Sleep Underground

This song sounds really cool. I wouldn't mind if they made more experimental songs like this more often. The tremolo picking in the background (I think that's what it is... could be wrong) in particular sounds awesome.

"You play that role for years There's nothing else But you don't need your ears To listen to yourself Don't talk back Keep your lips closed tight" This verse seems like the narrator is trying to help someone relax and listen to what they have to say. There is no need to talk, so they should keep their lips closed tight.

"Sleep underground tonight Sleep underground tonight Sleep underground tonight If you were meant to save me If you were meant to save me Then I didn't realize 'till now 'Cause this is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone" He tells this person to "sleep underground" or to hide away from their problems and rest. the "if you were meant to save me" part seems to indicate a strong bond between the two. "This is just for you and I alone" is meant to suggest that this moment is just for them to enjoy.

This is such a chilled out song. I don't know what it means, other than the obvious, but it's just so relaxing. I dig.

His voice is so angelic, this track is amazing.

This is just for you and I alone.

I think this song is about someone that recently died. "sleep underground" meaning lying in a buried coffin.

You play that role for years There's nothing else But you don't need your ears To listen to yourself Don't talk back Keep your lips closed tight

here hes thinking about his final thoughts toward the person. hes speaking towards the person and to himself.

Sleep underground tonight Sleep underground tonight Sleep underground tonight If you were meant to save me If you were meant to save me Then I didn't realize 'till now 'Cause this is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone This is just for you and I alone

Sleep underground tonight Sleep underground tonight This is just for you and I.

he thinks about death, and what happens when we die. he wonders if he'll go to heaven, if he even believes in heaven. "If you were meant to save me" is like the death giving him wake up call to get more in touch with his spiritual self before he dies. "This is just for you and I alone" meaning no one has to know about this, but he is silently thankful for the wake up call even though it is painful and sad to think about.
