CXX: Don't dream it's over 🎵

There are many things I love about music. From interesting and complex compositions, beautiful harmonies or simply lyrics that moves you, to name a few. This song is one of my favorites. I heard so many interpretations of what this song is about over the years, and I like that. The best lyrics are often ambiguous and mean something different for different people. For me this song is about lovers who stand by each other against all odds, against the negativity of the world and people who just disprove of them. Isn't that a lesson we all need to learn: don't care what other people think of you and concentrate on the few ones that really matter in your life?

 

Don't dream it's over - Crowded House

 

There is freedom within, there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

In the paper today tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Don't let them win
