In My Dreams
Perry Linda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my daydreams everything's worthwhile
In my daydreams I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me
In my daydreams
Hate meant just to smile
And the pain never bothered me
I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down
In my daydreams
I built my own empire
With no color and no creed
In my day dreams
I'm like a bird in flight
I'm I getting much too deep?
I want everything
Everything I want
There's no room to turn me
Upside down
I want everything, everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no time to turn me upside down
I want everything, everything I want
There's no room to turn me upside down
I want everything
Everything I want
Yeah, yeah
There's no room to turn me upside
Yeah yeah yeah, ohh...
In my daydreams




I ran a thousand miles
And everybody worshiped me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Perry Linda's song In My Dreams describe a world that exists only in the imagination of the singer. In her daydreams, everything is perfect and idealized. She is worshipped and successful, hate means nothing, and pain is nonexistent. This speaks to the human desire to escape reality and live in a world without imperfections, where we feel valued and successful. The singer also mentions building her own empire with no color or creed, which could be interpreted as a call for a more egalitarian society where everyone is truly equal.


The phrase "I want everything, everything I want" is repeated several times throughout the song and serves as a mantra for the singer's desires. She wants it all and isn't willing to settle for less. This could be a commentary on the modern culture of consumerism and the idea that we are never satisfied with what we have, always craving more.


The overall message of the song seems to be that while it is tempting to live in a world of daydreams where everything is perfect, it is important to remember that reality is often difficult and flawed. It is okay to strive for success and to want everything, but it is also important to accept and appreciate the imperfections of the real world.
