"Sleep" as written by Marko Saaresto, Olli Tukiainen and Markus Kaarlonen....
Hear your heartbeat
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM
You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
A beggar for soul in your face
Still it don't mater if you won't listen
If you won't let them follow you
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Day after day
Fickle visions messing with your head
Fickle, vicious
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, vicious
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM
You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
A beggar for soul in your face
Still it don't mater if you won't listen
If you won't let them follow you
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning
Day after day
Fickle visions messing with your head
Fickle, vicious
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, vicious
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning

"You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind"
Not meaning to go on about me, but maybe someone else feels the same?

Besides, I am just P.O.F.'s fan
"It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you"
Grim Reaper? A shadow meaning you've lost hope and are overclouded by death. That's just what I believe it means. That you just need to time to heal.
(yes i know, i'm one of "those" girls, that got stuck on the books.. but really, the books are great. the movie on the other hand sucks pretty bad.. hoping next will turn out better..)
Sorry, I went slightly off track about Muse, but it helped me make my point (:
You're feeling the rush
of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in.
To me it is as if you're waking up a day, feeling down and already feeling the depressed feelings weighing upon your shoulders, and even though you know it's bad, you can't help but to give in to them...
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
Here it's like the singer is telling the other that if you don't 'fight' against them or something, those feelings will take control of you, resulting in a person getting depressed.
And you need to heal
The hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind
This made me think of someone with a severe inferiority complex; every time you look into the mirror, it hurts to see yourself and words like 'ugly' 'fat' or something like that pop into your mind...
....Then again, this is only my way of seeing things ^^"
Hear your heartbeat
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM
The heart only beats frantically in a very few emotional states. These are mostly excitement and fear. Given that its not even seven AM, It rules out excitement leaving fear.
You're feeling the rush
of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in.
This shows someone who has been hurt in the past. Again its a rush. Fear causing adrenaline to pump and it settles in. The person can't deal with what they have been through so they can't help allowing the memories in.
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
This I agree with Camikaza on. It has to do with the drepression taking control.
And you need to heal
The hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind
Some believe that the eyes are the window to the soul. Behind them would be a wounded soul. Fickle means to change constantly. So the mind would be racing over things at this point.
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in,
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in,
And carry you over to a new morning
This in my opinion is a person trying to console someone who is going through this nightmare situation. They are encouraging the person to sleep and rest. The last line though I think holds some religious overtones, Though the darkness may last for the night, joy comes with the morning.
Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast
Here the person is trying to let go of the things that haunt her night. Its not something easy to do and it doesn't let go.
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over your
A beggar for soul in your face
At this point, the person is feeling hopeless. It feels as though death itself has taken them by the hand and its seen all over them.
Still it don't matter
If you won't listen
If you won't let it follow you
If the person would stop listening to the things that are bothering them, they could be free of it.
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind
The first part is simple. you just need to heal. Not really much deep with that. The next line though, Make good all your lies. This is very deep. Its second nature to say they are good or fine when asked how they are. We hide what we are really feeling. In essence we lie. The last line is saying to keep moving forward and don't look at where you have been.
Day after day
Fickle visions
Messing with your head
Fickle, vicious
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, visions
This is showing that what is happening isn't the first time it has. Its happened many times before.
Anyway, this is what I gleened from this. Its a really good song regardless.
Hurry up then
Or you'll behind and
They will take control of you
It's referring to bad memories coming and take control of his mind.
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
It's how memories are a part of you, you can't escape them.
I'm probably wrong, but it's just how I felt about this song!:)
By the way I looove it!
