Free Money
Dreams of Wealth: Sammy Hagar's Free Money Reveals a Fantasy World of Luxury
Lyrics
Every night before I got to sleep
Expressing a nightly routine before sleep begins.
Find a ticket, win a lottery
Desire for luck or fortune, possibly through a lottery ticket.
Scoop those pearls up from the sea
Metaphorical imagery of collecting valuable things from the vastness of life.
Cash them in and buy you all the things you need
Converting collected treasures into material possessions for a loved one.
Every night before I rest my head
Continuation of the nightly ritual, preparing for sleep.
I see those dollar bills go swirling all around my bed
Imagining money swirling around, possibly symbolizing abundance or dreams.
I know they're stolen but I don't feel bad
Acknowledging the questionable origin of the money but lacking remorse.
I'll take that money and buy you things you've never had
Willingness to use ill-gotten gains to provide for a loved one.
Oh baby, it would mean so much to me
Expressing the importance of acquiring wealth for a significant other.
Oh baby, to buy you all the things you need for free
Reiterating the desire to obtain necessary things without cost.
If you believe, believe in me
An appeal for belief and trust in the speaker's intentions.
Where were you, babe? Where were you, babe?
Possibly questioning the whereabouts of the loved one.
Where were you, babe? Where were
-I had free money, free money, I had free money
Claiming possession of free money, emphasizing its abundance.
I had a dream about you, a dream about me
Recalling a dream involving the speaker and the listener.
And we had free money and a black limousine
Describing a scenario with wealth and luxury, contrasting reality.
Everything was new, it was clean
Portraying an idealized world with newness and cleanliness.
And you reached out for the ring, a diamond ring
Reference to reaching for a symbolic diamond ring.
But it wasn't real, it was a dream
Revelation that the dream's richness was not real.
I woke up and I screamed
Abrupt awakening from the dream and a visceral reaction.
I want you, free money
Expressing a strong desire for the concept of 'free money.'
