Van Halen – Little Dreamer Lyrics 14 years ago
This may be my favorite VH song, but I don't think I'd want Little Dreamer tattooed on me given what the song means. It's about someone who, despite dreams and potential, never amounted to much. The song is only partly about people dismissing someone's dreams. It's also about how that negative hunch they had about the person turned out to be true.

"Weren't they amazed when you were
Really last
(Oooh) You are the little dreamer
(Oooh) You were the little dreamer, yeah, yeah"

The central character only thought he/she was headed for the skies. But that's not how it worked out. The person was and remains a dreamer.
