Dream On
Murs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my brand new old mercedes benz
You were standing by me
I was sitting on the front of the car
Waiting
Waiting for the night to come
We looked like cowboys
Though i hoped it's not the Brokeback Mountain scenario
We laughed, but…
You were standing
You were standing a bit too far
Your shirt was light
And your back was inviting
To lean closer
I've always hesitated
To follow the flow
Follow the flow
To show you my affection
And touch...
And touch
Then you started telling
Me something beautiful
It reminded me the most beautiful song
Of a bird
Like a poem
If you were Petrarka reborn
You said...
I wished to fall asleep in your arms
Not thinking
That there's a world tomorrow
And the longing
I've felt for so long
Has ended
Since you came into my world
It seemed to fix my holes
And make me whole
I wish I wouldn't think that much
And just let ourselves
Not to be named
Not having to call you mine
Just because...
Just because...
You are me
And then I said look
And pointed at a young moon
I said make a wish
And here I was standing
With my dream come true
Feeling complete and divine
The sky was vividly blue
And I was held
And held you in my arms
We were both magic
As if it was meant
To be in the stars
The song "Dream On" by Murs is a beautiful love song about two individuals on the road, sitting on the front of a brand new old Mercedes Benz. The opening line, "You and me on the road," signifies the beginning of a journey, an adventure, that they will embark on together. The singer expresses his hesitations to be vulnerable and show his affection towards the other person. He hopes that their relationship does not become a trope from the movie Brokeback Mountain. The lines, "Your shirt was light, and your back was inviting to lean closer," portrays his desire to be closer to the other person but feels skeptical to disclose his emotions.
The turning point of the song is when one person tells the other something "beautiful" that reminded him of the most beautiful song of a bird, like a poem. It stirred deep emotions within him, and he wished to fall asleep in her arms. From that moment, everything changed. The person who was hesitant to show their affection is now a dream come true, and he feels complete and divine in that moment. The sky was vividly blue, and they both were magic as if it was meant to be in the stars.
Overall, the song portrays the beauty of love and the journey two individuals can take together. It also signifies that love can come in different forms and that one should not be afraid to take risks and be vulnerable.

You and me on the road
The two of us are on a journey together
With my brand new old mercedes benz
We are traveling in my vintage car
You were standing by me
You were close to me
I was sitting on the front of the car
I was in the driver's seat
Waiting
We were anticipating something
Waiting for the night to come
We were waiting for it to get dark outside
We looked like cowboys
We were dressed like western characters
Though i hoped it's not the Brokeback Mountain scenario
I hoped that our relationship wouldn't be like the movie Brokeback Mountain
You showed me something silly
You shared something amusing with me
We laughed, but…
We found it funny, but there was something on my mind
You were standing
You were still next to me
You were standing a bit too far
You were maintaining some distance from me
Your shirt was light
You were wearing a light-colored shirt
And your back was inviting
Your posture was welcoming to me
To lean closer
I wanted to move closer to you
I've always hesitated
I have been unsure
To follow the flow
To let events unfold naturally
Follow the flow
Let things happen as they may
To show you my affection
To express my love for you
And touch...
To initiate a physical connection
Then you started telling
You began to speak
Me something beautiful
You said something lovely to me
It reminded me the most beautiful song
Your words reminded me of the loveliest song
Of a bird
Like the song of a bird
Like a poem
Your words were like poetry
If you were Petrarka reborn
If you were a reincarnation of Petrarch (an Italian poet)
You said...
You spoke these words to me
I wished to fall asleep in your arms
I desire to fall asleep while holding you
Not thinking
Without any worries or doubts
That there's a world tomorrow
Without concern for the future
And the longing
My deep desire
I've felt for so long
That I have been holding onto for a while
Has ended
Has come to a close
Since you came into my world
Since you came into my life
It seemed to fix my holes
You seemed to complete me in a way that was missing before
And make me whole
You made me feel complete and fulfilled
I wish I wouldn't think that much
I wish I wouldn't over-analyze things so much
And just let ourselves
To let go and enjoy the moment
Not to be named
Without any labels or titles
Not having to call you mine
Without needing to claim possession of you
Just because...
Without any particular reason
Just because...
Just for the sake of enjoying each other's company
You are me
We have a connection or understanding between us
And then I said look
I pointed out something to you
And pointed at a young moon
I directed your attention to a new moon
I said make a wish
I invited you to make a wish
And here I was standing
In that moment, I realized my dreams were coming true
With my dream come true
I felt as though I had achieved my aspirations
Feeling complete and divine
Feeling whole and spiritually uplifted
The sky was vividly blue
The sky was a bright, striking blue color
And I was held
I was embraced or held tightly
And held you in my arms
I was holding you closely
We were both magic
Together, we shared a special feeling or energy
As if it was meant
As if it was predestined or fated
To be in the stars
To be one with the universe
