| The Smiths – Asleep Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I really think this song is about sex- which might sound really literal, but I'm not convinced it is about death. He is with this woman for the night, and afterwards he just wants to go to bed- he is in capable of loving her, he can't feel anything real. He can only feel what is physical. He sings "don't try to wake me in the morning, 'cause I will be gone". He will not stick around after sleeping with this woman, and he doesn't want her to expect him to. He's a jerk, but at least he is honest about it. But then he begins to deal with his inner demons- "I don't want to wake up on my own anymore". Every human wants to be loved, and his whole life he was only searching for sex, nothing more meaningful. At the end he laments: "There is another world, there is a better world, well there must be". There must be another world where his thoughts and actions match up. He doesn't want to think his life has been wasted on the things that are not fulfilling- like sex, which only goes so far. |

The acoustic version of this song has different lyrics, so here they are: your true colors are starting to get loud have fun praying to your grey god now all that you told me to be was a moper, a dreamer that only refused to dream oh save it please my voice is peaking through your speakers and I'm speaking just to show you the way how could you shelter me out I'm much older now nooo you shatter like a beaker when I only want to show you the way ooooh and i'll build my way out of your demise these dreams are my castles not the walls you built up all around me woah oh when I look into my watch and I know time is, time is gold your true colors are starting to get loud have fun prayering to your grey god now now this war dont determine whos right this war just determines whos left standing tonight stop handing me lights I can see what you are in the dark just fine Im not blind Im bending the blinds peaking through to get a glimpse of your anguishing life youre hiding like a vampire here comes the strife this wont hurt me cause I get a thrill from your true colors are starting to get loud have fun prayering to your grey god now |
