moving forward, to not give up despite the obstacles thrown our way. The lines "Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on" suggest that we must never let our struggles weigh us down. It is a song about perseverance and resilience.
