Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree?
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 abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
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 abuse you
Some of them want to be abused
I want to use you and abuse you
I want to know what's inside you
Movin' on (hold your head up)
Movin' on (keep your head up)
Movin' on (hold your head up)
Movin' on (keep your head up)
Movin' on (hold your head up)
Movin' on (keep your head up)
Movin' on
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody looking for something
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
I'm gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside
Gonna use you and abuse you
I'm gonna know what's inside you
The song "Sweet Dreams" by Marilyn and the Rouge, originally recorded by the Eurythmics, is all about people's desires and the different ways in which they seek to fulfill them. The "sweet dreams" that are spoken of are the things people long for or aspire to, and the lyrics maintain that everyone on the planet is searching for something. The line "Who am I to disagree?" suggests that the singer is open-minded and non-judgmental about these desires, implying that there's no right or wrong way to pursue them.
The next verse delves a little deeper, offering some insight into the ways in which these desires can manifest themselves. The lyrics suggest that some people want to use or exploit others in order to achieve their goals, while others want to be used or mistreated. While these desires might seem strange or unsavory, the lyrics imply that they are simply part of human nature and need to be acknowledged. The repetition of this verse adds emphasis to the idea that people are complex and often unpredictable in their behavior.
The final verse reveals that the singer also has desires of their own, and that they're not afraid to use and exploit others in order to fulfill them. The lyrics are written in a bold and unapologetic fashion, suggesting that the singer is aware of the negative connotations of these actions, but is willing to accept them anyway. The repeated chorus underscores the idea that everyone is looking for something, and that life is a never-ending quest for satisfaction.

It’s so cool seeing these two together on stage. Really awesome crossover. They occupy the same space in industrial metal, I’d love to see them collab on another project, maybe a full album, but perhaps with original music. That’s be pretty badass.
