Sweet Dreams
Nez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled 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?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Oh, yeah.
Oh, ah, ah, ah.
Ooooooh.

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up
Moving on

Hold your head up
Moving on
Keep your head up

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled 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

Overall Meaning

In Nez's song, "Sweet Dreams", the lyrics reflect the human search for fulfillment and happiness. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" suggesting that there is a collective human desire for something greater than what we currently have, and this desire is something that everyone is seeking regardless of their background, social status or culture. The phrase "sweet dreams" can be interpreted to mean that these desires are something that we strive for but can never fully attain. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, as if the singer is reminding us that this is a universal phenomenon.


The verse then speaks of the singer's own travels around the world, suggesting that this desire for more is a universal truth. It then goes on to state that "everybody's looking for something," which again reinforces the idea that this search for happiness and fulfillment is something that is common to all of humanity. The final verse zooms in on the different ways that people try to achieve this happiness, some by exploiting others and some by allowing themselves to be exploited. This alludes to the idea that sometimes people can lose themselves in the pursuit of their dreams, and that this can be a dangerous path to follow.


Overall, "Sweet Dreams" by Nez is a reflective and insightful commentary on the human search for fulfillment and happiness. The song suggests that this is something that is common to all of us, regardless of our backgrounds or cultural heritage. The lyrics remind us that it is important to hold onto our sense of self in the pursuit of our dreams, and that we should not allow ourselves to be exploited by others.
