Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
Aah, la-ah-la-ah
La-la-la
La-ah-la-ah
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Possible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh, my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
About This Song
"Dreams" is an ethereal and introspective ballad about the transformative power of love and the vulnerability that comes with opening oneself to new possibilities. The lyrics explore themes of personal growth, emotional awakening, and the way romantic connection can fundamentally alter one's perception of life and self-identity. Dolores O'Riordan's distinctive, lilting vocals float over jangly guitars and a gentle rhythm section, creating the dreamy, alternative rock sound that would define The Cranberries' signature style. The song captures the intoxicating feeling of falling in love while acknowledging the uncertainty and change it brings, with O'Riordan's voice conveying both wonder and fragility. As the band's breakthrough hit, "Dreams" established their place in the early '90s alternative rock scene and showcased their ability to blend Celtic influences with contemporary rock in a uniquely emotional way.
