Worse Dreams Lyrics

Let it swirl around you now
And let it fall apart
Put it back again
And find every piece
But it's not the same
And you never
can be sure just
How it looked
when you started
Turn around again now
And do it all over and over

Like a doll from a bad dream
When it's gone
Worse dreams are born

Everybody in, sit down
and keep on
holding on
Pull your arms around
Black clouds drown
And the rain is walking
Body in the ground by now
Down seven feet
and rolling
Hanging on the tail of
The sunrise til
You can't let go

Like a doll from a bad dream
When it's gone
Worse dreams are born
Like a doll from a sad dream
When it's gone
Worse dreams are born

Cover art for Worse Dreams lyrics by Soundgarden

This song is very much dream inspired, the lyrics reflect that throughout. So really the lyrics are describing a dreamscape. According to dreammoods.com a "Doll" in a dream refers to lightheartedness and fun. My understanding is, if that "Doll" is in a sad dream (or bad dream), the idea is turned on its head. Therefore, the dream becomes worse. Quite simple really.
