Dream Song Lyrics

Pulse straight from the sky
Twenty pine boxes all stacked to the side
Creatures of violence
Creatures of violence
Dreams are bound

Cultures sold
Keepers of dead men's souls
Preachers of white lies
Preachers of white lies

Dreams about gold,
Salvation overthrow
Cinema starring
Bright light picture show

Pulse straight from the sky
Twenty pine boxes all stacked to the side
Creatures of violence
Creatures of violence

Dreams about gold
Salvation overthrow
Cinema starring
Bright light picture show

Dreams about gold
Salvation overthrow
Cinema starring
Bright light picture show
A dream we dream

Climb our way back
Climb our way back home

Cultures sold
Keepers of dead men's souls
Preachers of white lies
Preachers of white lies

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

When I first heard this song without looking through the lyrics, I thought the song was describing the insanity that is fame, or becoming famous. "Cinema starring, bright light picture show" and "Dreams about gold" seems to hint at that. The proper lyrics at the end of the chorus go "A dream we dream" not "Dream the dream". And that is something that many secretly or maybe not so secretly dream about: being famous. Though now that I actually look at the lyrics, it may have a different meaning altogether. The "Twenty pine boxes stacked to the side" still puzzles me...
