Until We Sleep Lyrics

Dance to the movement of the stars
Sing 'til the walls around us ring
Pray that it never fades away
Until we sleep

Feast, go ahead now, take your fill
Drink 'til the room begins to sway
Play and your cares will blow away
Until we sleep

Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Work though the work will break your back
Rest, hope to feel your spirits rise
But the years have cut you down to size

Now go to sleep

Into a deep and dreamless sleep our spirits fall
And what we sow we cannot reap nor keep at all

Cover art for Until We Sleep lyrics by David Gilmour

I think the song is about trying either to live a happy and careless life or to work hard to achieve something. But in the end the death comes and what happened before no longer matters since everyone ends up in a deep and dreamless sleep.

agreed. I think this album about face focuses on life and the decisions that are made by man from the most powerful to the simple.

Its not making life to be mundane. It is extremly positive in many aspects. Its just saying to live life but beware of the consequences of your actions.
