Dreams
S.L.A.S.H. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As another poor boy is blown away
Look for the light of pure mankind
As another poor child is left behind
Look at the streets they begin to crack
Too many people on my back
What is right and what is wrong
Hey people, let's just dream away
Hey people, let's just dream away tonight
Look at these fine young boys in black
Too many tears ācos they're high on crack
The hope and the fear they'll find one day
As another poor child is blown away
Too many people in too many places
Misery is written on their faces
What is right and what is wrong
When you're living in a world where you don't belong
The lyrics of S.L.A.S.H.'s song Dreams convey a deep sense of despair and feeling of not fitting in society. The song begins with a call to look at oneself and the world around, noticing the devastation and tragedy that one can easily overlook. The lines "As another poor boy is blown away" and "As another poor child is left behind" suggest an endless cycle of suffering, one that no one seems to care about.
The second verse depicts the streets as "beginning to crack," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the breakdown of society. Too many people are struggling and suffering, and the singer is weighed down by the feeling of not belonging. The lines "What is right and what is wrong, When you're living in a world where you don't belong" reflect the internal conflict of the singer, who is struggling to find their place in a world that seems so you unforgiving and unfair.
The chorus, "Hey people let's just dream away tonight," is an invitation to escape from the harsh reality and dream of a better world. The lyrics are a poignant reminder to acknowledge the pain and suffering that comes with living in a society that is not perfect.
