$Dreams
Max Frost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Halos of diamonds dancing over your head
My eyes are silver lining lace in your bed
Chasing golden days
Here they come, here they come

You keep my satisfaction for yourself
I give you something real with no one else
You take the money
And I take you as you are

Tell me what you want
Don't you know that you got everything you need (oh, oh)
I wanna take it all
I could satisfy your dollar sign dreams (dollar sign dreams)

Walking on water to an island of sand
Drown in the fantasy as deep as you can
Weighted on your waist
Here they come, here they come

I'm just your dusty bottle up on the shelf
Wish I could realize your visions of wealth
You take the money
But I take you as you are

Tell me what you want
Don't you know that you got everything you need (yeah, yeah)
I wanna take it all
I could satisfy your dollar sign dreams (dollar sign dreams)

Franklin ain't no friend of mine
Tired of chasing your dollar signs
See your mink hit the marble floor
Keeps me coming back for more

Tell me what you want
Don't you know that you got everything you need (oh)
I wanna take it all
I could satisfy your dollar sign dreams (dollar sign dreams)

Tell me what you want
Don't you know that you got everything you need (everything you need)
I wanna take it all
I could satisfy your dollar sign dreams





Tell me what you want
Dollar sign dreams

The second verse portrays the singer as someone who desires to satisfy their partner's materialistic desires, even if it means sacrificing their own wants and needs. The line "You take the money, And I take you as you are" suggests that the singer is willing to put their partner's desires above their own, symbolizing the sacrifices people make in relationships.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of the American Dream, with the line "Walking on water to an island of sand, Drown in the fantasy as deep as you can".

Our obsession with material wealth and possessions is blinding us to the true value of our lives and relationships

Joe

I'm not sure why he's not famous, maybe he's making music the way HE wants to and not what Mainstream Music companys pay him to make. Contracts on creativity can be a soul draining experience...
