Steamroller Dreams
Chasing Dreams on Santa Monica Boulevard: A Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Driving down Santa Monica Boulevard
Reflecting on a journey down Santa Monica Boulevard
Driving around in my hearse
Driving in a hearse, possibly a metaphor for a vehicle associated with death
Driving to the beach, sand and surf wet on my feet
Heading to the beach, feeling the sand and wet surf on the feet
Waiting for the band, To go rock a beat
Anticipating a band performance and the excitement of rocking a beat
Moving on from you, was the hardest thing I could do
Expressing the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship
Moving on to find somebody new
Seeking a new connection or relationship
Moving to the states, I'm sure you can appreciate
Moving to the United States, indicating a major life change
This is just something I have to do
Stating the necessity of the move
Dreams of California
Having dreams related to California, a symbol of aspirations
Dreams of fame and fortune
Aspiring for fame and fortune
Follow that sun until it sets in the sea
Pursuing dreams under the California sun until it sets in the sea
Follow that dream until it finds me
Persistently following a dream until it materializes
Dreams of California
Reiterating dreams associated with California
Driving down the street, Palmer smoking beside me
Driving with a companion named Palmer, possibly a friend or bandmate
When I saw Ritchie and Steve and they flagged us down
Encountering Ritchie and Steve, suggesting connections in the music scene
Got into a band, found a manager – Friedman
Forming a band with a manager named Friedman
Named it all after the steamroller downtown
Naming the band after a steamroller downtown, signifying a distinctive identity
Dreams of California
Reiterating dreams associated with California
Dreams of fame and fortune
Continuing to aspire for fame and fortune
Follow that sun until it sets in the sea
Persistently following dreams under the California sun
Follow that dream until it finds me
Continuing to pursue the dream until it materializes
Dreams of California
Repeating dreams associated with California
I was driving down with Bruce
Driving with Bruce, possibly another band member or friend
Rock n' roll journey
Engaging in a rock 'n' roll journey
Like charging buffalo
Metaphorically comparing the journey to a charging buffalo
Thundering across the fields to...
Thundering across fields, symbolizing a powerful and impactful journey
Dreams of California
Reiterating dreams associated with California
Dreams of fame and fortune
Continuing to aspire for fame and fortune
Follow that sun until it sets in the sea
Persistently following dreams under the California sun
Follow that dream until it finds me
Continuing to pursue the dream until it materializes
Dreams of California
Repeating dreams associated with California
Fields to dreams of California
Linking fields to dreams of California, emphasizing the journey's connection to aspirations
Fields to dreams, fields to dreams
Repeating the connection between fields and dreams
Fields to dreams, fields to dreams
Emphasizing the link between fields and dreams of California
