I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream, Joe
You were standing in the middle of an open road
I had a dream, Joe
Your hands were raised up to the sky
And your mouth was covered in foam
I had a dream, Joe
A shadowy Jesus, he flitted from tree to tree
I had a dream, Joe
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
I had a dream, Joe
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
And in that dream, Joe
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
And pointed his finger at me
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I opened my eyes, Joe
The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards
I opened my eyes, Joe
All your letters and cards, all stacked up against the door
I opened my eyes, Joe
The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack
In the window, Joe
And I thought of you man, and I felt like I was lugging
A body on my back
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
Where did you go, Joe?
On that endless, on that senseless, on that demented drift
Where did you go, Joe?
It was into the woods, it was into the trees, where you move and shift
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
Where did you go, Joe?
With that strew of wreckage
Forever at the heel of your boot
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream, Joe
You were standing in the middle of an open road
I had a dream, Joe
Your hands were raised up to the sky
And your mouth was covered in foam
I had a dream, Joe
A shadowy Jesus, he flitted from tree to tree
I had a dream, Joe
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
I had a dream, Joe
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
And in that dream, Joe
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
And pointed his finger at me
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I opened my eyes, Joe
The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards
I opened my eyes, Joe
All your letters and cards, all stacked up against the door
I opened my eyes, Joe
The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack
In the window, Joe
And I thought of you man, and I felt like I was lugging
A body on my back
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
Where did you go, Joe?
On that endless, on that senseless, on that demented drift
Where did you go, Joe?
It was into the woods, it was into the trees, where you move and shift
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
Where did you go, Joe?
With that strew of wreckage
Forever at the heel of your boot
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Why is there always this one reliably omnipresent commenter on Cave songs (and elsewhere) that assume this exaggeratedly astonished tone in their "general comment" simply because they're the first to comment? Is it really that unrealistic that no SongMeanings user had yet taken the time to type out their fleeting thoughts on one of the more underrated or underappreciated Bad Seeds' tracks, of which there are dozens? Or was it that these "first" commenters wanted to emphasize their supposed ingenuity or exceptional spiritual depth for deflowering a specific song page's comment section? As a cynical prick, I'm guessing the latter. I shouldn't get pissed off at internet ghosts, but fuck that. I've seen the same sort of comment across scores of lyrics pages today and I'm sort of sure Cave couldn't give a fuck who comments on these pages, when they do, and in which order. I'm all for music lovers showing outwardly direct support for the music they love, but I hate when it becomes some strange pseudo-popularity contest or race to say something all Cave listeners already know; when these first comments consist of statements of the artist in question's genius, and they usually do, I can't help but cringe at the ironically cliched emptiness. I'm clearly a monstrously insecure, sexually repressed, and pitifully friendless human being for typing all this, but it's nice to know your words exist somewhere in the universe. I guess I have more in common with these first commenters than I thought.
um... but this is an awesome song. I'm using it rather shamelessly in a playlist based on the film Nymphomaniac.
Shamelessly was the right word......
