God, why would Keane write such a negative song? The song seems to be telling me that I have no hope of achieving my dreams.

But at the same time, the line "I dreamed I had nothing at all" tells me that I already have everything I need. If he was dreaming that he had nothing, that means that in reality, he had something.

Maybe the message isn't that you can't achieve your dreams, but that you should let them play themselves out without rearranging them, just because you don't like where they seem to be going.
