Grizzly Bear – Sleeping Ute Lyrics 13 years ago
to me it's about addiction ..
if I could find peace, if this night bleeds
if I could lie still, as that grey hill (then I wouldn't need drugs)
but I can't - help myself

so the beginning of the song is about craving to get high
then it's like the drugs have kicked in - the song takes a turn into a dreamy phase
and suddenly it's calm (drugs kick in) collapsed here on this stone (!)
then the dark visions - the light through the smoke (!)
dizzy when I woke
I know no other way than straight on out that door
(and back into the addiction)
and I can't help myself
