Half Asleep Lyrics

I'm half asleep again
The shell is sleeping, my soul is not
I feel confused, too many thoughts
I fear, I fear temptation
Weird thoughts inside my mind
Brute thoughts are tempting me
I want to do what I know is wrong with my fear
I fear temptation

Take me away, fill me with desire
Teach me how to live a life without regret
Take me away, fill me with desire
Teach me how to live a life without regret

I'm half asleep again
The shell is sleeping, my soul is not
I'm still confused, too many thoughts
I fear, I fear temptation
Something's got a grip on my mind
Causing me to forget about you
Makes me feel that I had to choose
And I need you
I fear temptation

Take me away, fill me with desire
Teach me how to live a life without regret
Take me away, fill me with desire
Teach me how to live a life without regret

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.

This is about the inner struggle when one is about to cheat on his loved one. Desire is almost too great to withstand but he still fights againt it. He know it is wrong to even think about it but...

Anyway, great song.
