The Dream Lyrics

Cover art for The Dream lyrics by Shinedown

This poem is friggin trippy, I was hoping somebody had a thought on the meaning... everytime I hear this track when the girl says "your're only listening to a dream" I always get goosebumps. I'm not sure what it means but I think the part "all the plastic people have now become your friends, Before you start to drift and your soul begins to scream" means, becoming friends with the "right people" (not nessecearaly people you like but people that will get you somewhere in buissness/polotics/etc.) to achive your goals and have the ideal life (to some), then you start to drift (twords conformacy?) your soul begins to scream because you don't really want to be doing whatever your doing... but I don't think thats an accurate meaning of the poem.
