I personally think the meaning of this track is to search for your true meaning, because those "dreams" is of reaching your destiny because if you don't your life will become a psychological loop of no subconsciousness, no ambition, no anything. You need to take a leap of faith in yourself and wake-up to find your true meaning because if you don't it'll become "1000 Dreams":

You need to take a leap of faith in yourself and wake-up to find your true meaning because if you don't it'll become "1000 Dreams":
"A new day, a new dream Waking up but still sleeping All the time remembering Pictures of your 1000 dreams"
"A new day, a new dream Waking up but still sleeping All the time remembering Pictures of your 1000 dreams"
"Again and again and again and again the same dream…”...
"Again and again and again and again the same dream…”
It could be that Miss Kittin & the Hacker are explaining how you can wake up in a new day and continuously daydream these same dreams just to only maintain them as such. They just become pictures, stilled memories of emotions/thoughts ingrained but in the next stanza:
"Is it too exhausting To be in the wondering? Don't you know it will repeat Until you find the meaning?"
They're stating isn't it so tiring to still have these thoughts? Don't you know your psyche will continue to repeat these "1000 Dreams"? Until you find the meaning of it. Instead of withholding, dazing, and not going for it... do the opposite and handle whatever it is! It's your destiny!
"Another chance, take a break Face to face, big escape Rewind and sublime 1000 dreams to reach the one"
Take another chance and relax, face it, and escape. If it rewinds and sublimes it's okay, keep going to reach THE ONE. Don't stop because if you do... 1000 Dreams.
This track refers to the idea that the pursuit of power and material wealth often leads to isolation and loneliness, despite the outward appearance of success and control. It suggests that while someone might achieve a position of dominance, akin to a god or a king, they may ultimately find themselves isolated and disliked due to their choices.

As a teen in the '70s, I owned the published sheet music book for Cream: Goodbye. For better or worth, here's what the lyrics were, at least according to that book. If you read them while listening to the song, you'll see that they sound about right. (Mind you, this is from 50-year-old memory, so one or two lines may be slightly off, but on the whole I think they're what was published.)

By the way, I'm no expert on cockney rhyming slang, but it's well known that "take a butcher's" means "take a look" (look = "butcher's hook")....
By the way, I'm no expert on cockney rhyming slang, but it's well known that "take a butcher's" means "take a look" (look = "butcher's hook"). Also, I assume most people know that "old Bill" is UK slang for the police.
Danger's in a jam-jar parson's collar in the sky. Water in a fountain doesn't get me very high. Moby Dick and Albert making out with Captain Bligh. So you know what you know in your head. Will you, won't you, do you, don't you know when a head's dead? What a bringdown!
Little leader Lou is growing abstracts in the North. Betty B's been wearing daisies since the twenty-fourth. Where's it gonna end there's one more coming forth. And you know what you know in your head. Will you, won't you, do you, don't you want to go to bed? What a bringdown!
There's a tea-leaf about in the family Who'll end up in the Bowery and else There's a tea-leaf afloat in the Rosie Lee Help! Ring ding-dong bell!
Take a butchers at the dodgy minces of old Bill. Aristotle's orchestra are living on the pill. One of them gets very very prickly when he's ill. And you know what you know in your head. Will you, won't you, do you, don't you want to make more bread? What a bringdown!
The song meaning's already been established. But why was she standing in the middle of the freaking street? (And, no, she wasn't a pro. Cripes.)

This is about flat earth theory. The circle line referred to in the lyric is not the London Underground Circle Line but rather the Arctic Circle; the ice-wall at the edge of the earth. "As you cross the circle line the ice wall creaks behind" ... and shatters, sending out "silver splinters" or shards of ice from the circular ice wall.

[Verse 1] The roses in the window box have tilted to one side Everything about this house was born to grow and die Oh, it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day You said, "I'm sorry, honey, if I don't change the pace I can't face another day"

[Verse 2] I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you Like all the burnin' hoops of fire that you and I passed through You're a bluebird on a telegraph line, I hope you're happy now Well, if the wind of change comes down your way, girl You'll make it back somehow
[Chorus] And love lies bleedin' in my hands Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playin' rock and roll, and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band Love lies bleedin' in my hands

A song about wanting to help someone in their time of need, even if it means putting your own well-being second to theirs.

My interpretation of Silver Screen is pretty straightforward, it's how many chase the same highs—pleasure, drugs, money, fame—over and over all for you to then indulge and become empty. Materialism and vanities stuck in a repeat:

In this stanza, I believe Felix is manipulating us to join the lifestyle instead of leaving it. "See the light, join the herd" how I see it, "see the light" is to be taken as the light on the silver screen. To "join the herd" is being a follower, you succumb. The lines "Love, it comes, love, it goes" and "Diamond memories go with the flow" interprets that even love and diamond memories can disappear within seconds since you're too infatuated with the disillusion imagery in-front of you. You become emotionally empty, just to continue consuming.
Even the most cherished moments fade under the tide of what you sit to see, that glamour lifestyle—pleasure, money, drugs, and fame... because that's what is seen, the world IS dominated by spectacle and conformity. That's what I think Felix is telling us. Don't fall victim to that because if you do, you can't get out and it becomes a loop. Don't fall for it...
I grew up listening to Felix Da Housecat, this, Fantasy Girl, and Simmerman was my introduction to a LOT of house music alongside Junior Jack, Alan Braxe, and DJ Falcon. I'm glad I still have my record of Kittenz and Thee Glitz. .
