"Dream of a day
When the songs that you play
Are blasting through the speakers in your car
And it comes in a flash
And you hear the crowd
Screaming out your name for the encore"
Before somebody's rich and famous, they dream of becoming that. They dream of having their songs play on the radio, at concerts the crowd calling out your name for you to sing an encore. Pretty self-explanatory.
"Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad
No, we can't complain
Who's to say
That we won't keep it real?
Hold on tight
Don't you dare let go
Now's the time
Let the whole world know
You can shine bright
But still keep it real"
Life in the fast lane is obviously referring to being a celebrity. They're saying it's not that bad, they can't complain. Who's to say that they can't still be normal, that they'll let go of all reality and become a stuck-up celeb. They're out to prove that you can still be a star but stay grounded at the same time.
"Who could know
That you'd be on the road
Selling out the tickets to your show?
When you're home
You're still the one
You were before you left to go on tour"
Who would have known that before they became famouse that they would be. That they'd be having sell-out concerts. But at home, they're still the same as they were before they became world famous and started touring.
"Did you ever think your dreams
(Would become a reality?)
All you did was just believe"
Did you ever think that your dreams would come true if all you did was believe. Very simple to understand. I touched up that last one there because it was missing the word 'You' in the beginning.
I'm pretty sure that's what the meaning of the song is. I'm going to feel really stupid if I got it wrong, because it is a fairly simple song to interprete. :P
