SWEET DREAMS
Snuff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking gobshite, hollow legs
Morning brings back fools and songs
Enemies and headaches
Sweet dreams
Don't waste fingers trying to catch a knife
Slide into a bottle or a chemical void
The question sits and waits on the other side
Sweet dreams you can't recall
Sweet dreams you don't remember
The lyrics to Snuff's song "Sweet Dreams" delve into the consequences of irresponsible behavior and the residual effects of indulging in vices. The first two lines suggest that a mistake has already happened and the singer has lost their money. The next line refers to the singer as a "hollow legs" - someone who can consume a lot but with no real substance. The opening lines set the scene for a hangover and the feeling of regret that often comes with it. The second verse highlights the futility of trying to control certain outcomes. The figurative language in the line "Don't waste fingers trying to catch a knife" implies that there are forces beyond one's control. The line "Same old questions multiple choice" suggests a sense of repetitiveness and predictability when it comes to bad decisions. The third line is more explicit in the reference to alcohol and drugs as outlets to numb the pain. The final line reaffirms that the singer is aware of the consequences but still goes ahead with it - "The question sits and waits on the other side."
In the chorus, the singer has a moment of clarity and wants to escape the reality of their actions. The phrase "sweet dreams" is typically associated with peaceful sleep and is an ironic contrast to the rest of the song. The lines "Sweet dreams you can't recall / Sweet dreams you don't remember" suggest that the only way to find solace is to forget what has already happened, paving the way for a vicious cycle.
