Dream On
Ola Salo Lyrics

Thugs and badmen
There are people in this world who engage in criminal activities and are dangerous.

punks and liars
There are also people who are dishonest and have a disregard for authority.

fucked up interns
Even those who are new to a profession or industry can cause harm due to poor judgment.

pigs and snitches
There are those who betray the trust of others, often for selfish gain or to avoid punishment.

Rest your weary heads, all is well
Despite the presence of these negative elements, there is still hope and peace to be found.

You won't be strip-searched, torn up tonight
Tonight, you won't experience the humiliation and pain of being physically violated.

you won't be cut up, bleeding tonight
Tonight, you won't be physically assaulted to the point of bleeding.

you won't be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
Tonight, you won't suffer from addiction or withdrawal, feeling the physical and emotional effects of it.

wishing you were anywhere else but right here
When experiencing such trauma, it is natural to wish you were somewhere else.

So dream on
But instead of dwelling on the negative, it's important to keep dreaming of a better future.

Thieves and muggers
There are people who rob and steal from others, sometimes using violence.

tricks and hustlers
Some people use deception and manipulation to get what they want from others.

cheats and traitors
There are people who are disloyal to those who trust them and resort to dishonesty to achieve their goals.

scum and low-lives
Others are just generally considered to be immoral or unethical in their behavior.

You won't be sad or broken tonight
Tonight, you won't be overwhelmed by feelings of sadness or despair.

you won't be squealed on, ripped up tonight
Tonight, you won't be betrayed or physically harmed by those around you.

you won't be back-stabbed, double cross, face down
Tonight, you won't be deceived or harmed by someone you thought you could trust.

teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere
You won't experience the physical pain and humiliation of being beaten and left for dead in a public place.

Thugs and badmen
There are still people in this world who engage in criminal activities and are dangerous.

punks and liars
There are still people who are dishonest and have a disregard for authority.

fucked up interns
But even among those who are still learning, there can be those who make poor choices that affect others.

pigs and snitches
There are still those who betray the trust of others for selfish gain or to avoid punishment.

Rest your weary heads, all is well
Despite the continued presence of negative elements, there is still hope and peace to be found.

You won't be pushed down or messed with tonight
Tonight, you won't experience the physical or emotional harm that can come from being bullied or taken advantage of.

you won't be lied to, ruffed up tonight
Tonight, you won't be deceived or physically assaulted by those around you.

You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
You won't experience the psychological distress that can come from mental illness or obsessive behavior.

aimlessly wandering through the dark night
Instead of being lost and without direction, continue to dream of a better future and work towards it.

So dream on
It's important to keep moving forward and dreaming of a better future, even in the face of negative elements and experiences.
