Street Of Dreams
Stacey Kent & Jan Lundgren Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on and trade in your old dreams for new
Your new dreams for old
I know where they're bought
I know where they're sold
Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight
And you'll be met there by others like you
Brothers as blue
Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight
Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy
It's ringing with cheer
'Cause yesterday's gone
Tomorrow is near
Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight
Things will be brighter the moment you find
More of your kind
Smiling on the street of dreams
Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, sliver and gold
All you can hold is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
The lyrics of Stacey Kent's "Street of Dreams" convey a message of hopefulness and a fresh start in a place where dreams can be renewed. The opening stanza emphasizes the importance of moving past old dreams and searching for new ones. The singer recognizes that she knows where dreams can be bought and sold, implying that people need to actively seek out opportunities for change. The idea of midnight also has significant symbolic meaning, representing a threshold to something new and unknown.
The chorus of the song echoes the sentiment that the street of dreams is a place where everything is possible. Even a king cannot hold onto love, and broken dreams can be made new. In this street, gold, silver and all you can hold are present in the moonbeams, possibly an allusion to the infinite possibilities of dreaming. The street of dreams is presented as a place where everyone is equal, no one is poor, as long as love is real.
The second verse reiterates how the street of dreams can bring joy to even the unhappiest of people. The ringing of the steeple in the middle of the night is a metaphor for the hope and excitement that the idea of change can bring. The singer's sentiment is that the heart is lighter at midnight, and finding people who share their vision can brighten their spirits. The street of dreams is a place where people with similar mindsets unite, making their dreams a reality.
Overall, the song conveys a message of optimistic change and the endless potential of dreaming. The street of dreams is a place where kindness, equality, and love rule the day, making it a place where all can thrive.
