Sleeper Hold Lyrics

With a passion he choose, why don't you scream
With passion it's cold, and nice to try
With passion he choose the one he's like
With passion he's ruined

With passion it's true and what's his name?

Inside home
I don't wanna take a ride home
I shouldn't make a bright one
And I sulk but a bright ones all I choose

With passion it's true and what's his name?
With passion it's you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I initially thought at one point he was singing "With passion there's truth" which I quite liked because to me it implied if one was honest with oneself and expressed oneself with passion, truth would be revealed to them. Now it seems more along the lines of being about an individual who lived a life full of passion to the point of it being self-destructive. With no objectivity or moderation to maintain a balance, he lived a life based purely off feelings and a passion that ended up being his undoing.

Any ideas as to what this means? It seems to me like it's about a lack of passion in anonymous hook-ups. I have no idea. Anybody?

I figured it was about how passion tends to complicate things. with passion you choose your lover, your friends, your everything. then it ends up being the death of you. he's done everything passionately only to see it ruin things, then he sulks at home. not sure what the bright ones are, but I'm guessing its his friends and relationships that he's messed up with his passion.
