Dream On
Meduza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mentally molded
Slaves with invisible chains
Your salvation in labour
Victims of the grand illusion

[Pre-Chorus:]
Prophets of economy
Preaching the only truth
Live your life in ignorance
Stay in line don't be fool
We keep you slumbering
With drugs and cable TV
So sleep, sleep, sleep...

[Chorus:]
Dream on - Dream on

Kingdom of corruption
Realm of bribery and crime
There's no limit to what we'll do
Living life by our own laws

[Pre-Chorus:]
Prophets of economy
Preaching the only truth
Live your life in ignorance
Stay in line don't be fool
We keep you slumbering
With drugs and cable TV
So sleep, sleep, sleep...





[Chorus:]
Dream on - Dream on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Meduza's song Dream On are a commentary on the current state of society and the way that those in power manipulate and control the masses. The first verse speaks of people being mentally molded and enslaved by invisible chains, highlighting the idea that we are taught what to think and how to behave by those in positions of authority. The second line speaks to the idea that we are told that our salvation comes through hard work, but in reality, we are simply victims of an illusion, working to perpetuate a system of inequality that benefits the few at the expense of the many.


The pre-chorus and chorus repeat the same message, calling out the prophets of economy who preach the only truth and keep us slumbering with drugs and cable TV. The chorus encourages us to dream on, implying that our dreams are the only real escape from the corruption and bribery that we are surrounded by.


Overall, the lyrics of Dream On are a call to wake up and recognize the ways in which we are being controlled and manipulated by those in power. It's a reminder that we have the power to dream and to fight for a better world, but that we need to be aware of the forces that are trying to keep us in line and asleep.
