Sleepyhead Lyrics
The headaches, the shaking, the boredom the boardroom brings.
You're scratching at itching brought by the spiders beneath your skin.
The answer in question is over before it begins.
I see you've brought your bedroom eyes.
Not assuming you wanna keep 'em,
I'm assuming you reckon you won't.
The headaches, the shaking, the boredom the boardroom brings.
You're scratching at itching brought by the spiders beneath your skin.
The answer in question is over before it begins.
I see you've brought your bedroom eyes.
Not assuming you wanna keep 'em,
I'm assuming you reckon you won't.
There's nothing to hold you but the flames.
Nothing to see here but the rain.
There's nothing to hold you but the flames.
Nothing to see here but the rain.
There's nothing to hold you but the flames.
Nothing to see here but the rain.
It's raining flames.
Where'd you take those bedroom eyes?
Not assuming you wanna keep 'em,
I'm assuming you reckon you won't.
this song is yet another great alkaline trio song... for some reason i dont listen to it that much... that will all change soon tho (-:
trio is my favorite band by far... i actually created a poem using ALL 91 of their songs. Each song is special in its own way so I am going to give credit to all of them and post my website (http://maxpages.com/alk3poem) where you are more than welcome to read my poem and post your comments and opinions, have a good one fellow trio fans (-:
This could quite possibly be my favorite alk3 song. If you don't have Maybe I'll Catch Fire, you should definitely check it out. I think this song is about a person who lives in their nightmares, like a sleepwalking wanderer in an unkind world. Lines like "earth to sleepy smile" make me think that someone's trying to snap this person out of their reality and into what's real, but they won't return from their self imposed hell. Fell free to add your pieces of mind below...
I see it as his message to someone who's having a problem with drugs... "All you've been asking for's been placed in front of you. The headaches, the shaking"; it sems like withdrawl symptoms to me
My favortie lyric in this song is, "Sleepy smile" I think thats a really great line. "Hey there sleepy smile" it makes me giggle.
its a great song. wow, how come i always end up posting under you.....crazy.
I think its about a girl that feels very unworthy of anyone...like shes unaware of her own self worth. So she sleeps around and plays around and then does drugs and drinks to try and forget the crap she does. I could be wrong, but I know a girl that fits this song perfectly. she smiles at me like she just wants to screw...ya know? But I think she needs more than that, so I certainly don't, I just remain her friend. "Hey there sleepy smile" to me implies that he feels dearly for this girl. Well thats my thoughts...great song nonetheless :D
"theres nothing to hold you but the flames". yeah that kinda sounds like all that bad stuff youre talking about steve.and maybe when they say "nothing to see here but the flames" its like, you cant keep this up forever
I never really liked this song much. It's ok, I guess, but there are so many better songs on maybe I"ll catch fire . . .
I def think that this is about somebody on drugs... just picture somebody with a "sleepy smile"- they look like their high! It touches on hallucinations n the fact that their world is different from reality... n it seems like the person's friend is trying to help him get over the drugs... I've never really been into drugs, but I still love the meaning of this song...good stuff!
This song could be about drugs, it is a unique sounding Alkaline Trio song, and I can't make up my mind if is better than most of their songs or worse.
Nothing to see here but the rain. There's nothing to hold you but the flames
That's my favorite part of the whole song, it rules.
