Dreams
Zug Izland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you climbing up a slippery pole?
Fallin Deep In A Hole? (Deep In A Hole)
Fallin Down
Are you lost in an exitless maze,
Chasing impossible ways?
Are you going to spill?
Can't you build a snowman in the desert?
Are You chasing an imaginary treasure?
Walls, they go under and there over the top (over the top)
They haven't made a cage strong enough to keep 'em keep 'em keep 'em (Keep 'Em)
Mountains are enormous, but they all have a top
it's up to someone with a dream to come and reach 'em reach 'em reach 'em (Reach 'Em)
It's Just A Dream
You're Only Dreamin
Another Dream
Will love be yours, if so, will it last?
When the summer's past, summers past (yeah)
When you're alone, starin up at the moon (up at the moon)
Is it staring at you (staring at you)
You're like a dime you didn't mean to spend Will you ever see it again? (see it again)
Walls, they go under then there over the top (over the top)
They haven't made a cage strong enough to keep 'em keep 'em keep 'em (Keep 'Em)
Mountains are enormous, but they all have a top
it's up to someone with a dream to come and reach 'em reach 'em reach 'em (Come Reach 'Em)
It's Just A Dream
You're Only Dreamin
Another Dream
[more french, saying something about a carnival]
Walls, they go under then there over the top (over the top!)
They haven't made a cage strong enough to keep 'em keep 'em keep 'em (Strong Enough To Keep 'Em!)
Mountains are enormous, but they all have a top (All Have A Top!)
it's up to someone with a dream to come and reach 'em reach 'em reach 'em (Come And Reach 'Em!)
Yeah, come and reach em
Only a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream'
And then they go on in your head and you would scream
Holdin Back your dreams
Yeah, ohh, holdin back your dreams
Yeah, Hold Always Dreamin Never Always Dreamin
The song "Dreams" by Zug Izland is a reflection on the nature of the human pursuit for something that always seems out of reach. The song asks questions about the difficulties of life and the various obstacles one may face on their journey toward their dreams. The opening lines in French likely serve as a metaphor to the carnival, which symbolizes a fleeting and temporary escape from the routine of everyday life. The mention of climbing up a slippery pole and falling down emphasizes the idea that the journey towards one's dreams can often be frustrating and seemingly impossible.
The lyrics then move on to ask whether the listener is lost in an exitless maze and chasing impossible ways. These lines reflect the feeling of hopelessness that can sometimes accompany the pursuit of one's goals. The song then asks if the listener is running up a slippery hill, indicating the challenges that one may face on the path towards success.
The song then repeats the theme that walls can always be climbed, cages can always be broken, and mountains can always be reached. These lines suggest that no matter how insurmountable the obstacles may seem, there is always a way to overcome them. The song concludes by stating that dreams are only dreams and that the song is only a reflection of the never-ending cycle of holding back one's dreams and always dreaming.
