It took me a while to really figure out what this song means to me, but after thinking about it for a while, I can say that it's a bit sarcastic in its effect. A 'dream life' is actually something that isn't completely free and is composed of restrictions just like the life that is full of problems. It's an artificial take on society, especially a perfect one, and could be used to define how humans are never going to be perfected by any means. The world isn't completely dystopian when pared against the events that could be happening but aren't, but it will never be perfect. Humans will always be flawed, and naturally, life itself will always be flawed. The dream house, perfect children, wife / husband etc do not make life more meaningful. They are add-ons for better, but they do not make life perfect. I see this song as also branching out towards the artificial 'voice' of fame and fortune. Celebrities with all of their expensive cars etc, but then again, that is a part of the artificial feelings stemmed from a so-called 'perfect life.'
