Sweet Dreams
XXX Lyrics

The song "Sweet Dreams" by XXX is about the search for a better life and the tricky path that often accompanies it. The first verse starts with the line "Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I disagree?" The phrase "sweet dreams" refers to a happier, more fulfilling life that everyone is searching for. The second line, "who am I to disagree?" suggests that despite the challenges and difficulties that come with the search for a better life, it's still a worthy pursuit.

In the second verse, the singer talks about how he travels the world and the seven seas in search of something. This suggests that the pursuit of a better life is not limited to a specific geographic location. However, the repeated phrase "everybody's looking for something" implies that this search for something better is a universal human experience. The lines "Some of them want to use you, some of them want to get used by you, some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused" suggest that not everyone has good intentions and that the path to a better life might come with its fair share of manipulation, exploitation, and abuse.

The chorus repeats the first verse, suggesting that despite the challenges and difficulties that come with the pursuit of a better life, it's still worth it. The repeated lines at the end of the song, "Hold your head up, keep your head up" are an encouragement to maintain a positive outlook despite the setbacks and obstacles that come with the search for something better.
