Sleep

"Now these years locked in my drawer I'll open to see, just to be sure."

These lines hit close to home. My boyfriend of 4 years and I broke up about a year ago, and now it almost feels as if I have to remind myself that we were even ever together ..it seems like that was a completely different world or something. It's actually rather sad ..realizing that the difficult part isn't getting over him anymore ..it's trying to remember how it was to be with him.

livelovemusiccc, I am right there with you with "it's trying to remember how it was to be with him." It's funny spending all that time with someone, you'd figure you'd remember, but once they're gone, it's almost like nothing existed to begin with. This song definitely hits WAY close to home, as I'm sure most music does. Also, I am in love with Maria's music. I've never heard a song from her that didn't fail with me.

I think its about someone who disappointed her and all the good times back then only make it harder because of the 'what could've been'.

I believe the singer has lost someone very close to her through a death and feels depressed about it."I can't sleep I can't speak to you" she literally can't speak to this person. It may have been a significant other who left untimely. When someone passes it can seem like time since their departure is distorted." Now these years locked in my drawer. I'll open to see just to be sure." It can seem like you lost them yesterday though years have passed. She wants time to pass faster just to ease the pain."Fill these spaces up with days" She questions the meaning of life "reaching out for the one" Through her grieving the women seems to realize her sorrow is in a way overlooking the fact that the persons life was meaningful and should be celebrated. "And all this like a message comes. To shift my point of view. I'm watching through my own light. As it tints the shade of you"

first azure ray song i heard. it made me want more. so good.

ahhh jared

are you guys kidding me? This song is amazing.

I remember that the first song I heard by them was "Displaced", and it made me not like them too much . . . so, after awhile, a friend suggested I listen to "Sleep" and I did.

I've totally loved Azure Ray ever since. Even if I still don't like "Displaced" too much.

This song, as well as its beauty and all of that, is so pure in its . . . sadness. Another cry-worthy song, I think. Great to listen to if you want to feel that bitter sort of relief. I love it.

i love this song, lol I listen to it when I can't sleep. like right now.

this song is totally in "the devil wears prada" kickass.
