Don't Dream It’s Over
Embrace Freedom and Resilience: A Journey Through 'Don't Dream It’s Over'
Lyrics
There is freedom within
There exists freedom internally.
There is freedom without
There exists freedom externally.
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Attempting to contain something immense (like emotions) in a small space, which is impossible.
There's a battle ahead
There's a forthcoming struggle or challenge.
Many battles are lost
Despite numerous struggles, some battles end without resolution.
But you'll never see the end of the road
The journey continues indefinitely, there's no clear conclusion.
While you're travelling with me
While journeying together.
Hey now, hey now
Expressing urgency or calling attention.
Don't dream it's over
Don't believe that everything is finished or hopeless.
Hey now, hey now
Similar to line 8, reinforcing the message not to give up hope.
When the world comes in
When challenges arise collectively or on a global scale.
They come, they come
Others join in or become involved.
To build a wall between us
Efforts are made to create division or separation between individuals/groups.
We know they won't win
Confidence in overcoming those attempts at division.
Now I'm towing my car
Moving forward despite facing challenges (symbolized by a damaged car).
There's a hole in the roof
Symbol of vulnerability or imperfection despite progress.
My possessions are causing me suspicion
Suspicion arising from personal belongings or possessions.
But there's no proof
Lack of evidence to support suspicions.
In the paper today
News depicting conflicts and wastefulness.
Tales of war and of waste
Choosing to ignore negative news and distractions.
But you turn right over to the TV page
Turning away from negativity to focus on entertainment or less pressing matters (TV page).
Hey now, hey now
Similar to lines 8 and 9, urging not to lose hope or give in to despair.
Don't dream it's over
Reiteration of not succumbing to hopelessness.
Hey now, hey now
Similar to lines 8, 9, and 22, emphasizing the persistence of hope.
When the world comes in
Recurring challenges faced collectively.
They come, they come
Others joining in efforts to divide or create barriers.
To build a wall between us
Confidence in overcoming attempts at division.
We know they won't win
Belief in prevailing against attempts to create separation.
Now I'm walking again
Resuming forward movement.
To the beat of a drum
Moving forward rhythmically or in sync.
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Approaching someone's emotions or inner self cautiously and with intent.
Only shadows ahead
Future uncertainties or challenges looming.
Barely clearing the roof
Barely managing to overcome challenges, represented metaphorically.
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Understanding the sensation of freedom and relief.
Hey now, hey now
Reiterating the importance of not giving up hope or surrendering to despair.
Don't dream it's over
Continuing to emphasize the importance of hope despite challenges.
Hey now, hey now
Similar to lines 8, 9, 22, and 24, urging persistence and hope.
When the world comes in
Challenges faced collectively or globally.
They come, they come
Others contributing to efforts to divide or create barriers.
To build a wall between us
Confidence in overcoming attempts at division.
You know they won't win
Assurance in prevailing against attempts to create separation.
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)
Encouragement not to allow the forces of division to succeed.
Hey now, hey now
Reiteration of not succumbing to hopelessness.
Hey now, hey now
Repeating the urgency to resist and maintain hope.
Don't let them win (They come, they come)
Urging not to allow forces of division to triumph.
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah
Reiterating the call to resist despair and maintain hope.
Hey now, hey now
