Song Meaning of “Worse Dreams” by Soundgarden
Worse Dreams is a heart-wrenching song by Soundgarden about how life can present its challenges and can knock us down but we need to keep going despite our fears and heartache.
The lyrics “the night comes and I want something more/Just something to get me by/Lost in my thoughts and my feelings too/Another part of life to try” reflects on how in the dark night of life, and even in the brightest days we all strive for a better life. We want something more to get us by and the feelings that come with challenge and heartache must be conquered.
The chorus “Do I try to answer all my worse dreams/Somewhere I try to find release/Do I dare to face my wounded heart/Do I walk away and break apart” represent the inner turmoil and questions we must answer when faced with life’s difficult tests. We try to find a way out but often times the courage to face our heartache and go through the toughest times is wearisome.
The song ‘Worse Dreams’ is a testament to how life will present us with challenges and it is ok to feel scared and overwhelmed but we must press on and use our dreams to give us courage. Even in the darkest nights of life, our fears and shattered dreams can be a source of inspiration.
