American Dream
L.A. Style Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君の不幸な知らせ
そう 誰かが君のこと
葬ろうとしている
小さな街から
銀幕のスターへと
踊りだす人々への 夢乗せて
金色の髪とハイヒール・シューズ
画面で笑っている
DREAMING DREAMING
愛し合えるまで
DANCE DANCE DANCE
言葉にならない声を聞かせてくれ
君と モンロー・ターン
DaDaDaDaDa
夜に噂が生まれる
誰かの思い過ごし
そう 自分に不利なこと
葬ろうとしている
憂鬱な朝から 歩きだす行列は
溢れ来る人々への レクイエム
止まらない夢と
ターン ターン ターン
ヒロインはいつも
暗闇 見つめてる
DREAMING DREAMING
二度と戻せない昨日
作り過ぎの台詞
理由を聞かせてくれ
君とモンロー・ターン
金色の髪とハイヒール・シューズ
ヒロインはいつも
画面で笑っている
DREAMING DREAMING
愛し合えるまで
DANCE DANCE DANCE
言葉にならない声を聞かせてくれ
君と モンロー・ターン
DaDaDaDaDa
The lyrics of L.A. Style's "American Dream" tell a story of ambition, success, and the dark side of fame. The opening lines describe the news of someone's misfortune and the knowledge of someone wanting to bury them. The lyrics then transition to the story of a small town person who becomes a silver screen star and dreams of taking audiences on an adventure. The song's protagonist is seen with golden hair and high heels, and always smiling on screen. She dances and dreams of love, while the world looks upon her in awe, and hears voices that cannot be put into words.
The second verse focuses on the rumors that swirl around the singer, people attempting to undermine her and ruin her career. The procession of people who seem to be on a never-ending journey ironically offers a requiem for the dreamers. The lyrics question the notion of what can seemingly never be stopped, also highlighting the pressure that comes with fame, the loneliness and isolation, and the temptation of fabricated realities, all of which exist in the American Dream.
Overall, "American Dream" speaks to the expectations of success and the price involved in chasing the dream. It presents a cautionary tale of wanting something so badly that the journey and its toll are often ignored for the sake of reaching the final destination.

Thanks for the upload and memories! I used to listen to LA Style back in university 1990s. Some really great tracks on this album. They really don't make good music or mixes like this anymore.
