“Wake me up” by Aloe Blacc (My favorite song about dreams and Hope)
People are confronting the artist that the darkness he is feeling is nothing but just a dream. He isn’t that matured to understand the situation. But, Aloe Blacc knows that it’s a truth and wishes to sleep. He wants to wake up again when the bad things happening in the world will get over. When he was young, he thought everything in the world is going fine, but as he grew older, he got the wisdom of knowing that he is lost. (This is one of the best song about dreams and hope).

In the eyes of a teenage crystallized
Mckee Benjamin Arthur / Grant Alexander Junior
Oh, the prettiest of lights
That hang the hallways of the home
And the cries from the strangers out at night
They don’t keep us up at night
We have the curtains drawn and closed
Meaning of “Dream” by Imagine Dragons – There are many things outside that are disturbing and don’t let us sleep at home quietly. The fake cries, The light that is placed outside our window, it’s all just to wake us up from the dream and become a part of the same world. But hold on, We are not that weak. We have curtains to block the lights coming from the hallways. And a mission to remain under the roof and just dream about the world we want.

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
Cornell Haynes / James Scheffer / Frank Romano / Richard Butler / Damon Reinagle / David Harris / Jim Jonsin
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they’re gone and you’re wishing
You could give them everything (Everything)
Meaning of “Just a Dream” by Nelly – Nelly wants to ask us if we ever loved someone and want to live the whole life with her, we need to fix everything that’s broken at that moment itself. Don’t allow the delicate thread of love between people to break. If it breaks once, it cannot be amended, even if you mend it, there will be a knot in it that you will feel every time coming closer to each other. Which means there will always be some awkwardness in the relationship. But if it’s broken, you will keep on wishing for the changes you could have done earlier.

And you got me lost for words
I sing, oh

Wait if I’m on fire

How am I so deep in love?
When I dream of dying
I never feel so loved
