Fear of Sleep Lyrics
How did anybody find out where I was?
How did anybody find that out?
I was hiding from the world, I was a squirrel.
You chopped down my tree to get my fur.
Fear of sleep...
You're no fun.
Fear of the unknown.
I guess everybody's week must have been pretty rough.
Cause everybody's drunk, loud, and pissed off.
I know you hate to be impressed with someone else (other than yourself).
But you know, trying to hold back on being an asshole helps.
Fear of sleep...
You're no fun.

alright i suppose. these lyrics are messed up.
haha eelsrule your funny, i think the whole squrrel thing is hilarious, get to my fur haha.
I kinda take back the previous comment, turns out I really like this song now. Oops........
(b:D)b At Eelsrule, some of the songs on the album really do that to you...you hatign them, then ending up loving them afterwards, I mean.
As for teh song, the first verse just seems to be him paranoid from sleep depravation. I don't know what the second verse might mean, but it might just be him being easily ticked off ("everyone was loud"). Or, the other person is impressed with some positive quality of somebody, and the main character comments that if you were less of an asshole you wouldn't be so surprised. I dunno.
The "You're no fun" part, shen I first read that those lyrics were in the song, instantly made me think that the main character is angry at the people who are asleep, and who are not afraid of it, and since he's awake all night he's bored out of his mind. So he writes them off as boring sicne they go to sleep, with a "You're no fun". Maybe, I dunno...maybe it has something more to do with that second verse too.
"You're no fun. Fear of the unknown."
Very experimental song that comes off well. My favourite part is the build up before the chorus.
Yeah, some of the songs you gotta let grow on you. this is one of them. still dont love this song but the chorus is pretty cool (youre no fun, youre no fun..)
this is probably wrong, but maybe the song's about someone who's always on his guard(fear of sleep) becuz he's afraid he'll be exploited (you chopped down my tree to get my fur).
