Sleep Spindles Lyrics
Oh was there someone you were thinking of?
Someone more complete
Was there someone you were thinking of?
Yeah
But if you're fighting against the wind
You know that we can't wake up
(We can't wake up)
We...
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
(We can't wake up)
We can't wake up
Inside this machine
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
Just to wake up
We try endlessly
Just to wake up
We can't wake up
But if you're fighting against the wind
You know that (we can't wake up)
We...
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
So in the morning when we lay here dark and still
We wait for sunrise
Familiar voices tell us tales of what's to come
As they pass on by
Cause We...
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
We...
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
Yeah We...
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
Yeah we will sleep alone
Someone more complete
Was there someone you were thinking of?
You know that we can't wake up
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
Inside this machine
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
Just to wake up
We try endlessly
Just to wake up
We can't wake up
You know that (we can't wake up)
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
We wait for sunrise
Familiar voices tell us tales of what's to come
As they pass on by
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone
We can't wake up
We can't wake up
It's turning and turning inside my head
So we will sleep alone

I love this song =] I don't really know what it means,,, but i'd like to think it has something to do with the fact that sleeping is a good escape
More likely, it could be saying that everyone is kind of blind to the truth, that there is more to life and we all want a sense of completeness, but we can't wake up to it or get ourselves together enough to get up and figure out what it is.
The line 'But if you're fighting against the wind' says to me that by trying to get up and find something real you're facing a whole heap of opposition, trying to force you back into apathy.
the second verse... 'So in the morning when we lay here dark and still We wait for sunrise Familiar voices tell us tales of what's to come As they pass on by' ...i think represents that the 'voices' telling us to find something real are not powerful or obvious, but more like whispers, as they come in the dark, still morning. So basically the opposition trying to keep us from finding anything real or meaningful in life are way stronger than the need or desire to find it.
i dunno if that makes sense or is on the right track at all, but thats how i look at it.
I can't believe that only one other person has commented it!! Garr, the Getaway Plan is brilliant! I saw them on Friday xP
I don't know what this means either, but you seem to be on the right track :)
