| Oh and something else - anyone else feel that the groans/noises at the start sounds startling like the noises the woman makes in the Grudge? | |
| Sleepytime Gorilla Museum – Sleep Is Wrong Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I got three opinions. First is an extension on what Drummah Boih said but, "When I go out I'm never coming home" means that the day a person goes to get a job, he will never come home the same person. He's a new person, motivated by work. Second is that the whole thing's about nightmares or otherwise being scared to go to sleep: Writhing in the old bliss/reeling in the sweet grip - having pain in dreams. Your eyes are yours to close - someone is being tempted to sleep through trying to stay awake so long they've grown too tired. When I grow up I'm never gonna sleep - childish thoughts that it's possible to avoid nightmares by simply not sleeping. When I go out I'm never coming home - once the nightmare starts, it's gonna take a huge fright to shake yourself outta the dream. Or perhaps, this song is about someone who is very close to dying: Writhing in the old bliss - a lot of pain Reeling in the sweet grip - "reeling in" is a term in fishing ... getting closer to the sweet grip = death Your eyes are yours to close - the minute you close your eyes you're submitting to death but that temptation is always there when you're in agony. When I go out I'm never coming home - once you're dead you're never coming back Do not go gently - fight on to survive Sleep is wrong - when you give up you die |
