Someone Watching Over Me Lyrics
Well I'm sure there's someone watching over me at night while I'm sleeping
'Cos no harm ever seems to come to me at night while I'm sleeping
They never let me wake to see who could be standing and guarding me
And when the morning comes they never seem to stick around
I see demons and spies with cyclops eyes at night while I'm sleeping
And girls with claws and blood stained floors at night while I'm sleeping
I see bullets of steel and they clip my heels at night while I'm sleeping
And all the blades they spin and slit my skin at night while I'm sleeping
I must have had a hundred fights and changed dark into light
But when I awoke all this violence and pain was alright
I'm gonna wait alone under my sheets and pretend to close my eyes
And I will wait until the sun comes up, I will wait all night
I don't care if you don't come and show youself 'cause I know you're always near me
And when it's dark again I'll count to ten and you'll be standing by me
'Cos no harm ever seems to come to me at night while I'm sleeping
And when the morning comes they never seem to stick around
And girls with claws and blood stained floors at night while I'm sleeping
I see bullets of steel and they clip my heels at night while I'm sleeping
And all the blades they spin and slit my skin at night while I'm sleeping
But when I awoke all this violence and pain was alright
And I will wait until the sun comes up, I will wait all night
I don't care if you don't come and show youself 'cause I know you're always near me
And when it's dark again I'll count to ten and you'll be standing by me

first post whoo,feels like a very beautiful song but i cant grasp what its about. kind of a sense of one night stands maybe and weird dreams he has,but its all okay,i dunno maybe someone can help me here??
I think its about night fears, maybe scared of the dark. he feels better in the thought that a loved one (family / freing / lover) was with him ("And when it's dark again I'll count to ten and you'll be standing by me").
andythebally i think you're right,but honestly thiis clear mannish voice should sing better songs.Not to say that there not a lot of good songs in the album.i just wish the next time there been more leftovers on the side.
To me it seems like making a point about the way that beliefs are formed in the first place - "I can see scary things happening, but then I turn out to be safe in the end, so there must be someone protecting me." It's a point about religion being a response to not understanding what's really going on.
